This happens because you have OneToOneField, since that your every new Thing must be connected to User that wasn’t picked before. So because you already had dummy_thing with dummy_user as User, you can’t save new Thing instance with same dummy_user.

I believe your intention was that every Thing has a User, so you should use ForeignKey instead of OneToOneField.

But if i’m wrong, if you really need OneToOneField, then to test your POST request just create new user and login as new user, then thing.user = request.user will take dummy_user2 and there would be no conflicts with unique values.

class SampleTest(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        # Every test needs access to the request factory.
        self.factory = RequestFactory()
        self.dummy_user = User.objects.create_user(username='dummy', password='nothings')
        self.dummy_thing = Thing.objects.create(name="Dummy Book",
                                          description="Book For Dummies.",
                                          slug="dummy-book",
                                          user=self.dummy_user)
        self.dummy_user2 = User.objects.create_user(username='dummy2', password='nothing')

    def test_form_post(self):
        dummy_thing = Thing.objects.get(name="Dummy Book")
        self.client.login(username=dummy_thing2.user.username, password='nothing')

        # Test POST invalid data
        response = self.client.post('/accounts/create_thing/', { })
        self.assertFormError(response, 'form', 'name', 'This field is required.')
        self.assertFormError(response, 'form', 'description', 'This field is required.')
        self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'things/create_thing.html')
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

        # Test POST valid data? 
        response = self.client.post('/accounts/create_thing/', { 'name': 'new name', 'description': 'new description', })
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
