[Django]-Calling a Django command in a unittest code

✅

Just pass them as keyword arguments:

call_command('download', 
             url="http://some-link.com/download/", 
             username="admin",
             password="admin")

The keyword arguments should reflect the dest values of your custom management command arguments.

Example for flush command:

--initial-data command-line argument in call_command() can be set by passing load_initial_data keyword argument:

call_command('flush', load_initial_data=False)

This is because it is --initial-data‘s argument destination:

parser.add_argument('--no-initial-data', action='store_false',
    dest='load_initial_data', default=True,
    help='Tells Django not to load any initial data after database synchronization.')
