The warning message “unknown config option: django_settings_module” is related to pytest,
indicating that the pytest configuration file (pytest.ini, pyproject.toml, or
tox.ini) contains an unrecognized option called “django_settings_module”.
This usually happens when you define custom options in the pytest configuration file
that pytest itself does not recognize.
To fix this warning, you should either remove or correct the “django_settings_module”
option in your pytest configuration file.
Here’s an example of a pytest configuration file (pytest.ini) that contains an
unrecognized “django_settings_module” option:
[pytest]
django_settings_module = myproject.settings
# ... other pytest options ...
To fix the warning, you can either remove the “django_settings_module” line if it’s not
necessary for your tests, or use a valid option recognized by pytest.
If you intended to set the Django settings module for your tests, you can use the
“–ds” or “–django-settings” command-line option instead.
Here’s an example of how to specify the Django settings module using the command-line
option:
pytest --ds=myproject.settings
This will avoid the warning and correctly set the Django settings for your pytest tests.
