[Django]-Testing views with pytest, how to mock celery task

✅

Decision

@patch.object(my_celery_task, 'delay')
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_create(mock_delay, api_client):    
    response = api_client.post(reverse('withdraw-act-list'), data=request_data, format='json')
    assert response.status_code == 201

I should pass mock_delay as parameter into my test function (as first parameter, it’s important)

Most likely Celery runs in another thread and your mock in current thread is useless, you need to enable synchronous operations by this option in your test environment:

CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True

and possibly this to get exceptions:

CELERY_EAGER_PROPAGATES = True
