Description

I am using serialized_rollback to retain some data migration between tests that need a database transaction. Unfortunately, things break when, for example, using the page fixture of Playwright or the migrator fixture of django-test-migrations. In those cases, serialized_rollback is ignored, and the data is not rolled back anymore. I am not sure why this exactly happens or how to deal with it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the interaction between serialized_rollback and the Playwright page or django-test-migrations migrator fixture. Trace how those fixtures affect the test database transaction, then verify that data is rolled back after the relevant tests complete.
