Description
I think the below are widely enough used on Django projects tests to be part of pytest-django itself.
- Fixture to create a django user (similar to admin_user, but non-admin)
- Create a user_client (similar to admin_user, but non-admin, related #553 #554)
- Create a request factory for unauth users (for
AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'errors). Helps mimic user middleware fast of falling back on AnonymousUser. See also, this example in Django docs - Request factory for normal django user
- Request factory for admin user https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-django/issues/284
