Description
I am trying to run selenium tests with pytest-django on a docker environment but the live_server fixture seems to not work. Simple test don't work like:
It refuses the connection with ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
def test_demo(self,live_server,setup):
print(live_server.url)
browser.get(live_server.url)
assert 'MyTitle' in browser.title
Writing the same with django's inbuilt LiveServerTestCase works.

Research direction
Reproduce the Selenium test using pytest-django's live_server fixture in the described Docker environment, recording the printed live_server.url and the connection failure. Compare that behavior with Django's built-in LiveServerTestCase; done means the browser can connect to the fixture URL and the example test passes.
