Add tests

[oussjarrousse]

I suggest adding tests with PyTest.

If you like the idea, and you approves I will volunteer to create the boilerplate and the first few tests.

Sure but wont it better to use Django test

[oussjarrousse]

Yes good point.

I have used both Django tests (based on unittest) as well as PyTest (with the pytest-django plugin) to add tests to Django projects.

My experience with PyTest is much better, not only in Django project, but also in all kinds of Python projects.

I think there are several reasons for that, for instance pytest makes organising tests much simpler and much flexible than unittest. It also make parameterising tests much simpler. It also more economic in terms of lines of code, and in case you already have tests written for unittest, pytest can still run them...

Here are two articles with some pros. of using pytest for testing Django:
https://djangostars.com/blog/django-pytest-testing/
https://jmr.pl/blog/pytest

I also want to refer you to this stackoverflow Q/A:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44558018/django-test-vs-pytest (note that the issue the author mentions with gitlab-ci.yaml is rather lack of experience of the author with pytest than a real issue... basically he does not know about tox or hatch)

Ok your call.
