A Simple Way to Test your Django Models

Description
This plugin allows you to simply test your Django models, by writing your tests
as you would write your models. On the other hand, pytest-django-model tests
only fields, constants, and the Meta inner class. You will have to write tests
of methods and properties.
The principle here is not really to test the behavior of your models but rather
to make sure that the settings are the right ones.

Installation
You can install “pytest-django-model” via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install pytest-django-model

Usage
The plugin is very easy to use, there are only three things to remember:

The PytestDjangoModel metaclass.
The model attribute.
The parents attribute (optional).

Let’s take this model:
class Foo(Bar, Baz):
class Meta:
unique_together = ("name", "email")

FAVORITE_COLOR_CHOICES = (
("BL", "blue"),
("YE", "yellow"),
("GR", "green"),
("RE", "red")
)

name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
email = models.EmailField(blank=True)

favorite_color = models.CharField(
max_length=2, choices=FAVORITE_COLOR_CHOICES, default="BL"
)
is_awesome = models.BooleanField(default=True)
To test it, we just have to write this:
from pytest_django_model import PytestDjangoModel

# Name of the test class doesn't matter.
class TestFoo(metaclass=PytestDjangoModel):
class Meta:
model = Foo
# Parents can be a model or a list/tuple of models.
parents = (Bar, Baz)

unique_together = ("name", "email")

FAVORITE_COLOR_CHOICES = (
("BL", "blue"),
("YE", "yellow"),
("GR", "green"),
("RE", "red")
)

name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
email = models.EmailField(blank=True)

favorite_color = models.CharField(
max_length=2, choices=FAVORITE_COLOR_CHOICES, default="BL"
)
is_awesome = models.BooleanField(default=True)
And voila! We can now launch tests with the command pytest.
From there, the class PytestDjangoModel will generate a fake Django model
from constants, fields and options of the Meta class. This model will inherit
all the models of the parents attribute.
The data of Foo model and the model created from the TestFoo class will
be extracted and compared. If any constant differs or isn’t found, pytest will
raise a error, same for fields and Meta options.
