class SolutionFile(models.Model):
    \'\'\'
    A file from a s         


        

Answer 1

with pytest and pytest-django, I use this in conftest.py file:

import tempfile
import shutil
from pytest_django.lazy_django import skip_if_no_django
from pytest_django.fixtures import SettingsWrapper


@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
#@pytest.yield_fixture()
def settings():
    """A Django settings object which restores changes after the testrun"""
    skip_if_no_django()

    wrapper = SettingsWrapper()
    yield wrapper
    wrapper.finalize()


@pytest.fixture(autouse=True, scope='session')
def media_root(settings):
    tmp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
    settings.MEDIA_ROOT = tmp_dir
    yield settings.MEDIA_ROOT
    shutil.rmtree(tmp_dir)


@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def django_db_setup(media_root, django_db_setup):
    print('inject_after')
