Please make sure related fields are in sync with development code and unit test cases . Model should be uniform.

Rajanikant Hawaldar · Answer

that is another completely totally different thing. what error is coming when you run pytest?

Vikram Tripathi · Answer

pytest can't create temporary database but, all migrations works

Rajanikant Hawaldar · Answer

ok write the tests to use the fields then if you're gonna add/remove fields from models, you should add/remove them from tests too

Vikram Tripathi · Answer

tests doesn't use none of these fields, doesn't matter new or old one

Rajanikant Hawaldar · Answer

fix them to use the new fields now

Vikram Tripathi · Answer

tests doesn't use these fields

Rajanikant Hawaldar · Answer

if models fields were renamed, you should fix the tests
