Problem is, I can't post the field "author" as you can see in the tests.py, and returns an error "{'author': [ErrorDetail(string='Invalid pk "1" - object does not exist.', code='does_not_exist')]}" see attached photo below.
This is the error when running the test coverage run --omit='/venv/' manage.py test
This is my code inside my tests.py
