Testing Django with MongoDB(Djongo)

Question

I'm looking for a way to test my Django app that works with MongoDB using Djongo.

I found Django Test Addons library but as I understood, it only works with mongoengine. Is there any manner to make it work with Djongo or do you know another similar library that I can use?

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community, Apr 02 '22 at 13:41

I just run my django tests with own config:

manage.py test --settings=myproject.settings.unit_tests

In my unit test config, I just import my base settings, and then change database name. This seems to work fine.

from .base import *

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'djongo',
        'NAME': 'test_myproject',
        'CLIENT': {
            'host': 'myproject-mongodb',
            'username': 'supermongo',
            'password': 'supersecret',        
        }
    }
}

what was the pymongo version in your project? I'm stuck with the same issue. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75978645/testing-drf-project-with-a-mongodb – Mike D Hovhannisyan Apr 10 '23 at 16:06
@MikeDHovhannisyan Sorry, I don`t remember and I cancelled using djongo. – user1383029 Apr 13 '23 at 12:29
So you switched to a sql database? – Mike D Hovhannisyan Apr 13 '23 at 15:23
@MikeDHovhannisyan Yes, postgres like always. Best choice for django, if you do not have really important reasons to use another db. – user1383029 Apr 18 '23 at 10:31
