How to debug Django unit tests?

Question

I have a Django unit test, and I want to put print statements in it for debugging purposes but apparently django is suppressing them. How else can I print the value of a variable? I may be able to hack around with asserts, etc. but wondering how people do this.

Have you tried pytest? It modifies the assert statement and prints the variables in the assertion for you, if a test fails. – Deluna

You just can increase the verbosity with -v 3

Answer 2

just use the assert* methods:

self.assertEqual("the valule you want to know", 0)
