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`](https://pytest.org/en/latest/)? It modifies the `assert` statement and prints the variables in the assertion for you, if a test fails. — Boris Verkhovskiy, Sep 12 '19 at 14:34

You just can increase the verbosity with -v 3

just use the assert* methods:

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