-----------------------------------+--------------------
When using `post` on `RequestFactory` to upload a file we are calling
`django.test.client.encode_file`.
`encode_file` tries to join a list of bytes but `file.read()` return a
`str`.
See here:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/e22c64dfc0230134c0e9d9ae1d9a5c1589fc8b6e/django/test/client.py#L195-L202
Which result to the following error:
{{{#!bash
======================================================================
ERROR: test_upload_file (test_client.tests.RequestFactoryTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

File "/tests.py", line 10, in test_upload_file
