Comment (by Rob Atkinson):
OK - testing style and deeper integration testing with services is out of
scope - but i can't see why inheritance of tests isn't a key part of
inheritance as a supported mechanism.
There is also a detailed example of using fixtures, yet apparently using
fixtures is deprecated "Support for automatic loading of initial_data
fixtures and initial SQL data will be removed." all feels a little
perverse and unhelpful trying to collate all these disparate pieces of
information.
To be consistent, what is needed is an example of how to do a test
rather than a simple ref to the low level docs. This should come first,
with a reference to the fixtures deprecation issue, and push the example
of initial loading of fixtures to a separate page, or even better remove
it and reference back to docs for previous versions.
The FileField issue should be explicitly called out with a ref to #23251
and a guideline provided (should custom code for file CRUD handling be
unit tested and if so an example of how?)
