Why is data not visible in Pytest-django?

Question

Django

I have a test class of tests:

class TestClass:
    @classmethod
    def setup_class(cls):
        cls.COUNT = 50
    def test_equals(self):
        assert self.COUNT == 50

when testing test_equals self.COUNT is visible. We add work with the database to the tests. (@pytest.mark.django_db):

@pytest.mark.django_db
class TestClass:
    @pytest.mark.django_db
    @classmethod
    def setup_class(cls):
        cls.COUNT = 50
    def test_equals(self):
        assert self.COUNT == 50

When testing test_equals, self.COUNT is not visible. Why is that?

Answer 1

According to the docs , the method should not be called setup_class but setUp
