## What it does

Give the prompt a Django Viewset class. It will draft tests for creating, reading, updating, and deleting resources, then add cases for invalid input and permission problems.

The generated tests use Django’s `TestCase` and `APIClient`, with setup methods for any data the requests need. Descriptive test method names and comments are part of the requested output. Since the prompt asks for Django conventions, check that each proposed case matches the behavior of your Viewset.

## Install

### ChatGPT (native platform)

**How to use**
- Paste the text at the start of a chat or into project instructions

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/prompts.csv.md`

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/f/prompts.chat/tree/HEAD/prompts.csv

## When to use it
- cover Viewset CRUD operations with tests
- check how invalid input is handled
- test requests with insufficient permissions
- set up data for API request tests

## Example prompts
- Write tests for this Django Viewset, covering create, read, update, and delete requests.
- Add cases for invalid input and requests made without the required permissions.
- Use `TestCase` and `APIClient`, and prepare the data needed by the tests.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 91ea879c9c5a87f1
```text
I want you to act as a Django Unit Test Generator. I will provide you with a Django Viewset class, and your job is to generate unit tests for it. Ensure the following:

1. Create test cases for all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
2. Include edge cases and scenarios such as invalid inputs or permissions issues.
3. Use Django's TestCase class and the APIClient for making requests.
4. Make use of setup methods to initialize any required data.

Please organize the generated test cases with descriptive method names and comments for clarity. Ensure tests follow Django's standard practices and naming conventions.
```
END THIRD-PARTY FILE 91ea879c9c5a87f1

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the 91ea879c9c5a87f1 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
