Asserting for presence of added objects in Django ManyToMany relation

Question

I have the following model;

class Station(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    address = models.TextField(default=\'\')
    owner = mode         


        

Answer 1

A few issues with your code, this is the output in my console:

>>> station.members

station.members is a ManyRelatedManager rather than a list of user2 and user3.

station.members.all() will return you a list of user2 and user3, but station.members.all() is a QuerySet instead of a list:

>>> type(station.members.all())

So doing assert station.members.all() == [user2, user3] will never be True.
