Description

The section 53.4 instructs the reader to add the following snippet to test_views.py:

@pytest.fixture
def user():
    return UserFactory()

This is redundant because the fixture user() is already defined in conftest.py. The conftest.py is provided by django-crash-starter.

Possible Solutions

Instruct the reader to refer to the fixture user() in conftest.py.
