[HelloThisIsFlo]

It's a bit confusing when you write:

item.save()
item.full_clean()

while the name of the tests is test_cannot_save_empty_list_item
Because in the end... the item is saved. It can be verified by putting the following right after the with block:

self.assertEqual(Item.objects.count(), 0)

Two potential solutions

• Maybe just swapping the order of the 2 lines might make things less confusing :)

  item.full_clean()
  item.save()

• Another solution would be to simply rename the tests from test_cannot_save_empty_list_item to test_cannot_validate_empty_list_item
  And removing the call to save() alltogether.
