How to authentificate to api during tests ?

[manutheblacker]

Hello 👋🏾,

I'm currently implementing unit tests for my API, which utilizes secure cookies and CSRF tokens for user authentication.
I've written some test code, but I'm unsure about the correct approach to establish an authenticated connection before running my API tests.
Here is my code :

# tests/test_api.py
from django.test import TestCase
from ninja.testing import TestClient
from api.endpoints.users import router
from api.controllers import api

class TestUser(TestCase):
    
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.cp =  TestClient(api)

    def test_get(self):
        response = self.cp.get("/users")
        # Assert that the response is correct
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200, response.content )

    def test_post(self):
        response = self.cp.post("/users", {'full_name' : 'Emmanuel ADEKPLOVI'})
        # Assert that the response is correct
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200,  response.content )

    ```
