What problem does it solve?

This skill guides AI agents on how to effectively test Django Cotton components using pytest fixtures provided by django-cotton-bs5, streamlining test-writing and ensuring reliable UI component tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Clear fixture usage guidance (cotton_render, cotton_render_soup, cotton_render_string, cotton_render_string_soup)
• Testing patterns for single and multi-component scenarios
• DOM assertions, context handling, and accessibility checks
• Real-world examples and best practices for creating maintainable tests

Quick Start

Install and configure pytest, Django, and django-cotton-bs5 fixtures in your project, then write tests like:

• Use cotton_render to render a single component, e.g., cotton_render('cotton_bs5.button', text='Click') and assert HTML.
• Switch to cotton_render_soup when you need DOM traversal.
• For inline markup, use cotton_render_string.
• For complex structures, use cotton_render_string_soup.
