Does the test client execute javascript as well ? I can't remember.

Yep. The test client
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/testing/tools/#the-test-client>...
if your template uses request related information (like logged in
user). The cheaper method is something like this code
<https://github.com/melvyn-sopacua/django_xtc/blob/master/xtc/__init__.py#L49>,
but this only renders the template and you'd have to provide a
context so view code is bypassed.
