Hi I’m trying the django example from: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/announcing-playwright-for-python-reliable-end-to-end-testing-for-the-web/

But I’m getting this error:

Thanks for reporting this @pinguin999. I was testing on Django 2.x while writing the blog post, and I suspect that you’re using Django 3. I’ll fix the post for 3.x.

@mxschmitt and I were trying this on Django 3, and he put together this sample project that requires the DJANGO_ALLOW_ASYNC_UNSAFE=1 environment variable to run the test without throwing this error.

Would it be possible for you to try with this env var? We would need to understand whether there are any side-effects.
