Description

How can I use pydanic BaseModel json method to generate json data for my test request?

Additional context

For example I have a endpoint that accepts a Action(BaseModel) and for testing it I want to create a object of Action and use .json then pass it to client.post(json=action.json).

        request = DoActionRequest(
            game_id=self.game.id,
            action=Action(
                action_type=Action.ActionType.CAPTAIN_CALL_FOR_AN_ATTACK
            ),
            payload=None
        )
        headers = auth_header_generator(self.game.get_fd_caption())
        response = self.client.post(
            self.url, json=request.json(), headers=headers
        )

This gives me 422 http status code. but when I use the value of request.json() like {"game_id": "1", "action": {"action_type": "call for an attack", "action_data": null}, "payload": null} It works fine.
