If you're checking these errors, it's good to take into account i18n.
In this case, instead of checking for "Superuser must have is_staff=True.", test for _("Superuser must have is_staff=True."), where _ is from django.utils.translation import gettext as _.

Ruff is going to complain on unused imports, so remove what you didn't make use of.
In the backend/ folder, run ruff check . and it will tell you what issues you have.

Black is going to complain regarding formatting on this file but also tests.py.
To check it on your own system, either run black ./ --check in the backend/ folder, or black ./backend --check in the root.
You can also run it without the --check flag, but beware that if you're not targeting a folder in the root of which you have a pyproject.toml, it will not apply the correct rules and might end up trying to over-format code.
Here's a sample of the differences with a lot of lines redacted for readability
❯ black ./backend --check
would reformat ~/redirectioneaza/backend/redirectioneaza/settings/database.py
Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
1 file would be reformatted, 141 files would be left unchanged.
❯ black ./ --check
would reformat ~/redirectioneaza/backend/donations/common/models_hashing.py
[...] — 91 more lines
would reformat ~/redirectioneaza/backend/users/models.py
Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
93 files would be reformatted, 108 files would be left unchanged.

This PR introduces a suite of unit tests for the User model (and its custom manager) in the users app, and updates the database settings so that tests run against a dedicated test database instead of the production/Postgres host. These changes improve confidence in user‑related functionality and ensure an isolated environment for running tests.
What’s been changed
users/tests.py
Added tests for
CustomUserManager.create_user andcreate_superuser, including invalid‑flag error cases.Covered token lifecycle methods (
refresh_token,verify_token,clear_token).Verified activate/deactivate behavior.
Tested
create_admin_login_url URL generation.Exercised group‑based properties (
is_admin,is_ngo_admin,is_ngo_member) against all relevant roles.redirectioneaza/settings/database.py
Imported sys and detect "test" in sys.argv.
When running tests, override
DATABASES['default']to point at a localredirectioneaza_testdatabase (hosted on localhost) to avoid conflicts with production data.How to verify
createdb redirectioneaza_test).python manage.py test usersand confirm all 8 tests pass.This lays the groundwork for broader test coverage across the project and ensures our CI/test runs are safe and repeatable.
