I’m creating as well as running an automated test for Profile Page API endpoint using the DRF extension APITestCase.
I already created/ran two separate automated tests for the login/registration API endpoints with no errors in the console. I was trying to set up the test for this API similar to the other two tests.
But when I run python manage.py test again for the HomeownerProfileAPITest in test_profile.py, I get the following error
I’m not sure if I did something wrong in my views, tests. But here are some important files that might make this clearer:

As you can see, it's throwing a status error message. I added the code for the 200 status like I did with the other tests
You don't have to pass "user_id" into HomeownerProfileTest.test_profile, Just set it up in "setUp", "setUpTestData", or inside "test_profile"
class HomeownerProfileTest(APITestCase):
def setUp(self):
# you can set user_id here for multiple testcase if needed
self.user = User.objects.create_user(username='test_homeowner', password='password321')
def test_profile(self):
client = Client()
client.login(username='test_homeowner', password='password321')
response = client.get(f'api/users/{self.user.id}/profile/')
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
