Hi @NathanUrwin! Thanks for the report! This is all really helpful. Would it be possible to provide a very small test and code example to duplicate this error?

Hey @stevematney 👋 Glad to help! For sure, check out the functional_tests.py. I'm farther along in the tutorial now where instead of calling python functional_tests.py the tests are ran through the Django test runner, i.e. python manage.py test functional_tests and everything is working great! 👌
