I have a list of dicts:
MY_LIST = [ { 'key1': {'a': 1, 'b':2 } }, { 'key2': {'a': 1, 'b':2 } } ]
How do I pass the dict to a django unit test using parameterized? E.g.
@parameterized.expand(MY_LIST): def test_mytest(self, dict_item): print(dict_item.items())
Results in AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'items'
because the dict is being converted to a string.

As stated in the docs:
The @parameterized and @parameterized.expand decorators accept a list or iterable of tuples or param(...), or a callable which returns a list or iterable
So I would try to convert MY_LIST
to:
MY_LIST = [ ({ 'key1': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}},), ({ 'key2': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}},), ]
Which makes it a list of tuples that contain a single parameter to apply to the method you are testing.
