Hi,

in the lower section where views are tested users are created in the code like this:
    def setUp(self):
        #Create two users
        test_user1 = User.objects.create_user(username='testuser1', password='12345') 
        test_user1.save()
        test_user2 = User.objects.create_user(username='testuser2', password='12345') 
        test_user2.save()
        
When using self.client.login with the credentials above, it will fail. After googleing around this is because in the create_user method the password hash is set to 12345.
Using 
test_user1.set_password('12345') after creating the object and before saving will fix this.

Kind regards
