the test case

@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_auth_view(client, django_user_model):
    user = django_user_model.objects.create_user(
        "test", "test1234", is_staff=True, is_superuser=True
    )
    client.force_login(user)
    url = reverse("admin:auth_user_add")
    resp = client.post(
        url,
        data={"username": "test2", "password1": "1qaz@WSX3edc", "password2": "1qaz@WSX3edc"},
        follow=True,
    )
    assert resp.status_code == 200
    assert User.objects.filter(username="test2").exists()

---

It seems like the connection is close by some one, probably client, before the function is over. the test case can pass if I use the @pytest.mark.django_db(transaction=True) marker. But I don't know the reason.
