Correct usage of assertQuerysetEqual

[rc65]

Hey, thanks for your work on this repo. It's been very helpful!

I have a question about the best way to use assertQuerysetEqual in tests. I am following the Django tutorial here. It seems from the tutorial that I should be able to call assertQuerysetEqual with something of type List[Question], however this is not supported by django-types.

I have looked at the type stub and it seems to only allow lists with certain primitives or Queryset[Any]. Below is the stub I'm talking about:

    def assertQuerysetEqual(
        self,
        qs: Union[Iterator[Any], List[Model], QuerySet[Any], RawQuerySet[Any]],
        values: Union[
            List[None],
            List[Tuple[str, str]],
            List[date],
            List[int],
            List[str],
            Set[str],
            QuerySet[Any],
        ],
        transform: Union[Callable[..., Any], Type[str]] = ...,
        ordered: bool = ...,
        msg: Optional[str] = ...,
    ) -> None: ...

So, finally, my question is, what's the best way to use this function? In my test I've resorted to getting a Queryset[Question] object by doing the following:

    def test_past_question(self):
        """
        Questions with a pub_date in the past are displayed on the
        index page.
        """
        question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse("polls:index"))
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(
            response.context["latest_question_list"],
            Question.objects.filter(pk=question.id),
        )

but it would be nicer just to use a list containing the question object like they do in the tutorial, like this:

    def test_past_question(self):
        """
        Questions with a pub_date in the past are displayed on the
        index page.
        """
        question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
        response = self.client.get(reverse("polls:index"))
        self.assertQuerysetEqual(response.context["latest_question_list"], [question])

Am I using this the wrong way, or could a List[Any] type be added to the stub?

Many thanks,
Ross

truth be told, I've never seen / used assertQuerysetEqual before so my guess is the type stub is probably wrong and should be less strict

especially since it's used only testing so if it explodes at runtime, no big deal since it just fails the test

I think your fix would work!
