Django testt: AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'

The test:
1) login with a user
2) favourite a post

class FormTest(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):

        self.user = ProjectUser.objects.create(username='testUser',
                                               email='[email protected]')
        self.user.set_password('testPassword')
        self.user.save()
        self.client = Client()
        self.factory = RequestFactory()


def sometest(self):

        self.client.login(username='testUser', password='testPassword')  
        user = auth.get_user(self.client)  
        assert user.is_authenticated 

        new_object_2 = SampleModel.objects.create(unique_id='123456', name='sample')

        request = self.factory.post(reverse('page1:favourite_post', kwargs={'fav_id': new_object_2.id}))
        response = favourite_post(request, new_object_2.id)
        print(response)

My url file is 

path('favourite_post/<int:fav_id>', views.favourite_post, name='favourite_post'),

The views.py is 

def favourite_post(request, fav_id):
    post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=fav_id)

    if request.method == 'POST':
        if post.favourite.filter(id=request.user.id).exists():
            post.favourite.remove(request.user)


        else:
            post.favourite.add(request.user)

    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('page:some_page', args=(fav_id,)))

The error I get is

AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'

Don't use factory for this, that's for testing views specifically without middleware. You need to use the client, which you already used to log in.

request = self.client.post(reverse('page1:favourite_post'...))

Note, you don't need to create the client in the setUp method, that is done automatically.
