Django unit test - response context is None

Hi,

We are using django 1.11 for our ecommerce site.

We are developing unit tests for our views using django testing framework. We are facing issue with a simple implementation:

import unittest

from django.urls import reverse

from django.test import Client

class ViewTests(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        self.client = Client()

    def test_View(self):

        url = '/some-url/'

        

        response = self.client.get(url)

        products = response.context['products']

In the above test case, response.context is coming out to be None and hence, response.context['products'] is throwing exception. Whereas when I run the same on django admin shell, response.context has context object dict. 

I am quite confused why this is happening. I couldn't find any reason in the django documents.

Would really appreciate if someone could help me with the above.  

Thanks,
