It reproduces issue reported in: revsys#205 `TestAPITestCaseDRFInstalled` only had tests for POST requests but the problem exposes itself on GET request.
Reproduced issue reported in comment: revsys#205 (comment)
- removed `TestAPITestCaseDRFInstalled.test_post_with_format_and_content_type` DRF doesn't allow passing both `format` and `content_type`. Removed test was promoting incorrect usage. - corrected `TestAPITestCaseDRFInstalled.test_post_with_content_type` According to DRF docs (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/#explicitly-encoding-the-request-body) using `content_type` requires explicitly encoding request body
`TestAPITestCaseDRFInstalled` tests make GET requests to this view.
DRF uses `multipart` by default for compatibility. https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/testing/#using-the-format-argument but for convenience it can be changed to json.
revsys#190 introduces a bug reported in: revsys#205 Also given that DRF already can handle serialization of json in post/put/patch/delete/options with `rest_framework.test.APIRequestFactory._encode_data` it's reasonable to assume `APITestCase.request` is redundant.

It's an attempt to fix bug reported in #205
It's been introduced in #190
I've looked into it.
Changes i've introduced:
formatandcontent_typeoptions were used incorrectly)APITestCase.requestas it's redundant. In APITest case should default to JSON #81 the solution should be to recommend users to set default format in tests. DRF docsAll changes are explained in commit messages.
All nox tests pass locally.
