About Multiple Selenium Test Cases

If you run multiple Selenium tests with Django under a fixed port, the next test might raise an error:

OSError: [Errno 48] Address already in use

The simplest way to overcome this error is to add a small delay in the tearDownClass() method:

import time
from django.test import LiveServerTestCase

class FrontendUXTests(LiveServerTestCase):
    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        super().tearDownClass()
        time.sleep(1)  # Add a 1-second delay after each test
