Upon trying to test a CreateAPIView, I'm getting the following error for which I'm not sure how to resolve. I have explicitly defined my parsers and renderers as well in my settings. I'm not sure what property the error is referring to?
{'detail': 'JSON parse error - Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1)'}

self.assertEqual(http_response.status_code, 400)
