+## Django unit tests
+
+The Python extension also offers support for discovering and running Django unit tests! You can get your Django tests discovered with only a few additional setup steps:
+
+
+1. Set `"python.testing.unittestEnabled": true,` in your `settings.json` [file](/docs/getstarted/settings.md#settingsjson).
+2. Add `MANAGE_PY_PATH` as an environment variable:
+    1. Create a `.env` file at the root of your project.
+    2. Add `MANAGE_PY_PATH='<path-to-manage.py>'` to the `.env` file, replacing `<path-to-manage.py>` with the path to your application's `manage.py` file.
+        > **Tip**: you can copy the path by right clicking on the file in the Explorer view and selecting **Copy Path**.
+3. Add Django test arguments to `"python.testing.unittestArgs": []` in the `settings.json` [file](/docs/getstarted/settings.md#settingsjson) as needed, and remove any arguments that are not compatible with Django.
+
+> **Note**: By default, the Python extension looks for and loads `.env` files at the project root. If your `.env` file is not at the project root or you are using [VS Code variable substitution](/docs/editor/variables-reference.md), add `"python.envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/<path-to-.env>"` to your `settings.json` [file](/docs/getstarted/settings.md#settingsjson). This enables the Python extension to load the environment variables from this file when running and discovering tests. Get more info about [Python environment variables](/docs/python/environments.md#_environment-variables).
+
+Navigate to the Testing view, and select the **Refresh Tests** button to have your Django tests displayed!
+
+### Troubleshooting
+If your Django unit tests are not showing in the Testing view, try the following troubleshooting steps:
+
+- Search for error messages in the **Python** Output panel. They might provide a hint as to why your tests are not being discovered.
+- Try to [run the Django tests in the terminal](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/overview/#running-tests). Then "translate" the same command into VS Code settings.
+    For example, if you run `python manage.py test --arg` in the terminal, you would add `MANAGE_PY_PATH='./manage.py'` to a `.env` file, and set `"python.testing.unittestArgs": [--arg]` in the VS Code settings.
+
+    Alternatively, you can also find the commands that are run by the Python extension in the **Python** Output panel.
+- Use the absolute path to the `manage.py` file when setting the `MANAGE_PY_PATH` environment variable, if you initially used the relative path.
