Subject: [PATCH] DRF 3.7.4 changed how you delegate to another view, so don't

The error in the test was:
```
AssertionError: The `request` argument must be an instance of `django.http.HttpRequest`, not `rest_framework.request.Request`.
```
The (controversial) incompatible change was in 3.7.4: https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/5618

I'll look into whether there's another way to address it.

  <summary>Full error report</summary>
