I switched from neovim where I could run tests for any language based
on filetype. I do understand that in emacs  there are “modes” and it
is not simple to achieve such functionality. However, do you know
plugin to handle at least Django tests?

Projectile.

As far as I know, projectile can run all tests. I’m interested in
running specific files or units only

You can also spin up a shell like `eshell` or `vterm` and run the unit
tests with pattern matching. If you use unittest, [see the docs
here](https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#cmdoption-
unittest-k).

You will find some modes (packages) on Melpa. I have used this one
https://github.com/unrelentingtech/django-mode/ a bit in the past, but
finally worked more in the terminal. That one
https://github.com/davidmiller/pony-mode/ looks more developped. You
can

    Run test case at point in buffer [C-c C-p t]
    Run tests for current app in buffer [C-c C-p t]

test runners.

Thank you for the link on emacs wiki, that is exactly what I was
looking for
