Selenium test failed with RuntimeError: Database access not allowed, use the "django_db" mark, or the "db" or "transactional_db" fixtures to enable it

I'm running tests with selenium and i want to test the admin panel in django

so i made the below tests

import pytest
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

#create pytest database with admin credintials
@pytest.mark.selenium
def test_create_admin_user(create_admin_user):
    assert create_admin_user.__str__() == "admin"

@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_dashboard_admin_login(live_server, create_admin_user,  firefox_browser_instance):
    browser = firefox_browser_instance

    browser.get(("%s%s" % (live_server.url, "/admin/login")))
    username = browser.find_element(By.NAME, 'username')
    password = browser.find_element(By.NAME, 'password')
    submit = browser.find_element(By.XPATH, '//input[@value = "Log in"]')

    username.send_keys("admin")
    password.send_keys("admin")
    submit.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

    assert "Site administration" in browser.page_source

fixtures:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def create_admin_user(django_user_model):
    """
    Return admin user
    """

    return django_user_model.objects.create_superuser("admin", "admin@admin.com", "admin")

confest:

pytest_plugins = [
    "core.test_setup.fixtures",
    "core.test_setup.selenium",

]

when i run the tests it appears that 1 passed, 1 failed

the one passed is test_create_admin_user

and the one failed is def test_dashboard_admin_login

Error:

RuntimeError: Database access not allowed, use the "django_db" mark, or the "db" or "transactional_db" fixtures to enable it.
