Testing Events: startup - shutdown¶
When you need your event handlers (startup and shutdown) to run in your tests, you can use the TestClient with a with statement:
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
app = FastAPI()
items = {}
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup_event():
items["foo"] = {"name": "Fighters"}
items["bar"] = {"name": "Tenders"}
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_items(item_id: str):
return items[item_id]
def test_read_items():
with TestClient(app) as client:
response = client.get("/items/foo")
assert response.status_code == 200
assert response.json() == {"name": "Fighters"}
