TypeError: object Response can’t be used in ‘await’ expression

by

I am trying to execute this unit test. I would like to asynchronously await the GET as it takes a while to retrieve data. However, I am getting: TypeError: object Response can't be used in 'await' expression.

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_get_report(report_service, client, headers):
    """Test Report GET Response"""
    report_id = "sample-report-id"

    report_service.query_db.query_fetchone = mock.AsyncMock(
        return_value={
            "id": "sample-id",
            "reportId": "sample-report-id",
            "reportName": "sample-report-name",
            "report": [],
        }
    )
    response = await client.get(f"/v2/report/{report_id }", headers=headers)
    assert response.status_code == 200

If I remove the await, I will get this response {'detail': 'Not Found'}.

client.get is not an asynchronous function, that is why you are getting the error. I guess you are using FastAPI, that ‘.get’ function is synchronous. In your case i guess the following might work:

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_get_report(report_service, client, headers):
"""Test Report GET Response"""
report_id = "sample-report-id"

report_service.query_db.query_fetchone = mock.AsyncMock(
    return_value={
        "id": "sample-id",
        "reportId": "sample-report-id",
        "reportName": "sample-report-name",
        "report": [],
    }
)
async with client.get(f"/v2/report/{report_id}", headers=headers) as response:
    assert response.status == 200

Hope this works.
