• New: Testing startup and shutdown events.

  When you need your event handlers (startup and shutdown) to run in your tests, you can use the TestClient with a with statement:

  import pytest
  from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
  from api.main import api
  
  @pytest.fixture
  def client():
      with TestClient(api) as client:
          yield client
  
  def test_endpoint(client):
      response = client.get("/endpoint")
  
      assert response.status_code == 200
