Example Code

This is the output of this test:

poetry run pytest -xsk task1

async_client = <httpx.AsyncClient object at 0x1076cb190>

    @pytest.mark.asyncio
    async def test_task1(async_client):
        response = await async_client.get("/task1/greet/Jasmin")
        assert response.status_code == 200
        assert response.json() == "Hallo Jasmin, ich bin Emilia."
    
        response = await async_client.get("/task1/greet/Stefan", params={"language": "en"})
        assert response.status_code == 200
>       assert response.json() == "Hello Stefan, I am Emilia."
E       AssertionError: assert 'Hallo Stefan...h bin Emilia.' == 'Hello Stefan, I am Emilia.'
E         - Hello Stefan, I am Emilia.
E         ?  ^            ^^^^
E         + Hallo Stefan, ich bin Emilia.
E         ?  ^            ^^^^^^^

test_emilia.py:22: AssertionError

I am supposed to edit this code:

@app.get("/task1/greet/{name}", tags=["Task 1"], summary="👋🇩🇪🇬🇧🇪🇸")
async def task1_greet(name: str) -> str:
    """Greet somebody in German, English or Spanish!"""
    
    return f"Hallo {name}, ich bin Emilia."

I don’t understand how to reference the “params={“language”:”en”}” in the test above. Assuming it’s being sent by the method “async_client.get()”,how do I pick that up in the method “task1_greet”?

Do I make a method argument like **kwargs, perhaps?

Thanks very much

Description

I need to write code that returns text depending on the language passed in “params”, and I don’t know how to reference “params” because I don’t understand how async_client.get corresponds to async def task1_greet.

I will explore kwargs but I’d still like to understand better how these two methods interact with each other.

Thank you

@peterelbert , take a look at this line of AlrasheedA’s code:

async def task1_greet(name: str, language: str = None) -> str:

str gets the default value of None, making it optional, in case the language parameter isn’t set.

@peterelbert Please close the issue if it worked.
