# Pytest
Testing helpers for FastAPI applications with async client, database sessions, and parallel worker support.
## Installation
=== "uv"
``` bash
uv add "fastapi-toolsets[pytest]"
```
=== "pip"
``` bash
pip install "fastapi-toolsets[pytest]"
```
## Overview
The `pytest` module provides utilities for setting up async test clients, managing test database sessions, and supporting parallel test execution with `pytest-xdist`.
## Creating an async client
Use [`create_async_client`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.create_async_client) to get an `httpx.AsyncClient` configured for your FastAPI app:
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import create_async_client
@pytest.fixture
async def http_client(db_session):
async def _override_get_db():
yield db_session
async with create_async_client(
app=app,
base_url="http://127.0.0.1/api/v1",
dependency_overrides={get_db: _override_get_db},
) as c:
yield c
```
## Database sessions in tests
Use [`create_db_session`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.create_db_session) to create an isolated `AsyncSession` for a test:
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import create_db_session, create_worker_database
@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
async def worker_db_url():
async with create_worker_database(
database_url=str(settings.SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI)
) as url:
yield url
@pytest.fixture
async def db_session(worker_db_url):
async with create_db_session(
database_url=worker_db_url, base=Base, cleanup=True
) as session:
yield session
```
!!! info
In this example, the database is reset between each test using the argument `cleanup=True`.
## Parallel testing with pytest-xdist
The examples above are already compatible with parallel test execution with `pytest-xdist`.
## Cleaning up tables
If you want to manually clean up a database you can use [`cleanup_tables`](../reference/pytest.md#fastapi_toolsets.pytest.utils.cleanup_tables), this will truncates all tables between tests for fast isolation:
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.pytest import cleanup_tables
@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
async def clean(db_session):
yield
await cleanup_tables(session=db_session, base=Base)
```
