🔒 fastapi-limiter

[hazy pumice]

I am trying to implement rate limiter for my FastAPI project, but the dependencies make it hard for me to mock the limiter so my tests that I have already written do not fail. I simply want to mock the limiter for tests so the tests do not care about a limiter being there. As you can see in the code, I used fastapi-limiter 0.2.0. So my question is if there is someone that has dealt with similar issue and has an answer.

I haven't ever tried to mock a ratelimiter with pytest/fastapi, so take this with a grain of salt: I would suggest writing a test that actually starts and calls the service to test the rate limiter that way.

I am not sure if we understand each other, I will eventually add test for my limiter, but now I want my older tests to work (they send more requests than I want and the limiter catches it) so I need to mock the limiter, I guess. I am not sure either. I tried multiple approaches, but because of the order of the packages that are being loaded the fastapi has reference to the limiter instance before I even mock the method that returns the limiter to the fastapi.

oh, I see. Yeah I'll have to think about that
