Summary

Sometimes, it would be nice to initialize multiple Testclients, but only do the blocking portal magic once. The request routing magic lives in TestClient(Transport) so simply copying the base_url to a httpx.Client won't work (found out by trying).

An example where this could be needed is when testing the API from the perspective of 2 different users. Using just one client might not be feasible due to cookies that server could set (should be different for the two users) and in general it would be nice to have the two separated.

client = TestClient(app=app)
client.get(..., auth=user1_auth)  # requires also...
client.get(..., auth=user2_auth)  # ...this repetition

Basic Example

Maybe something like:

with create_portal(app) as portal:
    user1 = TestClient(portal=portal, auth=...)
    user2 = TestClient(portal=portal, auth=...)
    user1.get(...)
    user2.get(...)
