-# NOTE: What test client to use for fastapi-based apps?
-#
-# fastapi comes with a default test client: fatapi.testclient.TestClient (SEE https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/testing/)
-# which is essentially an indirection to starlette.testclient (SEE https://www.starlette.io/testclient/)
-#
-# the limitation of that client is that it is fd synchronous.
-#
-# There are two options in place:
-# a) fastapi recommends to use httpx and create your own AsyncTestClient: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/async-tests/
-#   PROS: can use respx to mock responses, used to httpx API
-#   CONS: do it yourself, does not include app member out-of-the-box
-# b) use generic Async ASGI TestClient library:  https://github.com/vinissimus/async-asgi-testclient
-#   PROS: generic closed solution, has 'app' member , requests-like API (i.e. equivalent to starletter TESTClient)
-#   CONS: basically does not have the PROS from a), adds extra deps to 'requests' lib.
