Let's look at how we can make that work.

## pytest.mark.anyio

If we want to call asynchronous functions in our tests, our test functions have to be asynchronous. AnyIO provides a neat plugin for this, that allows us to specify that some test functions are to be called asynchronously.

## HTTPX

Even if your **FastAPI** application uses normal `def` functions instead of `async def`, it is still an `async` application underneath.

     *         If all functions return null, the composite function returns null.
     *
     * @throws NullPointerException if the input collection is null or contains null elements.
     */
    static Function<String, String> chain(Collection<? extends Function<String, String>> functions) {
        return s -> {
            for (Function<String, String> function : functions) {
                String v = function.apply(s);

Let's first focus on the dependency.

It is just a function that can take all the same parameters that a *path operation function* can take:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

And it has the same shape and structure that all your *path operation functions* have.

You can think of it as a *path operation function* without the "decorator" (without the `@app.get("/some-path")`).

Maybe you need to start a new version, or you just got tired of running it. 🤷

### Lifespan function

The first thing to notice, is that we are defining an async function with `yield`. This is very similar to Dependencies with `yield`.

{* ../../docs_src/events/tutorial003.py hl[14:19] *}

The first part of the function, before the `yield`, will be executed **before** the application starts.

	// Below are the stacks ignored by the upstream leaktest code.
	"testing.Main(",
	"testing.tRunner(",
	"testing.tRunner(",
	"runtime.goexit",
	"created by runtime.gc",
	// ignore the snapshot function.
	// since the snapshot is taken here the entry will have the current function too.
