# Testing Dependencies with Overrides

## Overriding dependencies during testing

There are some scenarios where you might want to override a dependency during testing.

You don't want the original dependency to run (nor any of the sub-dependencies it might have).

Or it might be the case that you just prefer to take other courses because they adapt better to your learning style.

### Suggest solutions

* After being able to understand the question, you can give them a possible **answer**.

* In many cases, it's better to understand their **underlying problem or use case**, because there might be a better way to solve it than what they are trying to do.

    }
    assertNull(
        "The array element immediately following the end of the collection should be nulled",
        array[getNumElements()]);
    // array[getNumElements() + 1] might or might not have been nulled
  }

  @CollectionFeature.Require(KNOWN_ORDER)
  public void testToArray_oversizedArray_ordered() {
    E[] array = getSubjectGenerator().createArray(getNumElements() + 2);

		t.Errorf("%s: Expected IsTruncated to be `false`, but instead found it to be `%v`", instanceType, result.IsTruncated)
	}

	uploadContent := "The specified multipart upload does not exist. The upload ID might be invalid, or the multipart upload might have been aborted or completed."
	var opts ObjectOptions
	// check before paging occurs.
	for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
		key := "obj" + strconv.Itoa(i)

All this might seem contrived. And it might not be very clear how is it useful yet.

These examples are intentionally simple, but show how it all works.

In the chapters about security, there are utility functions that are implemented in this same way.

* Select "Python"
* Run the debugger with the option "`Python: Current File (Integrated Terminal)`".

It will then start the server with your **FastAPI** code, stop at your breakpoints, etc.

Here's how it might look:

If you use Pycharm, you can:

* Open the "Run" menu.
* Select the option "Debug...".
* Then a context menu shows up.

* **Modify some DNS records**.
    * For this, the renewal program needs to support the APIs of the DNS provider, so, depending on the DNS provider you are using, this might or might not be an option.
* **Run as a server** (at least during the certificate acquisition process) on the public IP address associated with the domain.
    * As we said above, only one process can be listening on a specific IP and port.

### Disable Response Model

Continuing from the example above, you might not want to have the default data validation, documentation, filtering, etc. that is performed by FastAPI.

But you might want to still keep the return type annotation in the function to get the support from tools like editors and type checkers (e.g. mypy).

    features.add(CollectionFeature.SUBSET_VIEW);
    if (features.remove(CollectionFeature.ALLOWS_NULL_VALUES)) {
      // the null value might be out of bounds, so we can't always construct a subset with nulls
      features.add(CollectionFeature.ALLOWS_NULL_QUERIES);
      // but add null might still be supported if it happens to be within range of the subset
      suppressing.add(CollectionAddTester.getAddNullUnsupportedMethod());
