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.

   * Note: The time at which a [call][Call] is considered idle is different depending on whether it
   * was run [asynchronously][Call.enqueue] or [synchronously][Call.execute]. Asynchronous calls
   * become idle after the [onResponse][Callback.onResponse] or [onFailure][Callback.onFailure]
   * callback has returned. Synchronous calls become idle once [execute()][Call.execute] returns.

 * All event methods must execute fast, without external locking, cannot throw exceptions,
 * attempt to mutate the event parameters, or be reentrant back into the client.
 * Any IO - writing to files or network should be done asynchronously.
