# Testing Events: startup - shutdown

When you need your event handlers (`startup` and `shutdown`) to run in your tests, you can use the `TestClient` with a `with` statement:

```Python hl_lines="9-12  20-24"
{!../../../docs_src/app_testing/tutorial003.py!}

app = SomeASGIApp()

new_app = UnicornMiddleware(app, some_config="rainbow")
```

But FastAPI (actually Starlette) provides a simpler way to do it that makes sure that the internal middlewares to handle server errors and custom exception handlers work properly.

For that, you use `app.add_middleware()` (as in the example for CORS).

```Python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from unicorn import UnicornMiddleware

app = FastAPI()

## Override the default exception handlers

**FastAPI** has some default exception handlers.

These handlers are in charge of returning the default JSON responses when you `raise` an `HTTPException` and when the request has invalid data.

You can override these exception handlers with your own.

### Override request validation exceptions

{!../../../docs_src/events/tutorial001.py!}
```

In this case, the `startup` event handler function will initialize the items "database" (just a `dict`) with some values.

You can add more than one event handler function.

And your application won't start receiving requests until all the `startup` event handlers have completed.

### `shutdown` event

假设要触发的自定义异常叫作 `UnicornException`。

且需要 FastAPI 实现全局处理该异常。

此时，可以用 `@app.exception_handler()` 添加自定义异常控制器：

```Python hl_lines="5-7  13-18  24"
{!../../../docs_src/handling_errors/tutorial003.py!}

```

请求 `/unicorns/yolo` 时，路径操作会触发 `UnicornException`。

但该异常将会被 `unicorn_exception_handler` 处理。

接收到的错误信息清晰明了，HTTP 状态码为 `418`，JSON 内容如下：

```JSON

    opt raise
        dep -->> handler: Raise HTTPException
        handler -->> client: HTTP error response
        dep -->> dep: Raise other exception
    end
    dep ->> operation: Run dependency, e.g. DB session
    opt raise
        operation -->> dep: Raise HTTPException
        dep -->> handler: Auto forward exception
        handler -->> client: HTTP error response

This was changed in version 0.110.0 to fix unhandled memory consumption from forwarded exceptions without a handler (internal server errors), and to make it consistent with the behavior of regular Python code.

So, you will be able to see it all in the interactive API docs.

## Connect and disconnect

* Create your `FastAPI` application.
* Create event handlers to connect and disconnect from the database.

```Python hl_lines="42  45-47  50-52"
{!../../../docs_src/async_sql_databases/tutorial001.py!}
```

## Read notes

Create the *path operation function* to read notes:

そして、この例外をFastAPIでグローバルに処理したいと思います。

カスタム例外ハンドラを`@app.exception_handler()`で追加することができます:

```Python hl_lines="5 6 7  13 14 15 16 17 18  24"
{!../../../docs_src/handling_errors/tutorial003.py!}
```

ここで、`/unicorns/yolo`をリクエストすると、*path operation*は`UnicornException`を`raise`します。

しかし、これは`unicorn_exception_handler`で処理されます。

そのため、HTTPステータスコードが`418`で、JSONの内容が以下のような明確なエラーを受け取ることになります:
