## 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

    assert response.json() == {"detail": "Item not found"}


def test_no_body_status_code_exception_handlers():
    response = client.get("/http-no-body-statuscode-exception")
    assert response.status_code == 204
    assert not response.content


def test_no_body_status_code_with_detail_exception_handlers():
    response = client.get("/http-no-body-statuscode-with-detail-exception")
    assert response.status_code == 204

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.

from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from fastapi.exception_handlers import (
    http_exception_handler,
    request_validation_exception_handler,
)
from fastapi.exceptions import RequestValidationError
from starlette.exceptions import HTTPException as StarletteHTTPException

@app.exception_handler(StarletteHTTPException)
async def custom_http_exception_handler(request, exc):
    print(f"OMG! An HTTP error!: {repr(exc)}")

def test_depend_err_handler():
    """
    Verify that it is possible to write custom WebSocket middleware to catch errors
    """

    async def custom_handler(websocket: WebSocket, exc: CustomError) -> None:
        await websocket.close(1002, "foo")

    myapp = make_app(exception_handlers={CustomError: custom_handler})
    client = TestClient(myapp)

# 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!}

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!}
```
