```python
from fastapi import WebSocket
```

!!! tip
    When you want to define dependencies that should be compatible with both HTTP and WebSockets, you can define a parameter that takes an `HTTPConnection` instead of a `Request` or a `WebSocket`.

::: fastapi.WebSocket
    options:
        members:
            - scope
            - app
            - url
            - base_url
            - headers

If you are using a Python version below 3.10, here's a tip from my very **subjective** point of view:

* 🚨 Avoid using `Optional[SomeType]`
* Instead ✨ **use `Union[SomeType, None]`** ✨.

        pattern: Optional[str] = None,
        regex: Annotated[
            Optional[str],
            deprecated(
                "Deprecated in FastAPI 0.100.0 and Pydantic v2, use `pattern` instead."
            ),
        ] = None,
        discriminator: Union[str, None] = None,
        strict: Union[bool, None] = _Unset,
        multiple_of: Union[float, None] = _Unset,

!!! warning
    You can declare multiple `File` and `Form` parameters in a *path operation*, but you can't also declare `Body` fields that you expect to receive as JSON, as the request will have the body encoded using `multipart/form-data` instead of `application/json`.

    This is not a limitation of **FastAPI**, it's part of the HTTP protocol.

## Recap

## 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).

Instead, you want to provide a different dependency that will be used only during tests (possibly only some specific tests), and will provide a value that can be used where the value of the original dependency was used.

                automatically cancel the request and send the client an error.

                If `auto_error` is set to `False`, when the query parameter is not
                available, instead of erroring out, the dependency result will be
                `None`.

                This is useful when you want to have optional authentication.

## Test the app

Then we can just test the app as normally.

```Python hl_lines="32-47"
{!../../../docs_src/sql_databases/sql_app/tests/test_sql_app.py!}
```

        Doc(
            """
            RegEx pattern for strings.
            """
        ),
        deprecated(
            "Deprecated in FastAPI 0.100.0 and Pydantic v2, use `pattern` instead."
        ),
    ] = None,
    discriminator: Annotated[
        Union[str, None],
        Doc(
            """
            Parameter field name for discriminating the type in a tagged union.

    for an OAuth2 password flow.

    The OAuth2 specification dictates that for a password flow the data should be
    collected using form data (instead of JSON) and that it should have the specific
    fields `username` and `password`.

    All the initialization parameters are extracted from the request.
