# Testing Events: lifespan and startup - shutdown { #testing-events-lifespan-and-startup-shutdown }

When you need `lifespan` to run in your tests, you can use the `TestClient` with a `with` statement:

{* ../../docs_src/app_testing/tutorial004.py hl[9:15,18,27:28,30:32,41:43] *}


You can read more details about the ["Running lifespan in tests in the official Starlette documentation site."](https://www.starlette.io/lifespan/#running-lifespan-in-tests)

For that, you can use the `WSGIMiddleware` and use it to wrap your WSGI application, for example, Flask, Django, etc.

## Using `WSGIMiddleware` { #using-wsgimiddleware }

You need to import `WSGIMiddleware`.

Then wrap the WSGI (e.g. Flask) app with the middleware.

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Java 21 or higher
- OpenSearch/Elasticsearch cluster (2.x+ recommended)
- Maven 3.8+ for building from source

### Installation

Add the dependency to your `pom.xml`:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codelibs.fess</groupId>
    <artifactId>fess-suggest</artifactId>
    <version>15.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
```

### Basic Usage

This means that, even though your API clients can only send strings as keys, as long as those strings contain pure integers, Pydantic will convert them and validate them.

And the `dict` you receive as `weights` will actually have `int` keys and `float` values.

With **FastAPI** you have the maximum flexibility provided by Pydantic models, while keeping your code simple, short and elegant.

    "price": 42.0,
    "tax": 3.2
}
```

## Recap { #recap }

You can add multiple body parameters to your *path operation function*, even though a request can only have a single body.

But **FastAPI** will handle it, give you the correct data in your function, and validate and document the correct schema in the *path operation*.

You can also declare singular values to be received as part of the body.

Taking data from:

* The path as parameters.
* Headers.
* Cookies.
* etc.

And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

## Details about the `Request` object { #details-about-the-request-object }

/// warning

Extra keys passed to `Field` will also be present in the resulting OpenAPI schema for your application.
As these keys may not necessarily be part of the OpenAPI specification, some OpenAPI tools, for example [the OpenAPI validator](https://validator.swagger.io/), may not work with your generated schema.
