Instead of spawning the app in a different process or thread, it calls the ASGI application directly within the same asyncio loop. This approach simplifies test writing and debugging by keeping everything in a single execution context.\n\nThe library is framework-agnostic, meaning it works with any ASGI-compliant framework without depending on framework-specific testing utilities. It supports cookies, multipart form data, redirects, response and request streams, and WebSocket connections. The package has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to add to a test suite.","worth_installing":"No, with caution. While the package is lightweight and permissively licensed, it has been abandoned with no releases since 2022-06-13. The ASGI ecosystem has evolved significantly since then, and there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance or compatibility with modern Python or framework versions. Use only if locked into an older codebase; for new projects, prefer actively maintained testing clients."},"id":"async-asgi-testclient","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/async-asgi-testclient","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/async-asgi-testclient.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/async-asgi-testclient/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-06-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"async-asgi-testclient","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Async client for testing ASGI web applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":288647,"position":8017,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.11"}
