# httpx.AsyncClient Mocking with AsyncMock

Stop async HTTP mocks from blowing up the moment they are awaited

## What this does

Your Python test fakes out an HTTP client, and the moment the test awaits the fake call it throws a TypeError. This covers the reason: async methods like post and get need the async flavour of mock, not the ordinary one. Reach for it when mocking an async HTTP client in Pytest.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Mock an async HTTP client in a Pytest test
- Fix a TypeError raised when a mocked call is awaited

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About httpx.AsyncClient Mocking with AsyncMock

When you mask an async HTTP client with the standard Python mocking library inside Pytest, the ordinary mock object is not enough for methods like post and get. Awaiting them raises a TypeError.

This covers using the async mock instead, so mocked async calls behave when the test awaits them.

## Questions

### Is httpx.AsyncClient Mocking with AsyncMock safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of httpx.AsyncClient Mocking with AsyncMock and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fb7dee8824d5, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/pytest-asyncio-httpx-mocking.

### How do I install httpx.AsyncClient Mocking with AsyncMock?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/pytest-asyncio-httpx-mocking on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Project-N-E-K-O/N.E.K.O/tree/fb7dee8824d52c8ebf76c04b4c821c23080f5c95/.agent/skills/pytest-asyncio-httpx-mocking.
