Use when working with test_*.py, conftest.py, litestar.testing, TestClient, AsyncTestClient, create_test_client, create_async_test_client, anyio, Guard mocks, or DI overrides. Not for generic pytest.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# litestar-testing

Litestar-specific testing patterns built on pytest + anyio. Covers:

- `TestClient` vs `AsyncTestClient` — constructor options, lifespan, and when to use each
- `create_test_client` and `create_async_test_client` — inline app factories for isolated handler/controller tests
- `@pytest.mark.anyio` setup and `pytest-asyncio` coexistence rules
- App + lifespan fixtures (`on_startup` / `on_shutdown` / `lifespan`)
- Mocking Guards and overriding DI dependencies (native `Provide` and Dishka `Provider`)
- Session testing with `set_session_data` and `get_session_data`
- WebSocket testing with `websocket_connect` and `WebSocketTestSession`
- Unit-testing Guards and dependencies with `RequestFactory`
- Live server subprocess testing with `subprocess_async_client` and `subprocess_sync_client`
- Integration with `pytest-databases` (see `../pytest-databases/SKILL.md`) and `polyfactory` (see `../polyfactory/SKILL.md`)
- Autowire discovery and cache isolation (see `../litestar-autowire/references/testing.md`)

For JS-side testing (Vitest, Testing Library, Playwright), use the upstream Vitest docs and Litestar's own JS examples. Out of scope here.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add litestar-org/litestar-skills/litestar-testing@sha256:a4f2f9730a61559f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.3c5d082, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
