Django Throttle on Test Server

Question

I am working on a project and i am using django restframework throttle it works well when using the server either on local or production but when i tries testing the endpoint using testcase it returns an error

This is my configurations

the default rest framework setting

REST_FRAMEWORK = {

'DEFAULT_THROTTLE_CLASSES': [
    'rest_framework.throttling.AnonRateThrottle',
    'rest_framework.throttling.UserRateThrottle',
    'rest_framework.throttling.ScopedRateThrottle',
],
'DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES': {
   
    'anon': '100/min',
    'user': '200/min',
    # the throttle is the amount of time a user can access a route in a minute
    'authentication': '3/min',
    # used on route where the user is not logged in like requesting otp
    'monitor': '3/min',
},
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
    # currently setting the default authentication for django rest framework to jwt
    'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
),
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (

    'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly',
),
'DEFAULT_SCHEMA_CLASS': 'rest_framework.schemas.coreapi.AutoSchema',

}

The test case

def test_verify_and_check_if_profile_created(self):
    """
    This test if the user profile was created,
    and also it verify the user first
    :return:
    """
    #  checks if the user profile is not none
    self.assertIsNotNone(self.user.user_profile)
    #  request otp for the set-up user
    client = APIClient()
    client.credentials(HTTP_INSTASAW_SK_HEADER=config('INSTASAW_SK_HEADER'))
    request_otp_response = client.post('/api/v1/auth/verify_account/', {
        "email": self.user_email,
    })
    print(request_otp_response.json())

The error

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: No default throttle rate set for 'anon' scope

What is the error you are getting? 429 response? That is is being throttled? Current situation vs expected would be nice to share. "An error" is ambiguous — The Pjot, Aug 31 '22 at 12:50
You have a docstring in your dictionary. I wonder how that even works at all. — Klaus D., Aug 31 '22 at 13:00
You're correct @KlausD. that is indeed the problem. Tried it locally in my ipython, the key for `anon` is added to that docstring. Try using comments `#` instead. — The Pjot, Aug 31 '22 at 13:09
I have removed the string but it just doesnt work and i noticed the problem was coming from this client.credentials(HTTP_INSTASAW_SK_HEADER=config('INSTASAW_SK_HEADER')) because it seems after adding this it remove the headers needed for throttle for something elese — Codertjay, Aug 31 '22 at 13:10
No, that was not *the* problem. Your first problem was the multi-line string causing the ImproperlyConfigured. The 2nd problem might indeed be in the test itself. Can you update the question? — The Pjot, Aug 31 '22 at 13:13
When i tried printing the headers it provided this the credentials {'HTTP_INSTASAW_SK_HEADER': 'the heder secret '} so it erase the content type and other headers — Codertjay, Aug 31 '22 at 13:13
I just found out that on testserver in django using testcase is doenst returns all headers to i just bypass in the server is https://testserver/my/path/ — Codertjay, Sep 17 '22 at 13:37
