The CI has been failing due to a security vulnerability in one of the dependencies that fast API uses, called
Starlette
.Updating the version of fast API to the latest (0.115.5) increased the version of Starlette, patching the security vulnerability.
However, older versions of Starlette were more lenient and implicitly converted raw dictionaries to JSON strings for JSON fields. The newer version enforces stricter adherence to the type hints. This meant that a lot of endpoints were failing the tests as the application could no longer convert the default provided value to a JSON string.
The solution was to simply wrap the default
dict
in quotes, manually setting default values to a JSON-compatible string.
