Example Code

#dummy list for posts
my_posts=[{"title":"Post 1","content":"Content of Post 1","id":1 },
          {"title":"Post 2","content":"Content of Post 2","id":2 },
          {"title":"Post 3","content":"Content of Post 3","id":3 }  
         ]

#function to get the index of the post which I am looking to delete by matching the ID
def find_index_post(id):
    for i, p in enumerate(my_posts):
        if p['id']==id:
            return i

#delete request created using FastApi
@app.delete("/posts/{id}",status_code=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
def delete_post(id:int):
    index=find_index_post(id)
    if index==None:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND, detail=f"Post with Id {id} does not 
        exist!")
    
    my_posts.pop(index)
    return Response(status_code=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)

Description

I have started learning FastApi recently and have been following one youtube tutorial for lessons.

The issue i have been facing with this code is whenever I run delete_post request on Postman I get below error on uvicorn server:
"return Response(status_code=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
TypeError: Response.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'status_code'"
However, in the instructors video, this is working fine without any errors.

I searched and found few issues related to this on here which I tried to follow but couldn't get myself to resolve the error. I tried following few solutions as provided inside below ISSUE ID but to no avail-
" Response content longer than Content-Length error for DELETE and NoContent #4939"

The two prominent errors I am getting are:

  • "return Response(status_code=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
    TypeError: Response.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'status_code'
    ***This is the original code which i am following from the youtube lesson

  • raise RuntimeError("Response content longer than Content-Length")
    RuntimeError: Response content longer than Content-Length
    ***This is the error i am getting when I try to follow the solution provided in Issue id "4939".

Kindly assist, Thanks!
