Pytest boosts test case for .raise_for_status () requests

Question

I recently started using pytest and more recently I started using mock to mock the requests library . I made requests. The response object is good, and for status code 200 it works fine. What I'm trying to do here is to use the raise_for_status () function to check if the speed limit is exceeded and to verify that it handles the exception with pytest.

I am using the Mock side_effect parameter, which seems to throw an exception that I hope for, but pytest doesn't seem to recognize this as an event and fails the test.

Any thoughts? I'm sure this is something obvious, I miss you!

The code I have for the class is:

class APIClient:
    def get_records(self, url):
        try:
            r = requests.get(url)
            r.raise_for_status()
            return r.json()
        except requests.HTTPError as e:
            print("Handling the exception")

In the testing class, I have:

@pytest.fixture
def http_error_response(rate_limit_json):
    mock_response = mock.Mock()
    mock_response.json.return_value = rate_limit_json
    mock_response.status_code = 429

    mock_response.raise_for_status.side_effect = requests.exceptions.HTTPError

    return mock_response


class TestRecovery(object):

    @mock.patch('requests.get')
    def test_throws_exception_for_rate_limit_error\
    (self, mock_get, api_query_object, http_error_response):

        mock_get.return_value = http_error_response
        print(http_error_response.raise_for_status.side_effect)

        url = api_query_object.get_next_url()

        with pytest.raises(requests.exceptions.HTTPError):
            api_query_object.get_records(url)

, :

    with pytest.raises(requests.exceptions.HTTPError):
>           api_query_object.get_records(url)
E           Failed: DID NOT RAISE
