How to test api.exception_handler

[cosgus]

I have api.exception handlers to return a particular payload when that error is raised. Works great but I cant figure out how to handle the tests. Here is a condensed version of my code:

api.py

api_v1 = NinjaAPI()
router = Router()

# I have also tried this with api_v1.get
@router.get("/endpoint1")
def get_endpoint(request):
    data = thing.do()  #This is where the exception would get raised
    return api_v1.create_response(request=request, data=response_data, status=200)

@api.exception_handler(CustomException)
def crawler_locked_handler(request, exc):
    data = {"error": "FATAL ERROR", "message": exc.error}
    return api_v1.create_response(request=request, data=data, status=500)

api_v1.add_router("",router)

and here is my test. If I instatiate the Ninja TestClient with api_v1.router, the CustomError gets raised but the exception handler does not catch it. TestClient(api_v1) raises a ninja ConfigError. Django.test Client() works as expected.

from api import router, api_v1
from ninja.testing import TestClient
from django.test import Client

class ThingPatch:

    def raise_custom_error(cls):
        raise CustomError


class TestApiEndpoints(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.ninja_client = TestClient(router) # Raises CustomError but does not catch in exception handler
        # self.ninja_client = TestClient(api_v1) # Raises ConfigError copied below
        self.django_client = Client() # Works as expected

    @patch('thing.do', ThingPatch.raise_custom_error)
    def test_custom_error_request(self):
        response = self.ninja_client.get(f'/endpoint1', content_type="application/json")
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 500)

ConfigError:

ninja.errors.ConfigError: Looks like you created multiple NinjaAPIs or TestClients
To let ninja distinguish them you need to set either unique version or urls_namespace
 - NinjaAPI(..., version='2.0.0')
 - NinjaAPI(..., urls_namespace='otherapi')
Already registered: ['api-1.0.0']
