Exceptions cannot be compared by ==. They can be compared using is but this
will fail if the exception is serialized/deserialized so this utility does its
best to assert equality using the type and args used to initialize the exception

Converts warnings to errors within this context to assert warnings are not raised, except for those specified in ignore_warnings.
Parameters:
prefect_test_harness <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/testing/utilities.py#L121" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>prefect_test_harness(server_startup_timeout: int | None = 30)
Temporarily run flows against a local SQLite database for testing.
Args:
server_startup_timeout: The maximum time to wait for the server to start.
Defaults to 30 seconds. If set to None, the value of
PREFECT_SERVER_EPHEMERAL_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS will be used.Examples:
from prefect import flow
from prefect.testing.utilities import prefect_test_harness
@flow
def my_flow():
return 'Done!'
with prefect_test_harness():
assert my_flow() == 'Done!' # run against temporary db
