             from datasette.app import Datasette
import pytest


@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_plugin_is_installed():
    datasette = Datasette(memory=True)
    response = await datasette.client.get(""/-/plugins.json"")
    assert response.status_code == 200 
             Creating a  Datasette()  instance like this as useful shortcut in tests, but there is one detail you need to be aware of. It's important to ensure that the async method  .invoke_startup()  is called on that instance. You can do that like this: 
             datasette = Datasette(memory=True)
await datasette.invoke_startup() 
             This method registers any  startup(datasette)  or  prepare_jinja2_environment(env, datasette)  plugins that might themselves need to make async calls. 
             If you are using  await datasette.client.get()  and similar methods then you don't need to worry about this - Datasette automatically calls  invoke_startup()  the first time it handles a request.","[""Testing plugins""]",[]
