Background Tasks + Templates Best Practice

[sgamble1-wowcorp]

Similarly to the question raised re StreamingResponse + Templates Best Practice #2868

I am trying to add a background task while using TemplateResponse.

According to the docs for Background Tasks, A Background Tasks will run only once the response has been sent. Docs here: https://www.starlette.io/background/ This works with JSONResponse(message, background=task) as per the example, but doesn't seem to with TemplateResponse.

I checked the Responses docs and there is no mention of background=at all for any Responses. Docs here: https://www.starlette.io/responses/

Is there any documentation at all surrounding background= and what options are available for TemplateResponse?

Ideally, I'd love to know if I'm doing something wrong with TemplateResponse that is causing both Background Tasks and StreamingResponse to not work. Or if it's a limitation of TemplateResponse.

The answer was to not use starlette.

Just create a separate python docker container to get background tasks done.
