I try to learn and deploy sampel code for falcon tutorial in readthedocs.
in this section when testing app by pytest tests get 1 failed with this title:
E msgpack.exceptions.ExtraData: unpack(b) received extra data.
how to solve this problem?
pytest output:
tests/test_app.py F [100%]

}
response = client.simulate_get('/images')

app.py, images.py and test_app.py are exactly the code in the tutorial without any changes.
In the previous step they changed the response type to MessagePack. If you kept JSON as a response type, this may be your problem.
To solve replace
result_doc = msgpack.unpackb(response.content, raw=False)
by
result_doc = json.loads(response.content)
