try:
    
    url = 'https://api.example.com/range/' + query_str
    response = requests.get(url, timeout=10)
    response.raise_for_status() # raise an error if the status code is not 200 HACK x test use a mock response HOWTO?
   
except HTTPError: 
    raise HTTPError('Something went wrong with the server, try again later.')

except ConnectionError:
    raise ConnectionError('Something went wrong with the connection, try again later.')

except TimeoutError as e:
    raise TimeoutError(f'Unexpected error: {e.__cause__}') 

else: 
    if response.status_code.ok: 
        return response

# then the test i want to perform on the raise_for_status():

class Test_the_raise_exception(unittest.TestCase):

    @patch('this_module_name.requests.get') 
    def test_request_API_response_raise_for_status(self, mock_requests): 
        
        mock_response = MagicMock(status_code=403) 
        mock_response.raise_for_status.side_effect = requests.HTTPError('Something went wrong with the server, try again later.')
        

        input_query = 'hello'
        response = request_API_response_raise_exception(input_query)
        with self.assertRaises(HTTPError) as context:
            response 
        self.assertEqual(context.exception, 'Something went wrong with the server, try again later.')

i tried to add this line in the test_request_API_response_raise_for_status

mock_requests.get.side_effect = requests.HTTPError('Something went wrong with the server, try again later.')
i tried to print(response) - > None # it must be ok since the function doesn't return anything
also print(type(response)) -> NoneType
i already resolved this issue if i return a string.
but for my use i need to raise exception in the body of request_API_response(..)
