Use `pytest.importorskip` for remaining tests with optional deps 12 months ago

AI Summary: The task involves refactoring existing Python tests within the Falcon web framework. Instead of using try-except blocks to handle `ImportError` exceptions when optional dependencies are missing, the tests should be modified to use `pytest.importorskip`. This ensures that tests relying on optional dependencies are skipped gracefully if those dependencies are not installed, improving the testing process.

Simplify the implementation of `Request.has_param()` 12 months ago

AI Summary: The task involves simplifying the Python code for the `Request.has_param()` method in the Falcon web framework. The current implementation is considered overly complex and can be rewritten as a single line of code for improved readability and efficiency. This is a good beginner-level task suitable for those new to Falcon or Python.

Use `pytest.importorskip` to DRY tests with optional dependencies 12 months ago

AI Summary: Refactor Falcon's test suite to use `pytest.importorskip` for handling optional dependencies like gunicorn, improving code readability and reducing redundancy. This involves replacing existing try-except blocks with the more concise `pytest.importorskip` function and potentially adapting existing test fixtures to handle both ASGI and WSGI servers more efficiently.
