FastAPI Raises Missing Positional Argument Error - python-3.x

Question

The following code raises the following exception.
I'm not sure I fully understand how FastAPI works. Could someone help me understand?
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
from fastapi import Request
app = FastAPI()
async def parse_request(req: Request):
print(req)
print(req.client.host)
#app.route("/endpoint")
async def endpoint(request: Request, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks):
background_tasks.add_task(parse_request, request)
return {"msg": "ok"}
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: endpoint() missing 1 required positional argument: 'background_tasks'
I've gotten this to work without the Request param when I pass in my own variable in the route path:
#app.get("/test/{input_str}")
async def test(input_str: str, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks):
background_tasks.add_task(do_stuff, input_str)
return {"Hello": "World"}
Seems like Starlette doesn't know how to handle multiple of these params being passed so you can't mix and match. Ideal I'd be able to take the Request and Header objects and pass them to a background task for processing.

The decorator #app.route seems to be the problem. (see: https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/912) Use #app.api_route instead or even better #app.get or #app.post.
