My goal is to use FastAPI to communicate with a local in-memory database for testing purposes. However, in my main I'd like to run populate_database() to add some instances of the class Person to the list.
Then I want to use a HTTP request GET to receive the local_data.
Unfortunately the local_database list is not populated. I would expect 2 instances of Person inside the database.
Any idea why the local_database list is not populated?
