python bottle boddle - patch(... side-effect="Exception) not working. What am I doing wrong

Question

With: Python 3.7, Bottle, Boddle, Requests

I have one module to be tested (server), and a second module with the test code (test).

The tested code (server.py):

@bt_app.post("/")
def server_post():
    try:
        bt.request.forms.get("msg", None)
    except bt.BottleException:
        print("BottleException")

Testing code (test.py):

def test_test():
    with boddle(), \
         patch(
             "server.bt.request.forms.get",
             side_effect=server.bt.BottleException,
              ), \
         pytest.raises(server.bt.BottleException):
                server.server_post()

I first run 'server', which successfully sets up a server.

I then run 'test', which successfully accesses and tests the server.

I expect the test to raise "BottleException" and PASS, but it does not. It DOES properly fail stating: "Failed: DID NOT RAISE <class 'bottle.BottleException'>"

Can anyone give me a pointer of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Try it without the alias.

with pytest.raises(bottle.BottleException):
