I would like to test the batch_write method using unit test.
class DataService:
def __init__(self, table):
dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='us-west-2')
self.db = dynamodb.Table(self.table)
def batch_write(self, items):
with self.db.batch_writer() as batch:
for item in items:
batch.put_item(Item=item)
I want to mock the batch_writer(). I have seen usage of mock_open used to mock file open methods. But I don't really understand can i mock this streaming batch_writer() call.
I came across this issue as well this is how i solved it.
from mock import MagicMock
class TestClass():
def __enter__(self, *args):
return self
def __exit__(self, *args):
pass
cls = TestClass()
cls.put_item = MagicMock()
repository.table.batch_writer = MagicMock()
repository.table.batch_writer.return_value = cls
print cls.put_item.call_args_list
Now i can pass my mock test class in place of the batch_writer to mock calls or check params. I know this is an old question but it is one that I struggled with and wished someone would have posted a code example if this is easy to do. If there is better easier way using patch that anyone has please post.
I wrote a slightly different version, based on Codyj110's idea, but it won't require to create the TestClass.
Instead of creating the new class, I'm just setting the __enter__
and __exit__
methods with mocked values.
class TestClassRequiringMockOnDynamoDbBatchWriter:
@patch('boto3.resource')
def test_mocked_batch_writer(self, mock_dynamo_db):
mock_db, mock_batch_writer = self._get_mocked_dynamo_objects(fake_exception)
mock_dynamo_db.return_value = mock_db
assert mock_batch_writer.put_item.call_count == my_expected_calls
@staticmethod
def _get_mocked_dynamo_objects(expected_value):
mock_batch_writer = Mock()
mock_batch_writer.__enter__ = Mock(return_value=mock_batch_writer)
mock_batch_writer.__exit__ = Mock(return_value=None)
# Use side_effect or return_value according to your intention
mock_batch_writer.put_item.side_effect = expected_value
mock_table = Mock()
mock_table.batch_writer.return_value = mock_batch_writer
mock_db = Mock()
mock_db.Table.return_value = mock_table
return mock_db, mock_batch_writer
I hope it helps someone!
