I am trying to write a test for the below code without integrating a mysql database. Is it possible?
def sql_query_select(select, table, condition, variable):
cursor = database_connection("cursor")
sql_query = "SELECT " + select + " from " + table + " where " + condition + " = " + "'" + variable + "'"
cursor.execute(sql_query)
try:
response = cursor.fetchone()[0]
except:
response = cursor.fetchone()
cursor.close()
return response
I have tried the following code as a test
@mock.patch("lambda_function.database_connection")
@mock.patch("pymysql.cursors.Cursor.execute")
def test_sql_query_select(self, mock_database_connection, mock_execute):
mock_database_connection.return_value = "cursor"
mock_execute.return_value = "test"
self.assertEqual(lambda_function.sql_query_select("select", "table", "condition", "variable"), "execute")
But get the following error and am not sure how to proceed.
E AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'execute'
You are already trying to mock database_connection()
. You don't need to also mock cursor.execute()
since you can inject the behavior you want to the return value of database_connection()
. The problem is that you need to mock objects where they are used rather than where they are defined. It looks like sql_query_select()
is in a file named lambda_function.py
, so the mock looks like this:
@mock.patch(lambda_function.database_connection)
def test_sql_query_select(self, mock_database_connection):
mock_record = ('record one', 'record two')
mock_database_connection.return_value.fetchone.return_value = mock_record
result = lambda_function.sql_query_select("select", "table", "condition", "variable")
self.assert_equal(mock_record, result)
One problem with this kind of test is that it completely ignores the parameters to sql_query_select()
. One solution is to verify that database_connection.return_value.execute
was called.
This is also unsatisfying since you are testing implementation rather than behavior.
