I'm trying to start using unittest.mock 's action/assert pattern instead of mox 's record/replay/verify pattern.
# foo.py
def op_1(param):
pass
def op_2(param):
pass
def do_stuff(param_1, param_2):
global config
global log
try:
op_1(param_1)
if config.getboolean('section','option'):
op_2(param_2)
except:
log.error("an error occured")
And, here's an example of what my unittest file looks like.
# test_foo.py
class TestFoo(unittest.TestCase):
def test_do_stuff(self):
param_1 = None
param_2 = None
foo.config = MagicMock()
foo.config.getboolean('section','option', return_value = True)
foo.op_1 = MagicMock()
foo.op_2 = MagicMock()
do_stuff(param_1, param_2)
foo.op_1.assert_called_once_with(param_1)
foo.op_2.assert_called_once_with(param_2)
foo.config.getboolean.assert_called_once_with('section','option')
Does this test to verify the items below/am I using mock right?
It turns out that I was using the return_value
wrong.
When I need a mock.Mock
or mock.MagicMock
object to return a value, it will need to always return that value, regardless of the arguments passed. Though, it might be nice to give different behavior based on arguments passed ( possible feature request ).
The way I completed this was:
foo.config.getboolean = mock.MagicMock(return_value = True)
And then I can do this:
self.assertGreaterThan(len(foo.config.mock_calls), 0)
self.assertGreaterThan(len(foo.config.getboolean(str(),str())), 0)
