asyncmock 0.4.1

Extension to the standard mock framework to support support async

Awaitable mocks for async code.

The package specifically only extends mock and not any other part of unittest.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install asyncmock

Usage

Async Mock is a drop in replacement for a Mock object eg:

my_mock = AsyncMock()

await my_mock("foo", bar=123)

my_mock.assert_called_with("foo", bar=123)

This also works with nested methods:

my_mock = AsyncMock()

await my_mock.my_method("foo", bar=123)

my_mock.my_method.assert_called_with("foo", bar=123)

Side effects and return values can also be awaited.

Including a non-awaitable item:

my_mock = AsyncMock()

my_mock.my_method.not_async = True
my_mock.my_method("foo", bar=123)

The not_async option can also be provided as an init argument. The not_async argument is not inherited by sub-mocks.

pytest Example

These examples use pytest along with the pytest-asyncio plugin.

Generating an exception:

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_raise_exception():
    my_mock = AsyncMock(side_effect=KeyError)

    with pytest.raises(KeyError):
        await my_mock()

    my_mock.assert_called()
