Terse mock expectations for Python and Mock
Project description
# expect
Inspired by [RSpec's test doubles][2] and [Expecter Gadget][3].
Uses [Mock][1] but provides a terser syntax for expectations.
Example:
```python
>>> def assert_equal(lhs, rhs):
... assert lhs == rhs
>>> from expect import new_expect
>>> expect = new_expect(__eq__=assert_equal)
>>> expect(2) == 2
>>> expect(2) == 3
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError
>>> class MyClass(object):
... @classmethod
... def my_method(cls, arg):
... pass
>>> # Stubs don't have to be called.
>>> expect(MyClass).stub('my_method').with_(1).and_return(2)
>>> MyClass.my_method(1)
2
>>> expect.reset()
>>> # Mocks
>>> expect(MyClass).should_receive('my_method').with_(1).and_return(2)
>>> expect.verify()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: Expected to be called once. Called 0 times.
