Quick start

from mimid import mock, every, verify

class Calc:
    def add(self, a, b):
        return a + b

def test_add():
    calc_mock = mock(Calc)
    every(calc_mock.add).returns(5)    

    result = calc_mock.add(2, 2)

    assert result == 5
    verify(calc_mock.add).with_args(2, 2).called_once()

Why not unittest.mock?

Python built-in mock module is an awesome tool. It's a first choice if you want to mock something in you tests.

However it has a few disadvantages:

• it doesn't work well with modern IDEs (e.g. auto completion)
• it doesn't work well with type hinted code
• it's difficult to define different behaviours for different call arguments
• it allows too much freedom
