mocker-builder 0.1.2

Python library to build mock tests dynamicaly using the mocker feature from pytest-mock lib

Mocker Builder

Testing tools for mocking and patching based on pytest_mock mocker features but with improvements.

Installation

pip install mocker-builder

Initializer

To start using mucker-builder features just create your Test class, inherit from MockerBuilder class, implement the required abstract method mocker_builder_setup decorating it with the @MockerBuilder.initializer decorator and start building your mocks and fixtures, adding mocks from your test_... methods, but you must declare the mocker_builder_setup method and decorate it with the @MockerBuilder.initializer decorator to be able to use MockerBuilder features.

...
def print_io_test():
    print("Ouieh!!!")

class TestMyHeroes(MockerBuilder):

    @MockerBuilder.initializer
    def mocker_builder_setup(self):
        pass
...
def test_io(self):
    mock_test_io = self.patch(
        target='sys.stdout',
        new_callable=StringIO
    )
    print_io_test()
    assert mock_test_io().getvalue() == 'Ouieh!!!\n'

The self.patch TMocker.PatchType properties

The self.patch method creates a new patch/mock object. It is a patch/mock because by doing:

my_tested_thing = self.patch(...)

my_tested_thing has some properties of a mock.patch object, like start, stop and set_result. To get access to the patched mock we can just:

assert my_tested_thing.mock.called
Or
assert my_tested_thing().called

Both ways return an MagicMock or an AsyncMock if the tested method is async.

For a complete exemple flow just have a look bellow:

from unittest.mock import PropertyMock
import pytest

from mocker_builder import MockerBuilder
from testing_heroes import my_heroes
from testing_heroes.my_heroes import (
    Batman,
