A thin layer of sugar atop Python's mock.

mockish is a small tool I built to make life easier when writing tests in Python. It provides:

1. Explicit alternatives to the nuanced mock.Mock(side_effect=...) argument, including:

• mockish.Mock(return_value=...)
• mockish.Mock(return_call=...)
• mockish.Mock(return_once=...)
• mockish.Mock(return_each=...)
• mockish.Mock(return_exception=...)

2. To help with mocking HTTP requests, mockish makes it easy to create Response objects to use as the return value for your Mock.

3. To serve as a drop in replacement for mock, the mockish module exports mockish.patch.

To be clear, mockish doesn't do much on its own, instead relying fully on the native mock library. This library just provides some syntactic sugar atop mock that acts in a way that I consider more intuitive.

If this project delivers value to you, please provide feedback, code contributions, and/or funding.

Mock HTTP Responses

mock_resp: httpx.Response = mockish.httpx.Response(
    content=expected_content,
    content_type=expected_content_type,
    status_code=expected_status_code,
    headers=expected_headers,
)

assert isinstance(mock_resp, httpx.Response)

mock_resp: httpx.Response = mockish.httpx.Response.from_dict({"hello": str(uuid4())})

print(mock_resp.json())
