Spying framework

Mockito is a spying framework originally based on the Java library with the same name.

Install

pip install mockito

Walk-through

Say you want to mock the class Dog:

class Dog(object):
    def bark(self, sound):
        return "%s!" % sound

To get you started:

from mockito import *

# mock the class
when(Dog).bark('Wuff').thenReturn('Miau!')

# instantiate
rex = Dog()
assert rex.bark('Wuff') == 'Miau!'

unstub()

You can also start with an empty stub:

obj = mock()

# pass it around, eventually it will be used
obj.say('Hi')

# verify interactions
verify(obj).say('Hi')
verifyNoMoreInteractions(obj)
