mockito 0.7.0

Spying framework

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

Install

pip install mockito

Run the tests

pip install nose
nosetests

Quick Start

Start with an empty stub:

from mockito import *

obj = mock()

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

# back in the tests, verify interactions
verify(obj).say('Hi')
verifyNoMoreInteractions(obj)

Or, say you want to mock the class Dog:

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


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

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

unstub()
