open-mock-file 1.0.2

Smart object for mocking open file calls, depends on file path

Description

This library contains object, which can be used during mocking files in tests. Features:

• You can register different actions (provide different objects) for different paths
• You can add text, which will be returned on read
• You can select behavior for paths, which are not registered. Supported behaviors:
  • Raise FileNotFoundError exception (default behavior)
  • Return original file from filesystem
  • Return mock object

Install

It can be installed with following command:

pip install open-mock-file

Usage:

Examples

Mock open first file with custom object, second one with string data and raise FileNotFoundError for not registered path:

from unittest.mock import patch
from open_file_mock import MockOpen


class FileObject:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data

    def read(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.data

    def write(self, data, *args, **kwargs):
        self.data = data

    def __enter__(self):
        return self

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        pass


with patch('builtins.open', new_callable=MockOpen) as open_mock:
    open_mock.register_object_for_path(path='/tmp/f1', obj=FileObject('Some data'))
    open_mock.set_read_data_for(path='/tmp/f2', data='file2 data')
    with open('/tmp/f1') as f1:
        print(f1.read())
        f1.write('Other data')
        print(f1.read())
        print('----------------------')

    with open('/tmp/f2') as f2:
        print(f2.read())
        print('----------------------')

    open('/etc/hostname')

output:

Some data
Other data
----------------------
file2 data
----------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
FileNotFoundError: File /etc/hostname not found in mock function

Set default behavior (for not registered paths) to return original file:

from unittest.mock import patch, MagicMock
from open_file_mock import MockOpen, DEFAULTS_ORIGINAL

with patch('builtins.open', new_callable=MockOpen) as open_mock:
    open_mock.default_behavior = DEFAULTS_ORIGINAL
    open_mock.register_object_for_path(path='/tmp/f1', obj=MagicMock())
    with open('/tmp/f1') as f1:
        print(f1.read())
        print('----------------------')

    with open('/etc/hostname') as f2:
        print(f2.read())
        print('----------------------')

output:

<MagicMock name='mock.__enter__().read()' id='...'>
----------------------
myhost

----------------------

Set default behavior to return new mock:

from unittest.mock import patch
from open_file_mock import MockOpen, DEFAULTS_MOCK

with patch('builtins.open', new_callable=MockOpen) as open_mock:
    open_mock.default_behavior = DEFAULTS_MOCK
    open_mock.set_read_data_for('/tmp/f1', 'QWERTY')
    with open('/tmp/f1') as f1:
        print(f1.read())
        print('----------------------')

    with open('/etc/hostname') as f2:
        print(f2.read())
        print('----------------------')

output:

QWERTY
----------------------
<MagicMock name='mock.__enter__().read()' id='...'>
----------------------

Yoy can get registered object with get_object_for_path method:

from unittest.mock import patch
from open_file_mock import MockOpen


class FileObject:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data

    def read(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.data

    def write(self, data, *args, **kwargs):
        self.data = data

    def __enter__(self):
        return self

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        pass


with patch('builtins.open', new_callable=MockOpen) as open_mock:
    open_mock.register_object_for_path(path='/tmp/f1', obj=FileObject('Some data'))
    open_mock.set_read_data_for(path='/tmp/f2', data='file2 data')
    with open('/tmp/f1') as f1:
        print(f1.read())
        print('----------------------')

    print(open_mock.get_object_for_path('/tmp/f1'))

output:

Some data
----------------------
<__main__.FileObject object at ...>

Object methods:

• register_object_for_path(path, obj) - allow to register new object for provided path. Can be used once for particular path
• update_object_for_path(path, obj) - update registered path or create new mapping if not exists
• unregister_path(path) - remove path mapping
• set_read_data_for(path, data) - set data which will be returned of file read
• get_object_for_path(path) - returns object registered for path. If mapping not exists, raises KeyError
