Subprocess Mock
Mock objects for the standard library’s subprocess module
pip install subprocess-mock
Installation in a virtual environment is recommended.
Example Usage
Use the functions defined in the subprocess_mock.functions module (and also exposed in the subprocess_mock namespace) to patch subprocess module functions in unit tests.
>>> import pathlib
>>> import subprocess
>>> import subprocess_mock
>>> from unittest.mock import patch
>>>
>>> new_file = pathlib.Path("testfile.txt")
>>> new_file.exists()
False
>>> # Test: call a process with a mock.patched subprocess.run
>>> # No Process is called,
>>> # but a subprocess.CompletedProcess instance is returned.
>>>
>>> with patch("subprocess.run", new=subprocess_mock.run):
... run_result = subprocess.run(["touch", str(new_file)])
...
>>> run_result
CompletedProcess(args=['touch', 'testfile.txt'], returncode=0)
>>> new_file.exists()
False
>>>
>>> # Counter-test: call the process without patching subprocess.run
>>> # The process is called with normal effects.
>>>
>>> run_result = subprocess.run(["touch", str(new_file)])
>>> new_file.exists()
True
>>>
