===========

This plugin installs a ``mocker`` fixture which is a thin-wrapper around the patching API
provided by the `mock package <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock>`_,
but with the benefit of not having to worry about undoing patches at the end
of a test:

.. code-block:: python

    import os

    class UnixFS:

        @staticmethod
        def rm(filename):
            os.remove(filename)

    def test_unix_fs(mocker):
        mocker.patch('os.remove')
        UnixFS.rm('file')
        os.remove.assert_called_once_with('file')

Usage
=====

The ``mocker`` fixture has the same API as
`mock.patch <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#patch>`_,
supporting the same arguments:

.. code-block:: python

    def test_foo(mocker):
        # all valid calls
        mocker.patch('os.remove')
        mocker.patch.object(os, 'listdir', autospec=True)
        mocked_isfile = mocker.patch('os.path.isfile')

The supported methods are:

* `mocker.patch <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#patch>`_
* `mocker.patch.object <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#patch-object>`_
* `mocker.patch.multiple <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#patch-multiple>`_
* `mocker.patch.dict <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#patch-dict>`_
* `mocker.stopall <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.patch.stopall>`_
* ``mocker.resetall()``: calls `reset_mock() <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.Mock.reset_mock>`_ in all mocked objects up to this point.

These objects from the ``mock`` module are accessible directly from ``mocker`` for convenience:

* `Mock <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.Mock>`_
* `MagicMock <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.MagicMock>`_
* `PropertyMock <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.PropertyMock>`_
* `ANY <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#any>`_
* `DEFAULT <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#default>`_ *(Version 1.4)*
* `call <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#call>`_ *(Version 1.1)*
* `sentinel <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#sentinel>`_ *(Version 1.2)*
* `mock_open <https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#mock-open>`_


Spy
---

The spy acts exactly like the original method in all cases, except it allows use of `mock`
features with it, like retrieving call count. It also works for class and static methods.


.. code-block:: python

    def test_spy(mocker):
        class Foo(object):
            def bar(self):
                return 42

        foo = Foo()
        mocker.spy(foo, 'bar')
        assert foo.bar() == 42
        assert foo.bar.call_count == 1

Stub
----


The stub is a mock object that accepts any arguments and is useful to test callbacks, for instance.
May be passed a name to be used by the constructed stub object in its repr (useful for debugging).

.. code-block:: python

    def test_stub(mocker):
        def foo(on_something):
            on_something('foo', 'bar')

        stub = mocker.stub(name='on_something_stub')

        foo(stub)
        stub.assert_called_once_with('foo', 'bar')


Improved reporting of mock call assertion errors
------------------------------------------------


This plugin monkeypatches the mock library to improve pytest output for failures
of mock call assertions like ``Mock.assert_called_with()`` by hiding internal traceback
entries from the ``mock`` module.

It also adds introspection information on differing call arguments when
calling the helper methods. This features catches `AssertionError` raised in
the method, and uses py.test's own `advanced assertions`_ to return a better
diff::


    mocker = <pytest_mock.MockFixture object at 0x0381E2D0>

        def test(mocker):
            m = mocker.Mock()
            m('fo')
    >       m.assert_called_once_with('', bar=4)
    E       AssertionError: Expected call: mock('', bar=4)
    E       Actual call: mock('fo')
    E
    E       pytest introspection follows:
    E
    E       Args:
    E       assert ('fo',) == ('',)
    E         At index 0 diff: 'fo' != ''
    E         Use -v to get the full diff
    E       Kwargs:
    E       assert {} == {'bar': 4}
    E         Right contains more items:
    E         {'bar': 4}
    E         Use -v to get the full diff


    test_foo.py:6: AssertionError
    ========================== 1 failed in 0.03 seconds ===========================


This is useful when asserting mock calls with many/nested arguments and trying
to quickly see the difference.

This feature is probably safe, but if you encounter any problems it can be disabled in
your ``pytest.ini`` file:

.. code-block:: ini

    [pytest]
    mock_traceback_monkeypatch = false

Note that this feature is automatically disabled with the ``--tb=native`` option. The underlying
mechanism used to suppress traceback entries from ``mock`` module does not work with that option
anyway plus it generates confusing messages on Python 3.5 due to exception chaining

.. _advanced assertions: http://pytest.org/latest/assert.html


Use standalone "mock" package
-----------------------------

*New in version 1.4.0.*

Python 3 users might want to use a newest version of the ``mock`` package as published on PyPI
than the one that comes with the Python distribution.

.. code-block:: ini

    [pytest]
    mock_use_standalone_module = true

This will force the plugin to import ``mock`` instead of the ``unittest.mock`` module bundled with
Python 3.4+. Note that this option is only used in Python 3+, as Python 2 users only have the option
to use the ``mock`` package from PyPI anyway.


Requirements
============

* Python 2.7, Python 3.4+
* pytest
* mock (for Python 2)

Why bother with a plugin?
=========================

There are a number of different ``patch`` usages in the standard ``mock`` API,
but IMHO they don't scale very well when you have more than one or two
patches to apply.

It may lead to an excessive nesting of ``with`` statements, breaking the flow
of the test:

.. code-block:: python

    import mock

    def test_unix_fs():
        with mock.patch('os.remove'):
            UnixFS.rm('file')
            os.remove.assert_called_once_with('file')

            with mock.patch('os.listdir'):
                assert UnixFS.ls('dir') == expected
                # ...

        with mock.patch('shutil.copy'):
            UnixFS.cp('src', 'dst')
            # ...


One can use ``patch`` as a decorator to improve the flow of the test:

.. code-block:: python

    @mock.patch('os.remove')
    @mock.patch('os.listdir')
    @mock.patch('shutil.copy')
    def test_unix_fs(mocked_copy, mocked_listdir, mocked_remove):
        UnixFS.rm('file')
        os.remove.assert_called_once_with('file')

        assert UnixFS.ls('dir') == expected
        # ...

        UnixFS.cp('src', 'dst')
        # ...

But this poses a few disadvantages:

- test functions must receive the mock objects as parameter, even if you don't plan to
  access them directly; also, order depends on the order of the decorated ``patch``
  functions;
- receiving the mocks as parameters doesn't mix nicely with pytest's approach of
  naming fixtures as parameters, or ``pytest.mark.parametrize``;
- you can't easily undo the mocking during the test execution;


**Note about usage as context manager**

Although mocker's API is intentionally the same as ``mock.patch``'s, its use
as context manager and function decorator is **not** supported through the
fixture. The purpose of this plugin is to make the use of context managers and
function decorators for mocking unnecessary. Indeed, trying to use the
functionality in ``mocker`` in this manner can lead to non-intuitive errors:

.. code-block:: python

    def test_context_manager(mocker):
        a = A()
        with mocker.patch.object(a, 'doIt', return_value=True, autospec=True):
            assert a.doIt() == True

.. code-block:: console

    ================================== FAILURES ===================================
    ____________________________ test_context_manager _____________________________
    in test_context_manager
        with mocker.patch.object(a, 'doIt', return_value=True, autospec=True):
    E   AttributeError: __exit__

You can however use ``mocker.mock_module`` to access the underlying ``mock``
module, e.g. to return a context manager in a fixture that mocks something
temporarily:

.. code-block:: python

    @pytest.fixture
    def fixture_cm(mocker):
        @contextlib.contextmanager
        def my_cm():
            def mocked():
                pass

            with mocker.mock_module.patch.object(SomeClass, 'method', mocked):
                yield
        return my_cm
