Mocking

Flexmock

• Library for very easy mocking of Python objects.
• 💻 github.com/bkabrda/flexmock, 📜 documentation
• , , 📦 fedora packages
• ➕
  • Allows specifying multiple attributes and methods together. Example of git.Repo mock:

  flexmock(
      active_branch="branch",
      working_dir="example/path",
      remote=lambda: flexmock(urls=["http://example/url"]),
  )

  • Easy checking of calls, replacing of the method implementation:

  flexmock()
  .should_receive("get_project")
  .with_args(repo="repo", namespace="namespace")
  .replace_with(lambda repo, namespace: flexmock())
  .mock()

  • Overwritting existing objects:

  flexmock(git.Repo)
  .should_receive("remote")
  .replace_with(lambda: flexmock(urls=["http://example/url"]))
  .mock()

  • Mocking of the imports.
