MagicMock and Context Managers
Learn to mock functions and context managers using MagicMock.
We'll cover the following
MagicMock
object
In addition to mocker.patch()
, mocker also provides a mocker.MagicMock
object that can be used to create mock objects with custom attributes.
Here are some of the methods provided by the MagicMock
object:
assert_called_once()
: This method is used to assert that a mock object was called exactly once. If the mock object was never called or called more than once, the assertion fails.assert_called_with(arg1, arg2, …)
: This method is used to assert that a mock object was called with the specified arguments. If the mock object was called with different arguments or was not called at all, the assertion fails.assert_not_called()
: This method is used to assert that a mock object was never called. If the mock object was called at least once, the assertion fails.assert_any_call(arg1, arg2, …)
: This method is used to assert that a mock object was called with the specified arguments at least once. If the mock object was never called with the specified arguments, the assertion fails.
