This +would be tricky to get right though.</p> +<p>When a <cite>Mock</cite> is created by <cite>patch</cite>, arbitrary keywords can be used to set +attributes. If <cite>patch</cite> is created with a <cite>spec</cite>, and is replacing a class, then +a <cite>return_value</cite> mock is created. The keyword arguments are not applied to the +child mock, but could be.</p> +<p>When mocking a class with <cite>patch</cite>, passing in <cite>spec=True</cite> or <cite>autospec=True</cite>, +the mock class has an instance created from the same spec. Should this be the +default behaviour for mocks anyway (mock return values inheriting the spec +from their parent), or should it be controlled by an additional keyword +argument (<cite>inherit</cite>) to the Mock constructor? <cite>create_autospec</cite> does this, so +an additional keyword argument to Mock is probably unnecessary.</p> +<p>The <cite>mocksignature</cite> argument to <cite>patch</cite> with a non <cite>Mock</cite> passed into +<cite>new_callable</cite> will <em>probably</em> cause an error. Should it just be invalid?</p> +<p>Note that <cite>NonCallableMock</cite> and <cite>NonCallableMagicMock</cite> still have the unused +(and unusable) attributes: <cite>return_value</cite>, <cite>side_effect</cite>, <cite>call_count</cite>, +<cite>call_args</cite> and <cite>call_args_list</cite>. These could be removed or raise errors on +getting / setting. They also have the <cite>assert_called_with</cite> and +<cite>assert_called_once_with</cite> methods. Removing these would be pointless as +fetching them would create a mock (attribute) that could be called without +error.</p> +<p>Some outstanding technical debt. The way autospeccing mocks function +signatures was copied and modified from <cite>mocksignature</cite>. This could all be +refactored into one set of functions instead of two. The way we tell if +patchers are started and if a patcher is being used for a <cite>patch.multiple</cite> +call are both horrible. There are now a host of helper functions that should +be rationalised. (Probably time to split mock into a package instead of a +module.)</p> +<p>Passing arbitrary keyword arguments to <cite>create_autospec</cite>, or <cite>patch</cite> with +<cite>autospec</cite>, when mocking a <em>function</em> works fine. However, the arbitrary +attributes are set on the created mock - but <cite>create_autospec</cite> returns a +real function (which doesn’t have those attributes). However, what is the use +case for using autospec to create functions with attributes that don’t exist +on the original?</p> +<p><cite>mocksignature</cite>, plus the <cite>call_args_list</cite> and <cite>method_calls</cite> attributes of +<cite>Mock</cite> could all be deprecated.</p> +</div> + + + </div> + </div> + </div> + <div class="sphinxsidebar"> + <div class="sphinxsidebarwrapper"> + <h3><a href="index.html">Table Of Contents</a></h3> + <ul> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#">CHANGELOG</a><ul> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-1-0-0">2012/10/07 Version 1.0.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-1-0-0-beta-1">2012/07/13 Version 1.0.0 beta 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-1-0-0-alpha-2">2012/05/04 Version 1.0.0 alpha 2</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-1-0-0-alpha-1">2012/03/25 Version 1.0.0 alpha 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0">2012/02/13 Version 0.8.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-release-candidate-2">2012/01/10 Version 0.8.0 release candidate 2</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-release-candidate-1">2011/12/29 Version 0.8.0 release candidate 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-beta-4">2011/10/09 Version 0.8.0 beta 4</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-beta-3">2011/08/15 Version 0.8.0 beta 3</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-beta-2">2011/08/05 Version 0.8.0 beta 2</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-beta-1">2011/07/25 Version 0.8.0 beta 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-alpha-2">2011/07/16 Version 0.8.0 alpha 2</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-8-0-alpha-1">2011/06/14 Version 0.8.0 alpha 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-2">2011/05/30 Version 0.7.2</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-1">2011/05/06 Version 0.7.1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-0">2011/03/05 Version 0.7.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-0-rc-1">2011/02/16 Version 0.7.0 RC 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-0-beta-4">2010/11/12 Version 0.7.0 beta 4</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-0-beta-3">2010/09/18 Version 0.7.0 beta 3</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-0-beta-2">2010/06/23 Version 0.7.0 beta 2</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-7-0-beta-1">2010/06/22 Version 0.7.0 beta 1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-6-0">2009/08/22 Version 0.6.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-5-0">2009/04/17 Version 0.5.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-4-0">2008/10/12 Version 0.4.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-3-1">2007/12/03 Version 0.3.1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-3-0">2007/11/30 Version 0.3.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-2-1">2007/11/21 Version 0.2.1</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-2-0">2007/11/20 Version 0.2.0</a></li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#version-0-1-0">2007/11/19 Version 0.1.0</a></li> +</ul> +</li> +<li><a class="reference internal" href="#todo-and-limitations">TODO and Limitations</a></li> +</ul> + + <h4>Previous topic</h4> + <p class="topless"><a href="compare.html" + title="previous chapter">Mock Library Comparison</a></p> + <h3>This Page</h3> + <ul class="this-page-menu"> + <li><a href="_sources/changelog.txt" + rel="nofollow">Show Source</a></li> + </ul> +<div id="searchbox" style="display: none"> + <h3>Quick search</h3> + <form class="search" action="search.html" method="get"> + <input type="text" name="q" /> + <input type="submit" value="Go" /> + <input type="hidden" name="check_keywords" value="yes" /> + <input type="hidden" name="area" value="default" /> + </form> + <p class="searchtip" style="font-size: 90%"> + Enter search terms or a module, class or function name. + </p> +</div> +<script type="text/javascript">$('#searchbox').show(0);</script> + </div> + </div> + <div class="clearer"></div> + </div> + <div class="related"> + <h3>Navigation</h3> + <ul> + <li class="right" style="margin-right: 10px"> + <a href="genindex.html" title="General Index" + >index</a></li> + <li class="right" > + <a href="compare.html" title="Mock Library Comparison" + >previous</a> |</li> + <li><a href="index.html">Mock 1.0.0 documentation</a> »</li> + </ul> + </div> + <div class="footer"> + © Copyright 2007-2012, Michael Foord & the mock team. + Last updated on Oct 07, 2012. + Created using <a href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org/">Sphinx</a> 1.1.3. + </div> + </body> +</html>
