Class Mock

source code

The Mock class emulates any other class for testing purposes. All method calls are stored for later examination.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__getattr__(self, name)

source code

__init__(self, returnValues=None, realClass=None)
The Mock class constructor takes a dictionary of method names and the values they return.

source code

_checkInterfaceCall(self, name, callParams, callKwParams)
Check that a call to a method of the given name to the original class with the given parameters would not fail.

source code

_setupSubclassMethodInterceptors(self)

source code

getAllCalls(self)
Return a list of MockCall objects, representing all the methods in the order they were called.

source code

getNamedCalls(self, methodName)
Return a list of MockCall objects, representing all the calls to the named method in the order they were called.

source code

mockAddReturnValues(self, **methodReturnValues)

source code

mockCheckCall(self, index, name, *args, **kwargs)
test that the index-th call had the specified name and parameters

source code

mockGetAllCalls(self)
Return a list of MockCall objects, representing all the methods in the order they were called.

source code

mockGetNamedCalls(self, methodName)
Return a list of MockCall objects, representing all the calls to the named method in the order they were called.

source code

getattr(self, name)
(Qualification operator)

source code

init(self, returnValues=None, realClass=None)
(Constructor)

source code

The Mock class constructor takes a dictionary of method names and the values they return. Methods that are not in the returnValues dictionary will return None. You may also supply a class whose interface is being mocked. All calls will be checked to see if they appear in the original interface. Any calls to methods not appearing in the real class will raise a MockInterfaceError. Any calls that would fail due to non-matching parameter lists will also raise a MockInterfaceError. Both of these help to prevent the Mock class getting out of sync with the class it is Mocking.

Overrides: object.__init__

_checkInterfaceCall(self, name, callParams, callKwParams)

source code

Check that a call to a method of the given name to the original class with the given parameters would not fail. If it would fail, raise a MockInterfaceError. Based on the Python 2.3.3 Reference Manual section 5.3.4: Calls.
