1. 概述

Mock测试是在测试过程中对可能不稳定、有副作用、不容易构造或者不容易获取的对象，用一个虚拟的对象来创建以便完成测试的方法。在Python中这种测试是通过第三方的mock库完成的，mock在Python3.3的时候被引入到Python标准库中，改名为unittest.mock。之前的Python版本都需要安装：pip install mock

初学者理解mock比较抽象，可以简单理解为函数指针，通过mock成员方法或变量，可以指定mock对象的返回值，获取是否被调用、被调用次数、调用时的参数等。

2. 使用方法

2.1. 简介

• 在test方法前，添加decorator @mock.patch('pyfile.func', return_value='None')，可以完成对pyfile.func的mock，并指定return_value为‘None’，在test方法的参数中增加mock_func即可
• 单个test方法引用多个mock.patch decorator时，patch从下向上，test方法的参数从左向右，依次对应（可以有剩余的参数,但是必学是已经声明的fixture），样例如下

@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')
    # ...

2.2. 示例代码

pytest2.py

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
import pytest
import mock

@pytest.fixture(scope='function', params=[1, 2, 3])    # multiple test cases
def mock_data_params(request):
    return request.param

def test_not_2(mock_data_params):
    print('test_data: %s' % mock_data_params)
    assert mock_data_params != 2

##################

def _call(x):
    return '{} _call'.format(x)

def func(x):
    return '{} func'.format(_call(x))

def test_func_normal():
    for x in [11, 22, 33]:                          # multiple test cases
        # print '{} - {}'.format(x, func(x))
        assert func(x) == '{} _call func'.format(x)

@mock.patch('pytest2._call', return_value='None')   # set mock 'pytest2._call'.return_value is 'None', also could use mock_call.return_value='None'
def test_func_mock(mock_call):
    for x in [11, 22, 33]:
        # print '{} - {}'.format(x, func(x))
        ret = func(x)
        assert mock_call.called                 # True or False
        assert mock_call.call_args == ((x,),)   # This is either None (if the mock hasn’t been called), or the arguments that the mock was last called with
        assert ret == 'None func'               # because mock_call.return_value is 'None', so the result here is 'None func'

如何获取mock方法的调用次数和参数数据

• mock_call.called # True or False

• mock_call.call_args # This is either None (if the mock hasn’t been called), or the arguments that the mock was last called with

• mock_call.return_value

• mock_call.side_effect # This can either be a function to be called when the mock is called, an iterable or an exception (class or instance) to be raised
