Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I think a better possibility would be to return an indexable "match" object (as bit like re match objects):
my_mock(1, someobj(), bar=someotherobj()): match = my_mock.assert_called_with( 1, ANY, bar=ANY) self.assertIsInstance(match[0], someobj) self.assertIsInstance(match['bar'], someotherobj) > It's a *little* cumbersome, but not something I do very often and not > much extra code. I'm not sure that having "assert_called_with" return > objects is an intuitive API either. It has happened to me quite a bit in the latest days :-) "assert_called_with" returning something may fall in the "not very pure" category, but we already have "assertRaises" and friends returning a context manager, and it has proved quite practical. Also, your proposed workaround wouldn't work for assert_any_call(). Perhaps we should wait for other people to chime in. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17063> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
