Hello people, I noticed something weird (weird as per my current knowledge, though I know its subjective) today.
sample.py file -- import requests def random_testing(): out = requests.get('www.cisco.com') a = out.json() return a testing.py file -- @patch(*’*sample.requests') def test_random_testing(self, mock_req): mock_req.get('').return_value = 'Hello' out = api.random_testing() Patching the sample.requests in this way does not lead the output of requests.get() function in sample.py file to be ‘Hello’ as indicated in mock_req.get('').return_value = 'Hello' Instead, it creates a new field called return_value in ‘out', and hence out.return_value is ‘Hello’ instead of just ‘out’. But if I patch it as, @patch(*’*sample.requests') def test_random_testing(self, mock_req): mock_req.get.return_value = 'Hello' out = api.random_testing() It does give the value of ‘out’ as ‘Hello’ in sample.py file. I know I am missing something, which is where I need some help :) Thanks. -- <Shakti Kumar> UG, CSE, RVCE, Bengaluru. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
