[issue30548] typo in documentation for create_autospec
Erik Byström added the comment: Yes, you're right. I do think the docs are a bit misleading. Maybe something like this would make it more clear? "If a class is used as a spec then the returned object will be a mock of that class. When the constructor of the returned mock class is invoked an instance object is returned that has the same spec as a normal instance object would have. By passing instance=True you can directly create a mock instance of the class." If not, feel free to close this issue. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue30548> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue30548] typo in documentation for create_autospec
New submission from Erik Byström: "a class" should most probably be replaced by "an instance" in the documentation for create_autospec. "You can use a class as the spec for an instance object by passing instance=True. The returned mock will only be callable if instances of the mock are callable." https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.create_autospec -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 294993 nosy: Erik Byström, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: typo in documentation for create_autospec type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 ___ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30548> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
