Hi guys, I'm trying to test the code in the main() but I'm a bit unsure how to
go about it since I'm not passing any arguments or even returning anything
other then logging. For the purposes of the example I've shortened the tree
statements in the function..
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to test the logic below? Or
perhaps give me an example on how to test the code below (that would be really
appreciated).
I've posted this question on Stackoverflow but the guys over there told me to
mock it but no one provided an example (I'm fairly new on mocking)..and how
could I mock the if statements or even the for loop?
script.py
from . import settings
def main():
if settings.PATHS: # list containing full paths to a directory of files
paths = settings.PATHS
for path in paths:
data = read_file(path)
modified_data = do_something_with_the_data_collected(data)
write_to_new_file(modified_data)
else:
logger.warning("There are no files in
{}".format(settings.FILES_DIRECTORY))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
tests/file_tests.py
import unittest
from module.script import main
class FileManagerTests(unittest.TestCase):
def test_main_func(self):
main() # ?? this is where I am stuck, should I just test
# that it logs correctly if certain data exists
# in settings file?
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
