So I'm in the current testing situation:
sender.py:
-------------
def sendEmails():
return "I send emails"
alerter.py:
-------------
from sender import *
def DoStuffAndSendEmails():
doStuff()
sendEmails()
I'm trying to write a test fn that will test DoStuffAndSendEmails()
(as well as it's kin) without actually sending any emails out. I
could go through alter alerter so that it does `import sender` and
then find and replace fn() with sender.fn() so I can just create a
mock fn fakeSendEmails() and and do something like sender.sendEmails =
fakeSendEmails, but I'd rather not.
Anyone know how to test alerter.py with out altering the file?
You could alter sender.py. :-)
Actually, you could have:
alerter.py:
-------------
TEST = False
if TEST:
from mock_sender import *
else:
from sender import *
so you're changing alerter.py in only one place, or read the value of
TEST from a config file.
