I have a dao.py module with a dao class declared and I want to use mock to set a return value for a dao function, dao.execute_ldap_search().
import mock import unittest import model, dao class TestPeopleDAO(unittest.TestCase): ldap_person_response = SOME_DICT @mock.patch('dao.dao') def test_find_by_last_first_comma(self, mock_dao): # setup the mock mock_dao.execute_ldap_search.return_value = self.ldap_person_response persondao = dao.person_dao() persondao.find_by_last_first_comma('name', '', '') self.assertEqual(len(persondao),1,"Wrong number of objects returned.") self.assertEqual(persondao[0].givenName, "FirstName", "Failed to parse response.") if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main() When I run this, it fails when calling execute_ldap_search because it really calls it. I was expecting it to just return the value I specified. What am I doing wrong? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
