commit d19606a82809f2a909d20b102166880b65d74b1f Author: Claudiu Belu <[email protected]> Date: Tue Jan 30 06:06:47 2018 -0800 autospecs os-win utils classes Most of the os-win utils are created through os_win.utilsfactory, which all rely on its function '_get_class' to load and initialize the proper Utils based on the OS version. This commit patches the mention method, returning an autospeced mock for the desired Utils instead. Closes-Bug: #1735588 Change-Id: If0002b2c711aaeaf13273bed9b912fdd9c639a64 ** Changed in: compute-hyperv Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735588 Title: Mock autospec not used, or not used properly Status in compute-hyperv: Fix Released Status in networking-hyperv: Fix Released Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): In Progress Status in os-win: Fix Released Status in oslotest: Fix Released Bug description: Description =========== In typical unit tests, almost all of the dependencies are mocked or patched (mock.patch), without any guarantee that the mocked methods actually exist, or if their signatures are respected (see below). Because of this, actual issues can easily be overlooked and missed, as the unit tests are wrongfully passing. [0] The mock.Mock class accepts a spec as an argument, which only solves half the problem: it only checks if an attribute exists, based on the given spec. It does not guarantee that the given attribute is actually a method, or if its signature is respected [1][2]. Some unit tests may pass the autospec argument, but mock doesn't support it at the moment. mock.patch, mock.patch.object, mock.patch.multiple accept an autospec argument, but because of a bug [3][4], it cannot be used properly. Steps to reproduce ================== import mock from mock.tests import testmock m = mock.Mock(spec=testmock.Something) # meth has the following signature: # def meth(self, a, b, c, d=None): m.meth() Expected result =============== TypeError should be raised. Actual result ============= A mock object is returned. Proposal ======== Bug reports have been issues for the bugs mentioned above, see [1][2][3][4], but until then, the mock library can be patched to include the following changes: - add autospec argument to mock.Mock and mock.MagicMock. Unit test should then pass the autospec argument whenever possible. - fix the mock.patch autospec issue. - enable mock.patch autospec by default, unless otherwise specified.
