谁能告诉我为什么这行不通?
>>> import mock
>>> @mock.patch('datetime.date.today')
... def today(cls):
... return date(2010, 1, 1)
...
>>> from datetime import date
>>> date.today()
datetime.date(2010, 12, 19)
也许有人能提出一个更好的办法?

当前回答
有一些问题。
首先,你使用模拟的方式。帕奇说得不太对。当用作装饰器时,它只在被装饰的函数内用Mock对象替换给定的函数/类(在本例中为datetime.date.today)。因此,只有在today()中,datetime.date.today才会是一个不同的函数,这似乎不是你想要的。
你真正想要的似乎是这样的:
@mock.patch('datetime.date.today')
def test():
datetime.date.today.return_value = date(2010, 1, 1)
print datetime.date.today()
不幸的是,这行不通:
>>> test()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/mock.py", line 557, in patched
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/mock.py", line 620, in __enter__
TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'datetime.date'
这是失败的,因为Python内置类型是不可变的-更多细节请参阅这个答案。
在本例中,我将继承datetime的子类。日期自己,并创建正确的函数:
import datetime
class NewDate(datetime.date):
@classmethod
def today(cls):
return cls(2010, 1, 1)
datetime.date = NewDate
现在你可以这样做:
>>> datetime.date.today()
NewDate(2010, 1, 1)
其他回答
一般来说,你会有datetime或datetime。将日期导入某个模块。模拟该方法的一种更有效的方法是在导入它的模块上修补它。例子:
a.py
from datetime import date
def my_method():
return date.today()
然后,对于您的测试,模拟对象本身将作为参数传递给测试方法。您将使用所需的结果值设置模拟,然后调用测试中的方法。然后您可以断言您的方法完成了您想要的。
>>> import mock
>>> import a
>>> @mock.patch('a.date')
... def test_my_method(date_mock):
... date_mock.today.return_value = mock.sentinel.today
... result = a.my_method()
... print result
... date_mock.today.assert_called_once_with()
... assert mock.sentinel.today == result
...
>>> test_my_method()
sentinel.today
警告一句。很有可能嘲讽得过火了。当您这样做时,它会使您的测试更长、更难理解,并且不可能维护。在模拟像datetime.date这样简单的方法之前。今天,问问自己是否真的需要嘲笑它。如果您的测试短小精干,并且在不模拟函数的情况下运行良好,那么您可能只看到了正在测试的代码的内部细节,而不是需要模拟的对象。
http://blog.xelnor.net/python-mocking-datetime/中讨论了几种解决方案。总而言之:
模拟对象-简单有效,但打破isinstance()检查:
target = datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 1)
with mock.patch.object(datetime, 'datetime', mock.Mock(wraps=datetime.datetime)) as patched:
patched.now.return_value = target
print(datetime.datetime.now())
模拟类
import datetime
import mock
real_datetime_class = datetime.datetime
def mock_datetime_now(target, dt):
class DatetimeSubclassMeta(type):
@classmethod
def __instancecheck__(mcs, obj):
return isinstance(obj, real_datetime_class)
class BaseMockedDatetime(real_datetime_class):
@classmethod
def now(cls, tz=None):
return target.replace(tzinfo=tz)
@classmethod
def utcnow(cls):
return target
# Python2 & Python3 compatible metaclass
MockedDatetime = DatetimeSubclassMeta('datetime', (BaseMockedDatetime,), {})
return mock.patch.object(dt, 'datetime', MockedDatetime)
使用:
with mock_datetime_now(target, datetime):
....
我想我来晚了一点,但我认为这里的主要问题是您直接修补datetime.date.today,根据文档,这是错误的。
例如,您应该修补在测试函数所在的文件中导入的引用。
假设你有一个functions.py文件,其中包含以下内容:
import datetime
def get_today():
return datetime.date.today()
然后,在你的测试中,你应该有这样的东西
import datetime
import unittest
from functions import get_today
from mock import patch, Mock
class GetTodayTest(unittest.TestCase):
@patch('functions.datetime')
def test_get_today(self, datetime_mock):
datetime_mock.date.today = Mock(return_value=datetime.strptime('Jun 1 2005', '%b %d %Y'))
value = get_today()
# then assert your thing...
希望这能对你有所帮助。

对于那些在测试类中使用补丁程序的人,下面是我如何成功地修补datetime功能:
from datetime import datetime
import unittest
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
# Replace with the proper path to the module you would
# like datetime to be mocked
from path.to.my_module
class MyTestCases(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
"""execute on class instantiation"""
# Record both times at the same moment
self.dt_now, self.dt_utcnow = datetime.now(), datetime.utcnow()
# After retrieving real (or hardcoded datetime values),
# proceed to mock them in desired module
self.patch_datetime_functions()
def patch_datetime_functions(self) -> None:
"""
Patch datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() to prevent issues when
comparing expected dates
"""
# Create a patcher
self.patcher_dt = patch(
'path.to.my_module'
)
# Start but make sure cleanup always occurs
self.patcher_dt.start()
self.addCleanup(self.patcher_dt.stop)
# Perform the actual patch – use lambdas as mock functions
datetime_mock = Mock(wraps=datetime)
datetime_mock.now.return_value = self.dt_now
datetime_mock.utcnow.return_value = self.dt_utcnow
my_module.datetime = datetime_mock
# Here's what it will look like when testing:
def some_test(self):
curr_dt = self.dt_now
returned_dt = my_module.datetime.utcnow()
# Compare the dates
self.assertEqual(curr_dt, returned_dt,
'Datetime values should be equal'
)
