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?

您可以使用以下基于Daniel G解的方法。这个方法的优点是不会破坏isinstance(d, datetime.date)的类型检查。
import mock
def fixed_today(today):
from datetime import date
class FakeDateType(type):
def __instancecheck__(self, instance):
return isinstance(instance, date)
class FakeDate(date):
__metaclass__ = FakeDateType
def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
return date.__new__(date, *args, **kwargs)
@staticmethod
def today():
return today
return mock.patch("datetime.date", FakeDate)
基本上,我们取代了基于c语言的datetime。Date类,使用我们自己的python子类,生成原始的datetime。日期实例,并响应isinstance()查询完全与本机datetime.date相同。
在测试中使用它作为上下文管理器:
with fixed_today(datetime.date(2013, 11, 22)):
# run the code under test
# note, that these type checks will not break when patch is active:
assert isinstance(datetime.date.today(), datetime.date)
类似的方法可用于模拟datetime.datetime.now()函数。
其他回答
下面是另一种模拟datetime.date.today()的方法,其额外的好处是其余的datetime函数继续工作,因为模拟对象被配置为包装原始的datetime模块:
from unittest import mock, TestCase
import foo_module
class FooTest(TestCase):
@mock.patch(f'{foo_module.__name__}.datetime', wraps=datetime)
def test_something(self, mock_datetime):
# mock only datetime.date.today()
mock_datetime.date.today.return_value = datetime.date(2019, 3, 15)
# other calls to datetime functions will be forwarded to original datetime
注意mock.patch()的wraps=datetime参数——当foo_module使用date.today()之外的其他datetime函数时,它们将被转发到原始包装的datetime模块。
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)
我们可以使用pytest-mock (https://pypi.org/project/pytest-mock/)模拟器对象来模拟特定模块中的日期时间行为
假设您想在以下文件中模拟日期时间
# File path - source_dir/x/a.py
import datetime
def name_function():
name = datetime.now()
return f"name_{name}"
在测试函数中,mock将在测试运行时添加到函数中
def test_name_function(mocker):
mocker.patch('x.a.datetime')
x.a.datetime.now.return_value = datetime(2019, 1, 1)
actual = name_function()
assert actual == "name_2019-01-01"
monkeypatch的最小工作示例
这个解决方案使用https://pypi.org/project/pytest-mock/包中的monkeypatch。
特点:
仅模拟datetime.today(),但datetime.now()仍然可以正常工作 仅在特定范围内模拟(即块)
import sys
from datetime import datetime
MOCKED_DATETIME_TODAY = datetime(1900, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
class MockedDatetime(datetime):
@classmethod
def today(cls):
return MOCKED_DATETIME_TODAY
def test_mock_datetime_today(monkeypatch):
"""Only datetime.today() is mocked and returns some date in 1900. datetime.now() returns still the current date."""
with monkeypatch.context() as mpc:
mpc.setattr(sys.modules[__name__], 'datetime', MockedDatetime)
assert datetime.today() == MOCKED_DATETIME_TODAY # datetime.today() mocked
assert datetime.now() > MOCKED_DATETIME_TODAY # datetime.now() not mocked
assert datetime.today() > MOCKED_DATETIME_TODAY # not mocked anymore
值得注意的是,Mock文档专门讨论了datetime.date.today,并且可以在不创建虚拟类的情况下做到这一点:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock-examples.html#partial-mocking
>>> from datetime import date
>>> with patch('mymodule.date') as mock_date:
... mock_date.today.return_value = date(2010, 10, 8)
... mock_date.side_effect = lambda *args, **kw: date(*args, **kw)
...
... assert mymodule.date.today() == date(2010, 10, 8)
... assert mymodule.date(2009, 6, 8) == date(2009, 6, 8)
...
