在Daniel G的解决方案中补充一点:

from datetime import date

class FakeDate(date):
    "A manipulable date replacement"
    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        return date.__new__(date, *args, **kwargs)

这将创建一个类，当实例化时，该类将返回一个正常的datetime。对象，但也可以更改。

@mock.patch('datetime.date', FakeDate)
def test():
    from datetime import date
    FakeDate.today = classmethod(lambda cls: date(2010, 1, 1))
    return date.today()

test() # datetime.date(2010, 1, 1)

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'
        )

对我来说最简单的方法是:

import datetime
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch

def test():
    datetime_mock = Mock(wraps=datetime.datetime)
    datetime_mock.now.return_value = datetime.datetime(1999, 1, 1)
    with patch('datetime.datetime', new=datetime_mock):
        assert datetime.datetime.now() == datetime.datetime(1999, 1, 1)

注意:target_module中的datetime模块中的所有功能都将停止工作。

你可以用这个来模拟datetime:

在sources.py模块中:

import datetime


class ShowTime:
    def current_date():
        return datetime.date.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

在您的tests.py中:

from unittest import TestCase, mock
import datetime


class TestShowTime(TestCase):
    def setUp(self) -> None:
        self.st = sources.ShowTime()
        super().setUp()

    @mock.patch('sources.datetime.date')
    def test_current_date(self, date_mock):
        date_mock.today.return_value = datetime.datetime(year=2019, month=10, day=1)
        current_date = self.st.current_date()
        self.assertEqual(current_date, '2019-10-01')

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。

我通过将datetime导入为realdatetime并将我在模拟中需要的方法替换为实际方法来完成这项工作:

import datetime as realdatetime

@mock.patch('datetime')
def test_method(self, mock_datetime):
    mock_datetime.today = realdatetime.today
    mock_datetime.now.return_value = realdatetime.datetime(2019, 8, 23, 14, 34, 8, 0)
