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)

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。

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)

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

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。

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')
