要将mock_open用于一个简单的文件read()(本页上已经给出的原始mock_open片段更适合于write):

my_text = "some text to return when read() is called on the file object"
mocked_open_function = mock.mock_open(read_data=my_text)

with mock.patch("__builtin__.open", mocked_open_function):
    with open("any_string") as f:
        print f.read()

注意，根据mock_open的文档，这是专门针对read()的，所以不会适用于常见的模式，例如for line in f。

使用python 2.6.6 / mock 1.0.1

在我的例子中，我使用的是pytest，好消息是在Python 3中，单元测试库也可以导入和使用，没有问题。

以下是我的方法。首先，我用可重用的pytest fixture创建了一个conftest.py文件:

from functools import cache
from unittest.mock import MagicMock, mock_open

import pytest
from pytest_mock import MockerFixture


class FileMock(MagicMock):

    def __init__(self, mocker: MagicMock = None, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

        if mocker:
            self.__dict__ = mocker.__dict__
            # configure mock object to replace the use of open(...)
            # note: this is useful in scenarios where data is written out
            _ = mock_open(mock=self)

    @property
    def read_data(self):
        return self.side_effect

    @read_data.setter
    def read_data(self, mock_data: str):
        """set mock data to be returned when `open(...).read()` is called."""
        self.side_effect = mock_open(read_data=mock_data)

    @property
    @cache
    def write_calls(self):
        """a list of calls made to `open().write(...)`"""
        handle = self.return_value
        write: MagicMock = handle.write
        return write.call_args_list

    @property
    def write_lines(self) -> str:
        """a list of written lines (as a string)"""
        return ''.join([c[0][0] for c in self.write_calls])


@pytest.fixture
def mock_file_open(mocker: MockerFixture) -> FileMock:
    return FileMock(mocker.patch('builtins.open'))

在这里，我决定将read_data作为一个属性，以便更python化。它可以用open()需要返回的任何数据在测试函数中赋值。

在我的测试文件中，命名为test_it_works.py，我有以下测试用例来确认预期的功能:

from unittest.mock import call


def test_mock_file_open_and_read(mock_file_open):
    mock_file_open.read_data = 'hello\nworld!'

    with open('/my/file/here', 'r') as in_file:
        assert in_file.readlines() == ['hello\n', 'world!']

    mock_file_open.assert_called_with('/my/file/here', 'r')


def test_mock_file_open_and_write(mock_file_open):
    with open('/out/file/here', 'w') as f:
        f.write('hello\n')
        f.write('world!\n')
        f.write('--> testing 123 :-)')

    mock_file_open.assert_called_with('/out/file/here', 'w')

    assert call('world!\n') in mock_file_open.write_calls

    assert mock_file_open.write_lines == """\
hello
world!
--> testing 123 :-)
""".rstrip()

点击这里查看要点。

我可能对这个游戏有点晚了，但当我在另一个模块中调用open而不必创建新文件时，这对我来说是有效的。

test.py

import unittest
from mock import Mock, patch, mock_open
from MyObj import MyObj

class TestObj(unittest.TestCase):
    open_ = mock_open()
    with patch.object(__builtin__, "open", open_):
        ref = MyObj()
        ref.save("myfile.txt")
    assert open_.call_args_list == [call("myfile.txt", "wb")]

MyObj.py

class MyObj(object):
    def save(self, filename):
        with open(filename, "wb") as f:
            f.write("sample text")

通过将__builtin__模块中的open函数修补到mock_open()中，我可以模拟写入文件而无需创建一个文件。

注意:如果你正在使用一个使用cython的模块，或者你的程序以任何方式依赖于cython，你将需要导入cython的__builtin__模块，方法是在你的文件顶部包含import __builtin__。如果你正在使用cython，你将不能模拟通用__builtin__。

这样做的方式在mock 0.7.0中已经改变，它最终支持模拟python协议方法(magic方法)，特别是使用MagicMock:

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/magicmock.html

一个作为上下文管理器打开的mock示例(来自mock文档中的示例页面):

>>> open_name = '%s.open' % __name__
>>> with patch(open_name, create=True) as mock_open:
...     mock_open.return_value = MagicMock(spec=file)
...
...     with open('/some/path', 'w') as f:
...         f.write('something')
...
<mock.Mock object at 0x...>
>>> file_handle = mock_open.return_value.__enter__.return_value
>>> file_handle.write.assert_called_with('something')

使用assert简单的@patch

如果你想使用@patch。open()在处理程序内部被调用并被读取。

    @patch("builtins.open", new_callable=mock_open, read_data="data")
    def test_lambda_handler(self, mock_open_file):
        
        lambda_handler(event, {})

如果你不需要进一步的文件，你可以装饰测试方法:

@patch('builtins.open', mock_open(read_data="data"))
def test_testme():
    result = testeme()
    assert result == "data"
