Adnan Umer <umr...@gmail.com> added the comment:
When a method/bounded function is mocked and side_effect is supplied to it, the side_effect function doesn't get the reference to the instance. Suppose we have something like this class SomeClass: def do_something(self, x): pass def some_function(x): cls = SomeClass() y = class.do_something(x) return y And the test for some_function will be def do_something_side_effect(x): retrun x def test_some_function(): with mock.path("SomeCass.do_something") as do_something_mock: do_something_mock.side_effect = do_something_side_effect assert some_function(1) Here do_something_side_effect mock will not have access to SomeClass instance. ---------- nosy: +Adnan Umer versions: -Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35500> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
