Hello pylint folks,
I have an issue with decorated methods which argument passing is handled by the
decorator. I am using the mock.patch
(http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/patch.html) decorator to well ... mock
objects. Anyway, pylint keeps complaining about the method not being called
with the right argument numbers.
I can see why it bothers pylint, but I cannot find any workaround apart from
disabling the error. I have the feeling there's no better solution since pylint
has no idea about what mock.patch does. Any clue ?
To extend my question I had to work quite a lot for my unit tests py files to
be properly processed by pylint. Since these unit test files are all about
trickery, replacing legit objects by fake ones, I'm starting to wonder if
excluding all my py_unit files from the pylint process wouldn't be the best
way to go.
Regards,
JM
