Sorry, I missed your reply. I do not have modules/db.py
I was attempting to mock the definition of 'ldap_auth' in models/db.py (It's not essential that the definition live there.) It looks like when the tests/sign_infra.py mock is applied for "db.ldap_auth", the web2py custom import hook gets involved and doesn't resolve models/db.py I'm not clear on the effective namespace of my web2py app, which I need to understand to define mocks. If there are *some* places where I can apply mocks and not others thats fine, I'd just like a little help working out where. I'm currently relying on full request testing (functional) which is broader than I would like and forced me to put an "if TEST_APP" predicate in production code. Again, that's ok but I'd like to have more granular tests.
