I am trying to change the arguments to open() so that my test code will open the files in the test/ directory instead of the original one.
file.py
def testing_opening():
f = open( 'file', 'r' )
return f.read()
Now, in my test file, I want to read files from 'test/file'.
How do I do that? I can mock patch open(), but I don't know how to change it's arguments.
Please help
EDIT: test_file.py
@patch( '__builtin__.open', new_callable=mock_open )
def test_open( m_file ):
m_file.side_effect = open( os.curdir + '/test/'+ m_file.call_args[0][0], m_file.call_args[1] )
f = testing_opening()
print f
