# a.py
import BaseClass
class ChildClass(BaseClass):
async def do_something():
pass
child_instance = ChildClass()
async def method_a:
await child_instance.do_something()
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_method_a():
mock_class = AsyncMock()
mock_class.do_something = AsyncMock()
mocker.patch("a.ChildClass", return_value=mock_class) # also tried patching "a.child_instance"
await method_a()
I want to mock the child class but I keep running into magicmock is not awaitable, even though I'm setting the return value to be an asyncmock. How can I get my patch of the class/and or global child instance to return an awaitable asyncmock?
