I've seen the documentation and other questions, but I am having trouble.
my code file: index.py from paho.mqtt,client import Client
mqtt_connected = False
mqtt_client = Client("my-client")
TOPIC = "topic"
def _send_message(msg, client):
client.on_connect = on_connect
print(f"Here in send message with client {mqtt_client}")
client.connect("test.mosquitto.org",1883, 60)
response = client.publish(TOPIC, msg)
return response.is_published
test_mqtt.py from unittest.mock import patch
class Test_Mqtt:
msg = "My message"
def test_send(self):
from fsas_lambda import index
with patch('fsas_lambda.index.Client' ) as mock_client:
# mock_client.return_value = index.Client()
index._send_message(DBirth(self.event), mock_client)
print(f"Mock client = {mock_client}")
print(f" Client methos calls: {mock_client.method_calls}")
mock_client.publish.assert_called()
assert False
When run as pytest this fails with AssertionError: Expected 'publish' to have been called.
The only prints are from pytest:
Mock client = <MagicMock name='Client' id='1443899989344'>
Client methos calls: []
When run from pytest <path>/test_mqtt.py it gets all the way to the assert False
I also get prints from the code under test:
Here in send message with client <MagicMock name='Client' id='2589477813456'>
Mock client = <MagicMock name='Client' id='2589477813456'>
Client methos calls: [call.connect('test.mosquitto.org', 1883, 60),
call.publish('topic', 'My message')]
I get the same results with or without this line
# mock_client.return_value = index.Client()
Also tried this patch with no change:
with patch('paho.mqtt.client.Client' ) as mock_client:
