I have a function funcA that lives in folderA.folderB.foo.py

def funcA():
     ...
     return 0 if (some condition) else 1

That is then used in classB.funcB in folderA.folderC.bar.py.

from folderA.folderB.foo import funcA

class B:
    def funcB(self):
        return_code = funcA()
        return 'A' if return_code == 0 else 'B'

Now in my testing suite I want to test classB.funcB for both possible return_codes that can be returned from funcA, but I am not sure how to mock the return value of funcA in a test for funcB

I have tried using @patch(folderA.folderB.foo.funcA) as well as @patch(folderA.folderC.bar.funcA), but neither of these have worked. Based on what I have read from the documentation (https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/unittest.mock.html#where-to-patch) it seems that the latter is meant to work, but for some reason it doesn't work.

  • Please show your not working test, otherwise it is difficult to see what goes wrong. At a first glance, your second attempt at patching should work. – MrBean Bremen Aug 10 '23 at 17:21
