谁能告诉我为什么这行不通?

>>> import mock
>>> @mock.patch('datetime.date.today')
... def today(cls):
...  return date(2010, 1, 1)
...
>>> from datetime import date
>>> date.today()
datetime.date(2010, 12, 19)

也许有人能提出一个更好的办法?

你可以用这个来模拟datetime:

在sources.py模块中:

import datetime


class ShowTime:
    def current_date():
        return datetime.date.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

在您的tests.py中:

from unittest import TestCase, mock
import datetime


class TestShowTime(TestCase):
    def setUp(self) -> None:
        self.st = sources.ShowTime()
        super().setUp()

    @mock.patch('sources.datetime.date')
    def test_current_date(self, date_mock):
        date_mock.today.return_value = datetime.datetime(year=2019, month=10, day=1)
        current_date = self.st.current_date()
        self.assertEqual(current_date, '2019-10-01')

对于那些在测试类中使用补丁程序的人,下面是我如何成功地修补datetime功能:

from datetime import datetime
import unittest
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch

# Replace with the proper path to the module you would
# like datetime to be mocked
from path.to.my_module

class MyTestCases(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        """execute on class instantiation"""
        # Record both times at the same moment
        self.dt_now, self.dt_utcnow = datetime.now(), datetime.utcnow()

        # After retrieving real (or hardcoded datetime values), 
        # proceed to mock them in desired module
        self.patch_datetime_functions()


    def patch_datetime_functions(self) -> None:
        """
        Patch datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() to prevent issues when
        comparing expected dates
        """

        # Create a patcher
        self.patcher_dt = patch(
            'path.to.my_module'
        )

        # Start but make sure cleanup always occurs
        self.patcher_dt.start()
        self.addCleanup(self.patcher_dt.stop)

        # Perform the actual patch – use lambdas as mock functions
        datetime_mock = Mock(wraps=datetime)
        datetime_mock.now.return_value = self.dt_now
        datetime_mock.utcnow.return_value = self.dt_utcnow

        my_module.datetime = datetime_mock


    # Here's what it will look like when testing:
    def some_test(self):
        curr_dt = self.dt_now
        returned_dt = my_module.datetime.utcnow()
        
        # Compare the dates
        self.assertEqual(curr_dt, returned_dt,
            'Datetime values should be equal'
        )

在Daniel G的解决方案中补充一点:

from datetime import date

class FakeDate(date):
    "A manipulable date replacement"
    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        return date.__new__(date, *args, **kwargs)

这将创建一个类,当实例化时,该类将返回一个正常的datetime。对象,但也可以更改。

@mock.patch('datetime.date', FakeDate)
def test():
    from datetime import date
    FakeDate.today = classmethod(lambda cls: date(2010, 1, 1))
    return date.today()

test() # datetime.date(2010, 1, 1)

几天前我遇到了同样的情况,我的解决方案是在模块中定义一个函数来测试和模拟:

def get_date_now():
    return datetime.datetime.now()

今天我发现了《FreezeGun》,它似乎很好地解决了这个问题

from freezegun import freeze_time
import datetime
import unittest


@freeze_time("2012-01-14")
def test():
    assert datetime.datetime.now() == datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 14)

另一种选择是使用 https://github.com/spulec/freezegun/

安装:

pip install freezegun

并使用它:

from freezegun import freeze_time

@freeze_time("2012-01-01")
def test_something():

    from datetime import datetime
    print(datetime.now()) #  2012-01-01 00:00:00

    from datetime import date
    print(date.today()) #  2012-01-01

它还会影响其他模块的方法调用中的其他datetime调用:

other_module.py:

from datetime import datetime

def other_method():
    print(datetime.now())    

main.py:

from freezegun import freeze_time

@freeze_time("2012-01-01")
def test_something():

    import other_module
    other_module.other_method()

最后:

$ python main.py
# 2012-01-01

一般来说,你会有datetime或datetime。将日期导入某个模块。模拟该方法的一种更有效的方法是在导入它的模块上修补它。例子:

a.py

from datetime import date

def my_method():
    return date.today()

然后,对于您的测试,模拟对象本身将作为参数传递给测试方法。您将使用所需的结果值设置模拟,然后调用测试中的方法。然后您可以断言您的方法完成了您想要的。

>>> import mock
>>> import a
>>> @mock.patch('a.date')
... def test_my_method(date_mock):
...     date_mock.today.return_value = mock.sentinel.today
...     result = a.my_method()
...     print result
...     date_mock.today.assert_called_once_with()
...     assert mock.sentinel.today == result
...
>>> test_my_method()
sentinel.today

警告一句。很有可能嘲讽得过火了。当您这样做时,它会使您的测试更长、更难理解,并且不可能维护。在模拟像datetime.date这样简单的方法之前。今天,问问自己是否真的需要嘲笑它。如果您的测试短小精干,并且在不模拟函数的情况下运行良好,那么您可能只看到了正在测试的代码的内部细节,而不是需要模拟的对象。
