Still don't get how to mock an imported library - Python
1
I've looked around but still don't get how to mock a library used inside a function and assert that its been called properly.
a.py
import win32clipboard
def copy():
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardText('dummy')
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
test_a.py
import a
import pytest
def test_copy():
# Mock win32clipboard somehow
# Run a.copy()
# assert mock win32clipboard.call_count == 4
python mocking pytest

There is a mistake in your approach.
win32clipboard is a library, with some classes and methods. You must mock every class from this library you want to use (OpenClipboard, EmptyClipboard, SetClipboardText and CloseClipboard)
import a
import pytest
from unittest.mock import patch
@patch('win32clipboard.OpenClipboard')
@patch('win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard')
@patch('win32clipboard.SetClipboardText')
@patch('win32clipboard.CloseClipboard')
def test_copy(mock_close, mock_set, mock_empty, mock_open):
a.copy()
assert mock_close.called
assert mock_set.called
assert mock_empty.called
assert mock_open.called

I actually found out the answer to my own question here some time ago already but my post got deleted for not clarifying enough, apparently. I wasn't even aware since I never came back to check this thread but thanks for giving a perfect example (using decorators) for others to see how its done @MauroBaraldi!
