mocksafe.PropertyStubber

class mocksafe.PropertyStubber(mock_object: SafeMock)

Used to set a MockProperty on an existing mock object.

You can obtain an instance of this class using mocksafe.stub().

Typically you wouldn’t instantiate or use this class directly.

Example:

>>> from mocksafe import PropertyStubber, MockProperty, mock, stub

>>> class Philosopher:
...     @property
...     def meaning_of_life(self) -> str:
...         return "TODO: discover the meaning of life"

>>> philosopher = mock(Philosopher)

>>> # Contrived example showing intermediate step:
>>> property_stubber: PropertyStubber = stub(philosopher)

>>> # Set property attribute with a MockProperty[str]
>>> property_stubber.meaning_of_life = MockProperty("")

>>> # More usual example:
>>> stub(philosopher).meaning_of_life = MockProperty("")
