I try to mock FileUpload in django view (admin view).

My model looks like that:

class BaseImage(models.Model):
    # create path for uploaded images
    _storage_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(
        os.path.dirname(__file__),
        'secure_media'))
    _image_storage = FileSystemStorage(location=_storage_path)

    image = SorlImageField(
        verbose_name=_(u'image'),
        storage=_image_storage,
        upload_to="%Y/%m")

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

and test:

def test_add_new_as_main(self):
    url = reverse('admin:galleries_secureimage_add')

    post_data = {
        'image': get_temporary_image()
    }
    response = self.client.post(url, post_data)

This uploads file to directory specified in _storage_path and I want to change that in my test.

How can I mock _storage_path to return different path in my tests? I tried to use Mock() library but can't make that work.
