Question on mock creation

[Yorgos Pagles]

Hi,
I have used mockito for a few java projects and now I 've needed a
python mocking framework and after trying out mox I still find that
the mockito syntax comes more natural to me. I miss one thing though
from both mox and the java version of mockito. When I stub / mock a
class in python mockito there is no way to check if the method I am
stubbing or mocking is actually a part of the object I am mocking /
faking:

mock = Mock()
when(mock).foo() # what if the mocked class doesn't have a foo()
method?

I would like to see something like the following (AFAIR this is the
way of the java mockito):

mock = Mock(RealClass)
when(mock).foo() # fail if foo() method is not in RealClass

Would an approach like that feel interesting?

Regards,
Yorgos

Hi,

I'm with you about this idea. This is something we have in TODO list
but it never topped the priority queue :)

Feel free to contribute this feature!

Good to hear that :-)

I will give it a shot. Do you have some procedure I should follow, or
just a patch here is fine?

I believe Bartosz opened an issue at mockito-python bitbucket site -
just attach your patch there.

Thanks!
