isinstance support

[Chris]

Hello,

I'm a bit new to python, but it seems to me that this should work:

assert isinstance(mock(SomeClass), SomeClass)

but it fails. Should this pass, or is my assumption wrong?

Cheers,
Chris

Maybe not too late for an answer, your assumption is wrong : a mock is not an instance of a type, it only emulates such instance.

>>> from mockito import mock

>>> class SomeClass(object): pass

>>> type(mock(SomeClass))

<class 'mockito.mocking.mock'>

Hi,

Is there a way to 'mock' the instance type? I have some functions which check for the argument types. I can't test them because they fail 'isinstance' checks when I pass in mocked objects.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,

Checking for argument type with a isinstance is a bad smell. You should
not test argument types, but use polymorphism instead.
