flexmock is a testing library for Python that makes it easy to create mocks,
|
||
|
|
stubs and fakes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The API is inspired by a Ruby library of the same name, but Python flexmock is
|
||
|
|
not a clone of the Ruby version. It omits a number of redundancies in the Ruby
|
||
|
|
flexmock API, alters some defaults, and introduces a number of Python-only
|
||
|
|
features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
flexmock's design focuses on simplicity and intuitiveness. This means that the
|
||
|
|
API is as lean as possible, though a few convenient short-hand methods are
|
||
|
|
provided to aid brevity and readability.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
flexmock declarations are structured to read more like English sentences than
|
||
|
|
API calls, and it is possible to chain them together in any order to achieve
|
||
|
|
high degree of expressiveness in a single line of code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, flexmock integrates seamlessly with all major test runners to
|
||
|
|
reduce even more mock-related boilerplate code.
