如何使用Mock库来模拟Django ForeignKey值?

我有一个模型,我试图在不调用数据库层的情况下测试验证。我不会用文字描述,而只是发布一些示例代码。这里的问题是与Bar的ForeignKey关系,这与我正在尝试测试的内容无关,但是阻止我运行我想要的测试。

首先,myapp/models.py

from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
from django.db import models


class BadFooError(ValidationError):
    pass


class Bar(models.Model):
    description = models.CharField(max_length=20)


class Foo(models.Model):
    bar = models.ForeignKey(Bar)

    a_value = models.IntegerField()

    b_value = models.BooleanField()

    def clean(self):
        super(Foo, self).clean()
        if self.b_value and self.a_value > 50:
            raise BadFooError("No good")

接下来,myapp/tests.py

from unittest import TestCase

from mock import MagicMock

from . import models


class SimpleTest(TestCase):

    def test_avalue_bvalue_validation(self):
        foo = models.Foo()
        foo.a_value = 30
        foo.b_value = True
        foo.bar = MagicMock(spec=models.Bar)
        self.assertRaises(models.BadFooError, foo.full_clean)

    def test_method_2(self):
        foo = models.Foo()
        foo.a_value = 30
        foo.b_value = True
        foo.bar = MagicMock()
        foo.__class__ = models.Bar
        self.assertRaises(models.BadFooError, foo.full_clean)

    def test_method_3(self):
        foo = models.Foo()
        foo.a_value = 30
        foo.b_value = True
        # ignore it and it will go away ...??
        self.assertRaises(models.BadFooError, foo.full_clean)

最后,python manage.py test myapp

的输出
EEE

所以我的问题是......扫管笏吗?

答案 0 :(得分:4)

在我的单元测试中,我只是将_state分配给一个新的Mock实例,就像你对第一个单元测试的小改动一样:

def test_avalue_bvalue_validation(self):
    foo = models.Foo()
    foo.a_value = 30
    foo.b_value = True
    bar = Mock(spec=models.Bar)
    bar._state = Mock()
    foo.bar = bar
    self.assertRaises(models.BadFooError, foo.full_clean)

但是,为了将验证测试为黑盒子,我会将验证代码拉入模型中的单独方法,我将在clean()方法中调用该方法。然后,您可以专门对此验证码进行单元测试。你仍然需要进行_stage = Mock()赋值,这样你就可以创建你的Foo实例,但至少你将最小化对Django的调用。

好吧,现在我只是将我的断言切换为self.assertRaises(models.BadFooError, foo.clean)(差异为foo.clean代替foo.full_clean)。虽然这个有效,但它似乎并不理想。我想将验证测试为黑盒子。
