Hi All,
What do you guys think about adding mock==1.0.0 to the nova test
dependencies? I think it is already added to quantum.
Some highlights from http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/index.html
- mock is now part of the Python standard library, available as
unittest.mock in Python 3.3 onwards.
- Mock is based on the ‘action -> assertion’ pattern instead of ‘record
-> replay’ used by many mocking frameworks.
- mock.Mock() is capable of being used in most of the different roles
described by Fowler, except (annoyingly / frustratingly / ironically)
a Mock itself!
So mox is still there to do the record, replay job, if needed.
