Taken from this answer:

Python mock AWS SSM

I now have this code:

test_2.py

Consider the following project structure:

I can use python mockito to mock os.environ.get('SOME_VAR') as demo here.
Main idea

Substituting the built-in input function's value with a string is often used to test whether a method has the expected response to that input. A tool like monkeypatch would be used to do this, then we'd assert that calling the method returns the expected value.

Even when you call another method inside the method, if the second one has a predictable return value, you can use a similar approach.

Now, what if that method's expected behaviour is to call a method which also asks for input? The aim is to make sure that the program reached that second input prompt (confirming the first input had the expected result). Is there a way to assert this alone?

Example:

I am testing a class that needs a mock in the constructor, so I usually do this:

I am using an external library (github3.py) that defines an internal exception (github3.exceptions.UnprocessableEntity). It doesn't matter how this exception is defined, so I want to create a side effect and set the attributes I use from this exception.

Tested code not-so-minimal example:

I would like to simulate inputs from the user in unittest using Python 3.8. I have a function that first asks the user which program to execute and then multiple other inputs to get the required values for the said app. I would like to simulate these inputs (input()) in unittest. I was unable to find an answer from this post, as that answer uses "inputted" text and then plugs it into a function, and does not work seamlessly with input(). I would like a solution that works seamlessly with input(), as if a human was running the program, and returns the values that the function in the program outputs. Using separate functions is very tedious and would mean updating the program twice, which is not ideal. If it the only way, I am willing to deal with it, but I would prefer not to. Here is some code that will need to be tested.

main.py:

I've been searching around on internet for online introductions to python-mockito, but there isn't so many resources available at this moment, their documentation seem very "for not-beginners" to me.

I saw many more content creating mock objects on python with unittest, but I applied for a job and they are requiring the mockito-python framework.

At this moment I don't know much about software test, they asked me to do unit and acceptance tests, where should I start?

I've read a few tutorials on mocking in Python, but I'm still struggling :-/

For example, I have a function wrapping a call to google storage to write a blob.

I'd like to mock the google.storage.Client().bucket(bucket_name) method to return an exceptions.NotFound for a specific non-existent bucket. I'm using side_effect to set the excepted exception

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Below is what I tried (I'm using 2 files: main2.py and main2_test.py):
