Question

I’m trying to create a doctest with mock of function that resides in a separate module
and that is imported as bellow

from foomodule import foo

def bar():
    """
    >>> from minimock import mock
    >>> mock('foo', nsdicts=(bar.func_globals,), returns=5)
    >>> bar()
    Called foo()
    10
    """
    return foo() * 2


import doctest
doctest.testmod()

foomodule.py:

def foo():
    raise ValueError, "Don't call me during testing!"

This fails.

If I change import to import foomodule
and use foomodule.foo everywhere
Then it works.

But is there any solution for mocking function imported the way above?

Answer 1

Finally, found out that this was rather an issue of trunk version of MiniMock.
Old stable one performs as expected.
