Is it possible to make function with the name return that will simulate normal python return.
Why: So that in unittesting we can break from the method that have infinity loop:
while True:
...
time.sleep(x)
I want to do something like this...
def return(y):
...
self.mock_module['time'].sleep.side_effect = [return(z)]
No. That is not possible. However, you can do something like this:
condition = []
while not condition:
...
self.mock_module['time'].sleep.side_effect = [lambda:condition.append(1)]
You can't have return as a function – because that function would simply return from itself. I think the solution you're looking for is an exception:
class StopTest(Exception):
pass
def stopTest():
raise StopTest()
...
self.mock_module['time'].sleep.side_effect = [stopTest]
and then use assertRaises to expect the StopTest exception in your unit test.
