[TIP] Should the unit tests for mock still run in python 2.7.x?

[Staple, Danny (BSKYB)]

Okay - confirmed - a path issue. The IDE was setting things up so the installed mock was being used as the SUT instead of the mock.py in the workspace.

I have found an interesting difference.
If I run it on the command line with Nose I get this:

$ /usr/local/bin/nosetests-2.7 tests
..........................................S...............................................S......................................S.....................................................................................................................................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 279 tests in 0.283s

OK (SKIP=3)

If run within pycharm (my usual IDE) on 2.7 I get a load of errors - I am now wandering if it is doing something wrong with the import order - and picking up an environment mock (which is an older version) before the intended tested mock...

A short example (there are 24 of these):
/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/stapled/pycharm/helpers/pycharm/noserunner.py /home/stapled/workspace/mock/tests/
Testing started at 9:57 AM ...
...........
Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/unittest/case.py", line 327, in run

    addr.filename, addr.module)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nose-1.1.2-py2.7.egg/nose/importer.py", line 39, in importFromPath
    return self.importFromDir(dir_path, fqname)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nose-1.1.2-py2.7.egg/nose/importer.py", line 86, in importFromDir
    mod = load_module(part_fqname, fh, filename, desc)
  File "/home/stapled/workspace/mock/tests/testhelpers.py", line 7, in <module>
    from mock import (
ImportError: cannot import name PropertyMock

I am going to investigate further to find out what is different (for a start logging sys.path).

I have no problem running it.
What errors are you getting? I am on Ubuntu 12.04 using 2.7.3 which comes with the distro.

I also tested a clone called bendarnell-mock<http://code.google.com/r/bendarnell-mock/source/browse> and it works also.
First I show 2.7.3 and then 2.7.2.

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/mock/

OK (SKIP=3)

Which version of mock?

I've just cloned mock and I've spotted that there are many test failures when using 2.7.2, all of them pass in 3.2.2 (and presumably other 3.x versions).
Is this known?

Thanks,
Danny
