An additional question to those below is how request is associated
with my response. My function does not take a request object so I am
unclear on how my mock request object is associated with my response
object 'r'. Thank you in advance.<br>

<pre>Thank you for responding Michael and Marius to my initial question. I
tried both methods below Michael but it seems my mock object is not
being used in a either function. Perhaps my assumptions of how mock
should work are incorrect. Looking at the first test (updated with your
fix) and the function in my view, I assume that I can replace the way
'players' is set in my function with the 'players' value in my test.
Then when I set 'r' in my test it calls the signups function and runs
through the function using my mock object. However, my assert statement
fails. What am I missing or misunderstanding. Thanks for all the help.
Test for if branch:
======================
# READ - GET signups - 200 (assumes > 0 signups)
def test_signups_get(self):
today = datetime.datetime.now()
from lunchlottoweb import models
with patch.object(models, "LottoPlayer") as MockLottoPlayer:
players = [NonCallableMock(employeelogin='cjjones', employeedept='systems', signupdate=today, lottowinner=False),
NonCallableMock(employeelogin='dlovrn', employeedept='systems', signupdate=today, lottowinner=False)]
MockLottoPlayer.all = players
request = MagicMock(name='signups_multiple_exist')
r = self.app.get('/signups')
assert 'cjjones' in r.data
My function:
======================
# admin page: today's signups
@app.route('/signups', methods=['GET'])
def signups():
today = date.today()
players = LottoPlayer.query.filter(cast(LottoPlayer.signupdate, Date) == today).distinct(LottoPlayer.employeelogin).all()
player_count = players.__len__()
if player_count > 1:
return render_template("signups_today.html", signups=players)
else:
return render_template("signups_today.html")
