when I ask a __name__ of a MagicMock object I get an AttributeError => which is just how MagicMock works I think.
from mock import MagicMock
a = MagicMock()
a.__name__
-------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
----> 1 a.__name__
this is easily solved by :
a.__name__ = "some_name"
a.some_attr.__name__
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
----> 1 a.some_attr.__name__
any deeper attribute I ask of course still returns an AttributeError
is there an easy way to add the __name__ to the "not yet" requested attrs of a MagicMock ??
ok solution is easier than expected
>>> from unittest.mock import MagicMock
>>> class MySpecialMagicMock(MagicMock):
>>> __name__ = "some value"
>>> a = MySpecialMagicMock()
>>> a.__name__
some value
>>> a.another_attribute.__name__
some value
