How to test a function with input call?

Question

I have a console program written in Python. It asks the user questions using the command:

some_input = input(\'Answer the question:\', ...)

Answer 1

Since I need the input() call to pause and check my hardware status LEDs, I had to deal with the situation without mocking. I used the -s flag.

python -m pytest -s test_LEDs.py

The -s flag essentially means: shortcut for --capture=no.
