Can't catch mocked exception because it doesn't inherit BaseException

Question

I\'m working on a project that involves connecting to a remote server, waiting for a response, and then performing actions based on that response. We catch a couple of diff

Answer 1

Use patch.object to partially mock a class.

My use case:

import unittest
from unittest import mock
import requests

def test_my_function(self):
    response = mock.MagicMock()
    response.raise_for_status.side_effect = requests.HTTPError

    with mock.patch.object(requests, 'get', return_value=response):
        my_function()
