Assert a function/method was not called using Mock

Question

I\'m using the Mock library to test my application, but I want to assert that some function was not called. Mock docs talk about methods like mock.assert_called_with

Answer 1

This should work for your case;

assert not my_var.called, 'method should not have been called'

Sample;

>>> mock=Mock()
>>> mock.a()

>>> assert not mock.b.called, 'b was called and should not have been'
>>> assert not mock.a.called, 'a was called and should not have been'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
AssertionError: a was called and should not have been
