Python: How do I mock datetime.utcnow()?

Question

I have the below:

from datetime import datetime

def get_report_month_key():
    month_for_report = datetime.utcnow()
    return month_for_report.strftime(\"         


        

Answer 1

You can try using freezetime module.

from yourfile import get_report_month_key
from freezegun import freeze_time
import unittest

class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    @freeze_time('2017-05-01')
    def get_report_month_key_test():
       get_report_month_key().should.equal('201705')
