import unittest

from mockito import mock, when, verify

class DemoTest(unittest.TestCase):

def testStubbing(self):

# create a mock

ourMock = mock()

# stub it

when(ourMock).getStuff("cool").thenReturn("cool stuff")

# use the mock

self.assertEqual("cool stuff", ourMock.getStuff("cool"))

# what happens when you pass different argument?

self.assertEqual(None, ourMock.getStuff("different argument"))

def testVerification(self):

# create a mock

theMock = mock()

# use the mock

theMock.doStuff("cool")

# verify the interactions. Method and parameters must match. Otherwise verification error.

verify(theMock).doStuff("cool")
