NOTE: All Details about my setup (python version, modules etc) listed at bottom of question.
Apologies in advance if this issue is blatant, but i've been wrestling with it for several days now. Hopefully someone can shed some new light.
I'm in the process of converting unit tests for my personal project from unittest -> pytest. Previously I was using the built-in unittest.mock module, but now i'm trying to use the pytest-mock plugin instead.
I have a sneaking feeling that my tests are leaking mock objects into one another.
Here's why:
High-level details:
# Python version
Python 3.5.2
# Pytest version ( and plugins )
pytest==3.0.7
pytest-benchmark==3.1.0a2
pytest-catchlog==1.2.2
pytest-cov==2.4.0
pytest-ipdb==0.1.dev2
pytest-leaks==0.2.2
pytest-mock==1.6.0
pytest-rerunfailures==2.1.0
pytest-sugar==0.8.0
pytest-timeout==1.2.0
python-dateutil==2.6.0
python-dbusmock==0.16.7
When I run my tests using the following command:
py.test --pdb --showlocals -v -R : -k test_subprocess.py
Everything is fine till we get to test_subprocess_check_command_type. At which point I get the following error:
# Set mock return types
# mock_map_type_to_command.return_value = int
# action
with pytest.raises(TypeError) as excinfo:

If I filter out all of the other tests except for the problematic one then I get:

I also tried manually commenting out the following 2 tests and they allowed me to successfully run all the tests again:
test_subprocess_inittest_subprocess_map_type_to_commandCan anyone see anything blatently wrong with my setup? I've read several blog posts on "where to mock", and looked at the docs themselves several times, not sure what i'm missing. https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html
My Setup Details
Here is everything that might be required to solve this. Let me know if I need to provide any more information!
Also ... please excuse how messy my code looks and all of the comment blocks. I'm a big note taker when i'm learning something new ... I'll make everything more pythonic and cleaner in the near future :)

Edit: ( One more detail, why didn't I just us the patch context manager or decorators ? )
pytest-mock has a pretty good section on their design choice, and why they decided to move away from nested with statements and decorators piled on top of each other. Link is here, but let me mention a couple here just in case:
- excessive nesting of with statements breaking the flow of test
- receiving the mocks as parameters doesn't mix nicely with pytest's approach of naming fixtures as parameters, or pytest.mark.parametrize;
So, if it is possible to make my code a bit cleaner using this plugin, I would like to make that happen. If that isn't possible, then maybe I need to reconsider things.

Why not run your mocks with function decorators or context managers to make sure they get closed out? For example, in test_subprocess_map_type_to_command,
instead of doing all of this to mock scarlett_os.subprocess.Subprocess.check_command_type:
mock_check_command_type = mocker.MagicMock(name="mock_check_command_type")
mock_check_command_type.return_value = True
mocker.patch.object(scarlett_os.subprocess.Subprocess, 'check_command_type', mock_check_command_type)
Why not instead just use a context manager and do:
with mock.patch.object(
scarlett_os.subprocess.Subprocess,
'check_command_type',
return_value=True):
It'll be much terser, and will make sure your mock doesn't leak.
Even better, if your mocks apply to the whole function (I think some of them do), you can use a decorator at the top of the function:
@mock.patch('scarlett_os.subprocess.Subprocess.check_command_type',
return_value=True)
