I have a peculiar problem with requests_mock. I want to use it with pytest to test my API wrapper library.
I've tried to use the first example in the requests_mock docs, except I put it in a test_mock()-function and added an assert-statement for pytest to discover it.
The following code fails:
# tests/test_mock.py
import requests
import requests_mock
with requests_mock.Mocker() as m:
def test_mock():
m.get('http://test.com', text='resp')
assert requests.get('http://test.com').text == 'resp'
However, when running the following example in ipython, it works as expected. This is the exact code from the example:
with requests_mock.Mocker() as m:
m.get('http://test.com', text='resp')
print(requests.get('http://test.com').text)
# prints 'resp'
Because I can make requests_mock work from ipython, I assume the issue is with pytest, but I might be wrong.
It seems like the adapter isn't used at all, so that requests sends a real http request to the target url instead of using the mocked object.
I'm using Python 3.6.3 (Anaconda3), requests_mock 1.3.0 and pytest 3.3.0
Output from running the code that fails:

Why it works in IPython seems like a mystery to me. To fix the issue just swap the lines of the function definition with the opening of the context manager.
# tests/test_mock.py
import requests
import requests_mock
def test_mock():
with requests_mock.Mocker() as m:
m.get('http://test.com', text='resp')
assert requests.get('http://test.com').text == 'resp'
