fake utcnow for the pytest












0












$begingroup$


i want to create pytest with fake utcnow, but also i need to save all other methods with default rues, simple example here:



import datetime as dt


class FakeTime(dt.datetime):
fake_time = None

@classmethod
def utcnow(cls):
return cls.fake_time


def str_2_time(str_dt: str) -> dt.datetime:
"""Shortcut to do convert the string to datetime"""
return dt.datetime.strptime(str_dt, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')


def test_patch_datetime():
for utc_time in ['2019-01-01 10:00', '2019-02-01 13:00', '2019-03-01 16:00']:
FakeTime.fake_time = str_2_time(utc_time)
dt.datetime = FakeTime
assert dt.datetime.utcnow() == str_2_time(utc_time)


is it right way?
