v3.8.1

• Fix regression caused by an explicit mock dependency in the code (#298).

v3.8.0

• Add MockerFixture.async_mock method. Thanks @PerchunPak for the PR (#296).

3.7.0

• Python 3.10 now officially supported.
• Dropped support for Python 3.6.

3.6.1 (2021-05-06)

• Fix mocker.resetall() when using mocker.spy() (#237). Thanks @blaxter for the report and @shadycuz for the PR.

3.6.0 (2021-04-24)

• pytest-mock no longer supports Python 3.5.
• Correct type annotations for mocker.patch.object to also include the string form.
  Thanks @plannigan for the PR (#235).
• reset_all now supports return_value and side_effect keyword arguments. Thanks @alex-marty for the PR (#214).

3.5.1 (2021-01-10)

• Use inspect.getattr_static instead of resorting to object.__getattribute__
  magic. This should better comply with objects which implement a custom descriptor
  protocol. Thanks @yesthesoup for the PR (#224).

3.5.0 (2021-01-04)

• Now all patch functions will emit a warning instead of raising a ValueError when used
  as a context-manager. Thanks @iforapsy for the PR (#221).
• Additionally, mocker.patch.context_manager is available when the user intends to mock
  a context manager (for example threading.Lock object), which will not emit that
  warning.

3.4.0 (2020-12-15)

• Add [mock.seal]{.title-ref} alias to the [mocker]{.title-ref} fixture (#211). Thanks @coiax for the PR.

• Fixed spying on exceptions not covered by the Exception
  superclass (#215), like KeyboardInterrupt -- PR #216
  by @webknjaz.

  Before the fix, both spy_return and spy_exception
  were always assigned to None
  whenever such an exception happened. And after this fix,
  spy_exception is set to a correct value of an exception

3.3.1 (2020-08-24)

• Introduce MockFixture as an alias to MockerFixture.

  Before 3.3.0, the fixture class was named MockFixture, but was renamed to MockerFixture to better
  match the mocker fixture. While not officially part of the API, it was later discovered that this broke
  the code of some users which already imported pytest_mock.MockFixture for type annotations, so we
  decided to reintroduce the name as an alias.

  Note however that this is just a stop gap measure, and new code should use MockerFixture for type annotations.

• Improved typing for MockerFixture.patch (#201). Thanks @srittau for the PR.

3.3.0 (2020-08-21)

• pytest-mock now includes inline type annotations and exposes them to user programs. The mocker fixture returns pytest_mock.MockerFixture, which can be used to annotate your tests:

  from pytest_mock import MockerFixture
  
  def test_foo(mocker: MockerFixture) -> None:
      ...

  The type annotations were developed against mypy version 0.782, the minimum version supported at the moment. If you run into an error that you believe to be incorrect, please open an issue.

  Many thanks to @staticdev for providing the initial patch #199.
