Changelog¶

0.8.1¶

Small fix in mockify.matchers.Object class to make it work when mockify.matchers.Any matcher is used as its argument and always inequal object is used when comparing

Added mockify.mock.BaseMock that acts as common abstract base class for all mocks.

Already existing classes mockify.mock.Mock and mockify.mock.MockFactory now inherit from it.
Added mockify.mock.FunctionMock for mocking Python functions and to be used internally when implementing complex mock classes
Added mockify.mock.ABCMock for implementing interfaces defined with help of abc module

Fix mockify.matchers.Object matcher to be inequal to reference object if reference object does not have one or more properties listed in matcher

An alias to 0.6.5 to fix versioning (new feature was introduced, and wrong version part was increased by mistake)
