"""
safely patch object attributes, dicts and environment variables.
Usage
----------------
Use the `monkeypatch funcarg`_ to safely modify or delete environment
variables, object attributes or dictionary values. For example, if you want
to set the environment variable ``ENV1`` and patch the
``os.path.abspath`` function to return a particular value during a test
function execution you can write it down like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_mytest(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv('ENV1', 'myval')
monkeypatch.setattr(os.path, 'abspath', lambda x: '/')
... # your test code
The function argument will do the modifications and memorize the
old state. After the test function finished execution all
modifications will be reverted. See the `monkeypatch blog post`_
for an extensive discussion.
To add to a possibly existing environment parameter you
can use this example:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_mypath_finding(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv('PATH', 'x/y', prepend=":")
# x/y will be at the beginning of $PATH
calling "undo" finalization explicitely
-----------------------------------------
Usually at the end of function execution py.test will invoke
a teardown hook which undoes the changes. If you cannot wait
that long you can also call finalization explicitely::
monkeypatch.undo()
This will undo previous changes. This call consumes the
undo stack. Calling it a second time has no effect.
Within a test you can continue to use the monkeypatch
object, however.
