Control time with mock and patch

This assumes you have setup your environment as described in [run_tests.md] and that you are in your virtualenv.

time

If you get stuck, take a peek at the solution.

  1. Take a look at the cat_nap method in catactivies.py. This method sleeps for the provided amount of time if the nap will be satisfying. If it won't be, an exception is raised.

  2. Look at the test stubs:

    • test__cat_nap__satisfying_nap
    • test__cat_nap__not_satisfying

  3. Fill in the body of these tests, using mock.patch to control the behaviour of time.sleep.

    Be sure to check that time.sleep is called correctly!

  4. When you have filled in the body of these tests, run them:

(catpy)user@host:~/catinabox$ python setup.py test
  1. When the tests run successfully, push them to your pull request:
(catpy)user@host:~/catinabox$ git commit -a
(catpy)user@host:~/catinabox$ git push origin master
