Fixes #237

It seems spy and patch.object have a reset_mock that doesn't take the return_value and side_effect keyword args.

I originally tried to fix this in _start_patch

p = mock_func(*args, **kwargs)
mocked = p.start() # type: unittest.mock.MagicMock
self._patches.append(p)
if hasattr(mocked, "reset_mock"):
self._mocks.append(mocked)
# check if `mocked` is actually a mock object, as depending on autospec or target
# parameters `mocked` can be anything
if hasattr(mocked, "__enter__") and warn_on_mock_enter:

but changing self._mocks.append(mocked) to only append actually Mock objects breaks my repo worse because then I lose the ability to call resetall on patched objects.

This seemed like the best approach to take.

I also tried to get this to fail in a test case but could not get the error to trigger. I suspect the issue might be with the version of mock or unittest.mock that our projects are using. I should be on the lastest of everything, but I'm still facing the error which is strange 🤔

Here is my repo DontShaveTheYak/cloud-radar#32 if you want to try and debug it.

Found a working test case. If you add this line to the previous version 3.6.0 then it triggers the error.

I now believe the failure happens when autospec = True but I don't know why 🤷‍♂️. That's the only thing in common between my failure with patch.object and the failure with spy. I think they both are using autospec. I read through the mock source code but couldn't find the reason.

Yeah autospec is a bit convoluted... IIRC we can't use autospec with classmethod (or staticmethod) for example.
