I want to pin Datetime.now in Django tests

Introduction

I really wanted to fix Datetime.now (timezone.now) when I was making a Django test. That memo.

things to do

code

Code to test

test_app/views.py


from django.utils import timezone
...

def hogehoge():
    #Get the current time including the time zone ex. datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 30, 15, 35, 29, 482661, tzinfo=<UTC>)
    return timezone.now()

I want to test code like this.

Test code

test_app/tests.py


from unittest import mock
...

class TestClass(TestCase):
    @mock.patch("test_app.views.timezone.now")
    def test_hogehoge(self, mocked_now):
        now = timezone.make_aware(timezone.datetime(2020, 10, 30, 19, 30))
        mocked_now.return_value = now  #Set return value
        r = hogehoge()
        return self.assertEqual(r, now)

This will replace timezone.now in your code with a mock.

Finally

PyCharm's auto test is convenient for testing. If you rewrite the code, it will be automatically re-executed.
