説明
Mocks and MagicMocks from the unittest.mock packages cannot be pickled, which means that unittests that call multiprocessing code with a mock will fail. Example:
from unittest.mock import Mock, MagicMock
import pickle
class Foo:
pass
pickle.dumps(Mock(spec=Foo))
pickle.dumps(MagicMock(spec=Foo))
Both of the pickle.dumps commands at the bottom raise: PicklingError: args[0] from __newobj__ args has the wrong class. The same exception is raised when calling e.g. multiprocess.starmap where one of the starmap parameters is the mocked object, but it took me quite some time to dig into the starmap arguments to figure this out.
I'm running python version 3.10.6.
This appears to be the same issue as described in #58782, but that was closed in 2012 with an implication that this is intended behavior, and "it looks like implementing __reduce__ is sufficient for my use case", but no explanation of how to properly implement said __reduce__. At the very least, including some information in e.g. the unittest.mock or pickle documentation about how to work around this would be very useful.
