Alternative to mock_calls for awaits in AsyncMock

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

I’d like to have an alternative to mock_calls for awaited coroutines to AsyncMock.

Mock.mock_calls contain all calls to the mock and its children. When used on AsyncMock, the mock_calls record is added when coroutine is created, regardless of whether it was awaited. Awaits can be checked using assert_await* methods or await_* attributes, but those only record the mock itself and there is no option to check awaits on the AsyncMock and its children at once.

The best case scenario, it should be possible to switch from sync version

mock = Mock()
mock(sentinel.foo)
assert mock.mock_calls == [call(sentinel.foo)]

to async version

mock = AsyncMock()
await mock(sentinel.foo)
assert mock.mock_awaits == [call(sentinel.foo)]

Since I commonly use mock_calls checks in tests and there is no alternative for awaits, I tend to use it also for async code and omit the checks for awaits. I’m afraid that I may miss some awaits this way.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse

Inizia leggendo gli entry point AsyncMock e Mock.mock_calls, insieme ai metodi assert_await* e agli attributi await_* esistenti. Esamina la discussione Discourse collegata per il contesto della progettazione precedente; il lavoro è completo quando esistono un’API concordata e il comportamento corrispondente in grado di verificare gli await su un AsyncMock e sui suoi figli.
