mock.patch applied at class level behaves incorrectly

Bug report

When applying @mock.patch to classes where the test_ method is inherited, this applies the patch to the base class,, instead of to the specific class. In this case, the patch to the g method applies in MockedFTests and MockedFStraightGTests.

# a.py
import unittest
from unittest import mock

def f():
    return 41

def g():
    return 43

class BaseFTests(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_a(self):
        self._asserts(f())

    def _asserts(self, val):
        print(self, val)

@mock.patch('a.f', new=lambda: 2)
class MockedFTests(BaseFTests):
    def _asserts(self, val):
        print(self, val)
        self.assertEqual(val, 2)
        self.assertEqual(g(), 43)

@mock.patch('a.g', new=lambda: 3)
class MockedFMockedGTests(MockedFTests):
    def _asserts(self, val):
        print(self, val)
        self.assertEqual(val, g()-1)

class MockedFStraightGTests(MockedFTests):
    def _asserts(self, val):
        print(self, val)
        self.assertEqual(val, 2)
        self.assertEqual(g(), 43)

Expect all tests to pass.
Actual output: 2 tests fail with error AssertionError: 3 != 43

Inizia riproducendo l’esempio in un piccolo modulo usando unittest.mock.patch, concentrandoti sui metodi test_ ereditati e sulle classi BaseFTests, MockedFTests, MockedFMockedGTests e MockedFStraightGTests. Traccia il comportamento delle patch a livello di classe in unittest.mock e aggiungi un test di regressione per il caso di ereditarietà segnalato. Il lavoro è completo quando i test dell’esempio passano senza applicare la patch della sottoclasse alle classi sorelle.
