[memory-box] Mocking celery tasks with pytest and pytest.mock

“memory-box” is just a little personal series where I’ll share some useful snippets

# examples/views.py

from examples.tasks import send_document

from examples.forms import ExampleForm



class ExampleCreateView(CreateView):

    form_class = ExampleForm



    def form_valid(self, form):

        # ...

        send_document.delay(example.id)

        # ....

# examples/tests.py

import pytest



@pytest.mark.django_db

def test_create_example(mocker, client):

    # ....

    mock_task = mocker.patch("examples.tasks.send_document.delay")

    url = reverse("examples:example_create")



    response = client.post(url, data=form_data)



    mock_task.assert_called()
