如何测试使用相同路径查找和创建文件的函数，以便它在临时目录中创建？

Question

我想使用 Pytest 为函数编写测试。该函数获取一个 id，通过它找到视频文件的路径，然后在视频文件夹中创建另一个文件夹（将一些新文件放入其中）。这是函数：

def foo(id):
    root_dir = find_local_dir(id) # finds the path to the video file 
    video_file = root_dir / 'video.mp4'
    out_dir = root_dir / 'foo'
    out_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

我在tests目录下有一个视频，我想用它来测试，我使用monkeypatch来防止函数根据id寻找视频。但我不知道如何让它在 tests 中获取视频并在 tmp 中创建新文件夹，不更改 foo.

我试图将视频从 tests 复制到 tmp_path，但这不起作用：

def test_foo(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
    id = '1234'

    mock = MagicMock()
    mock.return_value = tmp_path
    monkeypatch.setattr(pipeline, 'find_local_dir', mock)
    
    copy2('coffee.mp4', tmp_path / 'video.mp4')

    var = pipeline.foo(id)

我的错误是FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

我猜复制没有成功？（我对 Pytest 有点陌生，所以我不知道这是否可行。）

我很乐意用任何其他方法来解决这个问题而不改变 foo。

谢谢。

编辑：

def find_local_dir(id):
    local_dir = Path(f'/tmp/{id}')
    local_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    return local_dir

I have a video in the tests directory which I would like to use for testing

所以我假设您已经有一个 tests 目录，我们可以将其用作测试的临时目录。现在，我们需要控制的只是 find_local_dir() 的输出指向 tests 目录，因为

这是video.mp4所在的地方
这是创建目录 foo 的地方

文件树

def find_local_dir(id):
    local_dir = Path(f'/tmp/{id}')

def foo(id):
    root_dir = find_local_dir(id) # finds the path to the video file 
    video_file = root_dir / 'video.mp4'
    out_dir = root_dir / 'foo'
    out_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

    # Let's add a print to see the location of the video file
    print(f"{video_file=}")

    local_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

    yield local_dir

    # Optionally, delete the temporary directory used for testing
    rmtree(local_dir)


def test_foo(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
    id = '1234'

    mock = MagicMock()
    mock.return_value = tmp_path
    monkeypatch.setattr(pipeline, 'find_local_dir', mock)

    copy2('./tests/coffee.mp4', tmp_path / 'video.mp4')

    pipeline.foo(id)

    # Remove this line. It is just here so that we can see the files before deletion.
    time.sleep(10)

运行测试

$ pytest -q -rP

测试进行时的文件树

$ tree
.
├── pipeline.py
└── tests
    ├── coffee.mp4
    ├── test_pipeline.py
    └── tmp
        ├── foo
        └── video.mp4

测试完成后的文件树

$ tree
.
├── pipeline.py
└── tests
    ├── coffee.mp4
    └── test_pipeline.py

如您所见，视频文件的位置是正确的 tests/tmp/video.mp4。新目录也在 tests/tmp/foo 处正确创建。然后在测试结束的时候，临时的tests/tmp/被删除了
