Hi,

I'm writing unitests with Trial for my app.

I use Python Mocker (http://labix.org/mocker) for making stubs and mock. It work almost fine, but I have trouble mocking static methods. It seems that Mocker does'nt work with static methods called from a callback.

If Python Mocker is failing to handle some case, it's somewhat likely that it's not a problem caused by Twisted or Trial, but a problem with Python Mocker or a problem with the way you're using it. Twisted is just a Python library, all of the normal Python rules still apply.

Which tool are you using for mocking ?

I typically avoid mocking as a testing approach, preferring verified fakes due to their reduced maintenance overhead and the fewer metaprogramming tricks required to have them work. Jean-Paul
