[New-bugs-announce] [issue41628] All unittest.mock autospec-generated methods are coroutine functions

[Tom Most]

New submission from Tom Most <bugs.python.org at freecog.net>:

Given a class:

    class Foo:
        def bar(self):
            pass

And an autospec'd mock of it:

    foo_mock = mock.create_autospec(spec=Foo)

The result of `asyncio.iscoroutinefunction()` differs:

    asyncio.iscoroutinefunction(Foo.bar)        # -> False
    asyncio.iscoroutinefunction(foo_mock.bar)   # -> True

This behavior is the same on Python 3.7 and 3.8.

I've attached a demonstration script, repro4.py. Here is the output on Python 3.7.9:

$ python3.7 repro4.py 
baz is a coroutine function?                        False
Foo.bar is a coroutine function?                    False
foo_instance.bar is a coroutine function?           False
baz_mock is a coroutine function?                   False
foo_mock.bar is a coroutine function?               True
foo_mock_instance.bar is a coroutine function?      True
foo_mock_mock.bar is a coroutine function?          False
foo_mock_mock_instance.bar is a coroutine function? False
foo_mock_instance.bar()      ->  <MagicMock name='mock().bar()' id='140602586963280'>
foo_mock_mock_instance.bar() ->  <Mock name='mock().bar()' id='140602587010192'>

And on Python 3.8.2:

python3.8 repro4.py 
baz is a coroutine function?                        False
Foo.bar is a coroutine function?                    False
foo_instance.bar is a coroutine function?           False
baz_mock is a coroutine function?                   False
foo_mock.bar is a coroutine function?               True
foo_mock_instance.bar is a coroutine function?      True
foo_mock_mock.bar is a coroutine function?          True
foo_mock_mock_instance.bar is a coroutine function? False
foo_mock_instance.bar()      ->  <MagicMock name='mock().bar()' id='139847100001728'>
foo_mock_mock_instance.bar() ->  <Mock name='mock().bar()' id='139847100037968'>
