I can't get minimock and nosetests to play nice

[Matthew Wilson]

I'm curious if anyone has ever tried using nosetests along with
minimock.

I'm trying to get the two to play nice and not making progress.  I
also wonder if I'm using minimock incorrectly.

Here's the code I want to test, saved in a file dtfun.py.

    class Chicken(object):
       "I am a chicken."
       def x(self): return 1
       def z(self): return 1

    def g():

       """
       Verify that we call method x on an instance of the Chicken class.

       # First set up the mockery.
       >>> from minimock import Mock
       >>> Chicken = Mock('Chicken')
       >>> Chicken.mock_returns = Mock('instance_of_chicken')

       Now this stuff is the real test.
       >>> g()
       Called Chicken()
       Called instance_of_chicken.x()
       """

       # This is what the function does.
       c = Chicken()
       c.x()

    if __name__ == "__main__":

       # First set up the mockery.
       from minimock import Mock
       Chicken = Mock('Chicken')
       Chicken.mock_returns = Mock('instance_of_chicken')

       # Now run the tests.
       import doctest
       doctest.testmod()

Here's the results when I run the code using doctest.testmod (which
passes) and nosetests --with-doctest (KABOOM):

$ python dtfun.py # Nothing is a good thing here.

$ nosetests --with-doctest dtfun.py

It seems like nose isn't building the mock objects.

Any ideas?
