What is this?
-------------
Mongomock is a small library to help testing Python code that interacts with MongoDB via Pymongo.

To understand what it's useful for, we can take the following code:

.. code-block:: python

 def increase_votes(collection):
     for document in collection.find():
         collection.update_one(document, {'$set': {'votes': document['votes'] + 1}})

The above code can be tested in several ways:

1. It can be tested against a real mongodb instance with pymongo.
2. It can receive a record-replay style mock as an argument. In this manner we record the
   expected calls (find, and then a series of updates), and replay them later.
3. It can receive a carefully hand-crafted mock responding to find() and update() appropriately.

Option number 1 is obviously the best approach here, since we are testing against a real mongodb
instance. However, a mongodb instance needs to be set up for this, and cleaned before/after the
test. You might want to run your tests in continuous integration servers, on your laptop, or
other bizarre platforms - which makes the mongodb requirement a liability.

We are left with #2 and #3. Unfortunately they are very high maintenance in real scenarios,
since they replicate the series of calls made in the code, violating the DRY rule. Let's see
#2 in action - we might write our test like so:

.. code-block:: python

 def test_increase_votes():
     objects = [dict(...), dict(...), ...]
     collection_mock = my_favorite_mock_library.create_mock(Collection)
     record()
     collection_mock.find().AndReturn(objects)
     for obj in objects:
         collection_mock.update_one(obj, {'$set': {'votes': obj['votes']}})
     replay()
     increase_votes(collection_mock)
     verify()

Let's assume the code changes one day, because the author just learned about the '$inc' instruction:

.. code-block:: python

 def increase_votes(collection):
     collection.update_many({}, {'$inc': {'votes': 1}})

This breaks the test, although the end result being tested is just the same. The test also repeats
large portions of the code we already wrote.

We are left, therefore, with option #3 -- you want something to behave like a mongodb database
collection, without being one. This is exactly what this library aims to provide. With mongomock,
the test simply becomes:

.. code-block:: python

 def test_increase_votes():
     collection = mongomock.MongoClient().db.collection
     objects = [dict(votes=1), dict(votes=2), ...]
     for obj in objects:
         obj['_id'] = collection.insert_one(obj).inserted_id
     increase_votes(collection)
     for obj in objects:
         stored_obj = collection.find_one({'_id': obj['_id']})
         stored_obj['votes'] -= 1
         assert stored_obj == obj # by comparing all fields we make sure only votes changed

This code checks *increase_votes* with respect to its functionality, not syntax or algorithm, and
therefore is much more robust as a test.

If the code to be tested is creating the connection itself with pymongo, you can use
mongomock.patch (NOTE: you should use :code:`pymongo.MongoClient(...)` rather than
:code:`from pymongo import MongoClient`, as shown below):

.. code-block:: python

  @mongomock.patch(servers=(('server.example.com', 27017),))
  def test_increate_votes_endpoint():
    objects = [dict(votes=1), dict(votes=2), ...]
    client = pymongo.MongoClient('server.example.com')
    client.db.collection.insert_many(objects)
    call_endpoint('/votes')
    ... verify client.db.collection


Important Note About Project Status & Development
-------------------------------------------------

MongoDB is complex. This library aims at a reasonably complete mock of MongoDB for testing purposes,
not a perfect replica. This means some features are not likely to make it in any time soon.

Also, since many corner cases are encountered along the way, our goal is to try and TDD our way into
completeness. This means that every time we encounter a missing or broken (incompatible) feature, we
write a test for it and fix it. There are probably lots of such issues hiding around lurking, so feel
free to open issues and/or pull requests and help the project out!

**NOTE**: We don't include pymongo functionality as "stubs" or "placeholders". Since this library is
used to validate production code, it is unacceptable to behave differently than the real pymongo
implementation. In such cases it is better to throw `NotImplementedError` than implement a modified
version of the original behavior.

Upgrading to Pymongo v4
-----------------------

The major version 4 of Pymongo changed the API quite a bit. The Mongomock library has evolved to
help you ease the migration:

1. Upgrade to Mongomock v4 or above: if your tests are running with Pymongo installed, Mongomock
   will adapt its own API to the version of Pymongo installed.
2. Upgrade to Pymongo v4 or above: your tests using Mongomock will fail exactly where your code
   would fail in production, so that you can fix it before releasing.

Contributing
------------

When submitting a PR, please make sure that:

1. You include tests for the feature you are adding or bug you are fixing. Preferably, the test should
   compare against the real MongoDB engine (see `examples in tests`_ for reference).
2. No existing test got deleted or unintentionally castrated
3. The travis build passes on your PR.

To download, setup and perfom tests, run the following commands on Mac / Linux:

.. code-block:: bash

 git clone git@github.com:mongomock/mongomock.git
 pip install tox
 cd mongomock
 tox

Alternatively, docker-compose can be used to simplify dependency management for local development:

.. code-block:: bash

 git clone git@github.com:mongomock/mongomock.git
 cd mongomock
 docker-compose build
 docker-compose run --rm mongomock

If you need/want tox to recreate its environments, you can override the container command by running:

.. code-block:: bash

 docker-compose run --rm mongomock tox -r

Similarly, if you'd like to run tox against a specific environment in the container:

.. code-block:: bash

 docker-compose run --rm mongomock tox -e py38-pymongo-pyexecjs

NOTE: If the MongoDB image was updated, or you want to try a different MongoDB version in docker-compose,
you'll have to issue a `docker-compose down` before you do anything else to ensure you're running against
the intended version.

utcnow
~~~~

When developing features that need to make use of "now," please use the libraries :code:`utcnow` helper method
in the following way:

.. code-block:: python

   import mongomock
   # Awesome code!
   now_reference = mongomock.utcnow()

This provides users a consistent way to mock the notion of "now" in mongomock if they so choose. Please
see `utcnow docstring for more details <mongomock/helpers.py#L52>`_.

Branching model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The branching model used for this project follows the `gitflow workflow`_.  This means that pull requests
should be issued against the `develop` branch and *not* the `master` branch. If you want to contribute to
the legacy 2.x branch then your pull request should go into the `support/2.x` branch.
