Issue python#119600: mock: do not access attributes of original when new_callable is set

rbtcollins · rbtcollins · commit d940c98f992e · 2024-06-10T14:04:29.000+02:00
In order to patch flask.g e.g. as in python#84982, that proxies getattr must not be invoked. For that, mock must not try to read from the original object. In some cases that is unavoidable, e.g. when doing autospec. However, patch("flask.g", new_callable=MagicMock) should be entirely safe.
