documentation addition: mocking objects with attribute "name" #199

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Due to "name" being a argument to the MagicMock constructor, it would be useful 
to add info to the documentation about how to create a mock with an attribute 
named "name".  Possible contents for the "Attaching Mocks as Attributes" 
section:

Since "name" is an argument to the MagicMock constructor, if you want your 
object to have the attribute "name" use the configure_mock call.

>>> mock = MagicMock()
>>> mock.configure_mock(name='my_name')
>>> mock.name
'my_name'

Although this also works fine:

mock.name = 'my name'
