Cannot chain throws

[jonathan-benn]

stub = sinon.stub().onFirstCall().throws(BaseException('Hello World')).onSecondCall().returns(42)
stub() # we expect an exception 'Hello World', instead we get an error
stub() # we expect a return value of 42, instead we get an error
stub() # we expect a return value of None, instead we get an error

I found another issue by running this code. (python3.6.2 and python2.7.10)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 13, in <module>
    stub() # we expect an exception 'Hello World', instead we get an error
  File "/Users/kir/python-dev/sinon/sinon/lib/base.py", line 134, in __call__
    self.pure_count = self.pure_count + 1
AttributeError: '_SinonStubCondition' object has no attribute 'pure_count'

In my first glance, I guess something wrong while working on remove dirty hack or __call__.

Hi Kir,

I'm investigating this issue now, I think I've figured it out and I will submit a solution soon.

I've got a question for you: what is the point of the args_type "MODULE"? It doesn't seem to do anything useful. It can't accumulate a callCount, for example. All it seems to do is create a lock so a second spy/stub can't be created. But what is the point of that?

Thanks,

"MODULE" was supposed to be used to inspect a "module/class".

For example:

>>> spy_os = sinon.spy(os)
>>> os.system('ls')
>>> os.getenv('xxx')
>>> spy_os.callCount
2

I have implemented part of those features before, but later removing most of them because it's not implemented by SinonJS (iirc, it's because of the limitation of Javascript). And as the result, some code are remained.

You can either choose to keep them or get rid of them if needed.

Hi Kir,

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll be considering the args_type = 'MODULE' to be out-of-scope for testing, since it's an incomplete feature.

I've figured out the issue. The problem was that in some cases the end user was receiving a _SinonStubCondition object, and that this object was not initializing base.py attributes like pure_count and args_type.

Here's the solution I'm proposing:

1. Remove pure_count, since it seems that it hasn't been necessary since we added the SpyCall class
2. Add @property methods to _SinonStubCondition that indirect to the _copy.

Best Regards,
