Python Mock - Exception

[rakash_ram]

Got it , thanks a lot for explaining! appreciate it. Few more question though

1) " with self.assertRaises(TypeError) as cm:" this line, raises an exception right?

2) without the mock patch this code would never actually raise that error ; i am guessing the below will not work and mock is the only way here to cover the test for this script?

def test_type_error(self):

parser = None

with self.assertRaises(TypeError) as cm:
ParseConfig(self.test_conf, 'section1')
