  • Added checks for mocking best practices (#27). A new mocking checker has been added to the pylint plugin for Databricks to improve the quality of unit tests by enforcing best practices in mocking. This checker introduces two rules: explicit-dependency-required and obscure-mock. The explicit-dependency-required rule encourages injecting dependencies through constructors instead of using mock.patch, promoting code readability, maintainability, and dependency inversion for unit testing. The obscure-mock rule recommends using create_autospec(ConcreteType) over MagicMock to create mock objects that behave like concrete classes, resulting in more robust and maintainable unit tests. These rules can be configured to specify package names containing project code. This addition helps developers create reliable, maintainable, and testable code by adhering to recommended mocking practices.
