The reset_mock method resets all the call attributes on a mock object:
+ .. doctest::
+
>>> mock = Mock(return_value=None)
>>> mock('hello')
>>> mock.called
>>> mock.called
False
- .. versionchanged:: 3.6
- Added two keyword-only arguments to the reset_mock function.
-
This can be useful where you want to make a series of assertions that
- reuse the same object. Note that :meth:`reset_mock` *doesn't* clear the
+ reuse the same object.
+
+ *return_value* parameter when set to ``True`` resets :attr:`return_value`:
+
+ .. doctest::
+
+ >>> mock = Mock(return_value=5)
+ >>> mock('hello')
+ 5
+ >>> mock.reset_mock(return_value=True)
+ >>> mock('hello') # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+ <Mock name='mock()' id='...'>
+
+ *side_effect* parameter when set to ``True`` resets :attr:`side_effect`:
+
+ .. doctest::
+
+ >>> mock = Mock(side_effect=ValueError)
+ >>> mock('hello')
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ ValueError
+ >>> mock.reset_mock(side_effect=True)
+ >>> mock('hello') # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+ <Mock name='mock()' id='...'>
+
+ Note that :meth:`reset_mock` *doesn't* clear the
:attr:`return_value`, :attr:`side_effect` or any child attributes you have
- set using normal assignment by default. In case you want to reset
- :attr:`return_value` or :attr:`side_effect`, then pass the corresponding
- parameter as ``True``. Child mocks and the return value mock
- (if any) are reset as well.
