Cannot apply patch.object for parse_args() method
kniklas opened this issue · comments
It was planned to apply pytest patch.object on ArgumentParser.parse_args() method to mock command line arguments - by passing custom command line arguments (in case of test: test_USD_currency: it is ['USD'] parameter).
But this does not work, it returns below error. It appears that passed ['USD'] argument via parse.args is expected to be self object of this method,
