patch, patch.object and create_autospec silently ignore misspelled
arguments such as autospect, auto_spec and set_spec. This can lead
to tests failing to check what they are supposed to check.
This change adds a check causing a RuntimeError if the above
functions get any of the above misspellings as arguments. It also
adds a new argument, "unsafe", which can be set to True to disable
this check.
Also add "!r" to format specifiers in added error messages.
This is a follow-up to
4662fa9bfe.
That original commit expanded guards against misspelling assertions on
mocks. This follow-up updates the documentation and improves the error
message by pointing out the potential cause and solution.

Currently, a Mock object which is not unsafe will raise an
AttributeError if an attribute with the prefix assert or assret is
accessed on it. This protects against misspellings of real assert
method calls, which lead to tests passing silently even if the tested
code does not satisfy the intended assertion.
Recently a check was done in a large code base (Google) and three
more frequent ways of misspelling assert were found causing harm:
asert, aseert, assrt. These are now added to the existing check.
* use the `: pass` and `: yield` patterns for code that isn't expected to ever be executed.
* The _Call items passed to _AnyComparer are only ever of length two, so assert instead of if/else
* fix typo
* Fix bug, where stop-without-start patching dict blows up with `TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable`, highlighted by lack of coverage of an except branch.
* The fix for bpo-37972 means _Call.count and _Call.index are no longer needed.
* add coverage for calling next() on a mock_open with readline.return_value set.
* __aiter__ is defined on the Mock so the one on _AsyncIterator is never called.
The fix in PR 13261 handled the underlying issue about the spec for specific methods not being applied correctly, but it didn't fix the issue that was causing the misleading error message.
The code currently grabs a list of responses from _call_matcher (which may include exceptions). But it doesn't reach inside the list when checking if the result is an exception. This results in a misleading error message when one of the provided calls does not match the spec.

In the format string for assert_called the evaluation order is incorrect and hence for mock's without name, 'None' is printed whereas it should be 'mock' like for other messages. The error message is ("Expected '%s' to have been called." % self._mock_name or 'mock').
* Fix call_matcher for mock when using methods
* Add NEWS entry
* Use None check and convert doctest to unittest
* Use better name for mock in tests. Handle _SpecState when the attribute was not accessed and add tests.
* Use reset_mock instead of reinitialization. Change inner class constructor signature for check
* Reword comment regarding call object lookup logic
* Clear name and parent of mock in autospecced objects used with attach_mock
* Add NEWS entry
* Fix reversed order of comparison
* Test child and standalone function calls
* Use a helper function extracting mock to avoid code duplication and refactor tests.
This was achieved by:
* moving many pass statements in tests onto their own lines, so they pass line coverage and can match an easy ignore pattern if branch coverage is added later.
* removing code that cannot be reached.
* removing long-disabled tests.
* removing unused code.
* adding tests for uncovered code
It turned out that removing `if __name__ == '__main__'` blocks that run unittest.main() at the bottom of test files was surprisingly contentious, so they remain and can be filtered out with an appropriate .coveragerc.
When an attribute is deleted from a Mock, a sentinel is added rather
than just deleting the attribute. This commit checks for such sentinels
when returning the child mocks in the __dir__ method as users won't
expect deleted attributes to appear when performing dir(mock).
In Python having a trace function in effect while mock is imported causes isinstance to be wrong for MagicMocks. This is due to the usage of super() in some class methods, as this sets the __class__ attribute. To avoid this, as a workaround, alias the usage of super .
* tests: Further validate `wraps` functionality in `unittest.mock.Mock`
Add more tests to validate how `wraps` interacts with other features of
mocks.
* Don't call the wrapped object if `side_effect` is set
When a object is wrapped using `Mock(wraps=...)`, if an user sets a
`side_effect` in one of their methods, return the value of `side_effect`
and don't call the original object.
* Refactor what to be called on `mock_call`
When a `Mock` is called, it should return looking up in the following
order: `side_effect`, `return_value`, `wraps`. If any of the first two
return `mock.DEFAULT`, lookup in the next option.
It makes no sense to check for `wraps` returning default, as it is
supposed to be the original implementation and there is nothing to
fallback to.
