I am using the tenacity library to use its @retry decorator. I am using this to make a function which makes a HTTP-request "repeat" multiple times in case of failure. Here is a simple code snippet: @retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(7), wait=wait_random_exponential(multiplier=1, max=60)) def func(): ... requests.post(...) The function uses the tenacity wait-argument to wait some time in between calls. The function together with the @retry-decorator seems to work fine. But I also have a unit-test which checks that the function gets called indeed 7 times in case of a failure. This test takes a lot of time because of this wait in beetween tries. Is it possible to somehow disable the wait-time only in the unit-test? Continue reading...
