# One-and only instance of mocked Vim object. The first 'import vim' that is
# executed binds the vim module to the instance of MagicMock that is created,
# and subsquent assignments to sys.modules[ 'vim' ] don't retrospectively update
# them. The result is that while running the tests, we must assign only one
# instance of MagicMock to sys.modules[ 'vim' ] and always return it.

# More explanation is available:

  """The 'vim' module is something that is only present when running inside the
  Vim Python interpreter, so we replace it with a MagicMock for tests. If you
  need to add additional mocks to vim module functions, then use 'patch' from
  mock module, to ensure that the state of the vim mock is returned before the
  next test. That is:

    from ycm.test_utils import MockVimModule
    from mock import patch

    # Do this once
    MockVimModule()

    @patch( 'vim.eval', return_value='test' )

    def test( vim_command, vim_eval ):
      # use vim.command via vim_command, e.g.:
      vim_command.assert_has_calls( ... )

  Failure to use this approach may lead to unexpected failures in other
  tests."""
