Overriding retry values for testing

[jonatanskogsfors]

Calling a function decorated with @retry in a unittest can potentially take a long while if you want to test error handling. Is there (or could there be) a convenient way to override e.g. delay? Since the decorators are run at import (right?) it is not as easy as using a constant.

@patch.object(retry.api.time, 'sleep')

If you're using pytest, you can drop this in conftest.py:

@pytest.fixture(scope='session', autouse=True)
def patch_retry():
  with mock.patch.object(retry.api.time, 'sleep'):
    yield
