How to mock aiohttp.client.ClientSession.get async

I have some troubles with mocking aiohttp.client.ClientSession.get context manager. I found some articles and here is one example that seems was working: article 1

So my code that I want to test:

async_app.py

import random
from aiohttp.client import ClientSession

async def get_random_photo_url():
    while True:
        async with ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get('random.photos') as resp:
                json = await resp.json()
        photos = json['photos']
        if not photos:
            continue
        return random.choice(photos)['img_src']

And test:

test_async_app.py

from asynctest import CoroutineMock, MagicMock, patch

from asynctest import TestCase as TestCaseAsync

from async_app import get_random_photo_url


class AsyncContextManagerMock(MagicMock):
    async def __aenter__(self):
        return self.aenter

    async def __aexit__(self, *args):
        pass

class TestAsyncExample(TestCaseAsync):
    @patch('aiohttp.client.ClientSession.get', new_callable=AsyncContextManagerMock)
    async def test_call_api_again_if_photos_not_found(self, mock_get):
        mock_get.return_value.aenter.json = CoroutineMock(side_effect=[{'photos': []},
                                                                       {'photos': [{'img_src': 'a.jpg'}]}])

        image_url = await get_random_photo_url()

        assert mock_get.call_count == 2
        assert mock_get.return_value.aenter.json.call_count == 2
        assert image_url == 'a.jpg'

When I'm running test, I'm getting an error:

So I've tried to debug - here is what I can see:

So what is proper way to mock async context manager ?

In your link, there is an edit:

EDIT: A GitHub issue mentioned in this post has been resolved and as of version 0.11.1 asynctest supports asynchronous context managers out of the box.

Since asynctest==0.11.1, it was changed, a working example is:

import random
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from asynctest import CoroutineMock, patch

async def get_random_photo_url():
    while True:
        async with ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get('random.photos') as resp:
                json = await resp.json()
        photos = json['photos']
        if not photos:
            continue
        return random.choice(photos)['img_src']

@patch('aiohttp.ClientSession.get')
async def test_call_api_again_if_photos_not_found(mock_get):   
    mock_get.return_value.__aenter__.return_value.json = CoroutineMock(side_effect=[
        {'photos': []}, {'photos': [{'img_src': 'a.jpg'}]}
    ])

    image_url = await get_random_photo_url()

    assert mock_get.call_count == 2
    assert mock_get.return_value.__aenter__.return_value.json.call_count == 2
    assert image_url == 'a.jpg'

The critical problem is that you need to correctly mock function json as by default it is a MagicMock instance. To get access to this function, you need mock_get.return_value.__aenter__.return_value.json.
