Moking property with execption
See original GitHub issueI would like to mock and object attribute and when the attribute is called I would like to raise an exception. I would like to do something like this:
def test(self):
element = mock()
when(element).text.thenRaise(ValueError('foo'))
But because when can only mock method, the above does not quite work. I also tried several other ways, but could not get it working. Is there a way to make the mock attribute to raise and exception?

I will very likely support
in the next version.
I agree that having cleaner support would be nicer, although if this would work
in Python unit test framework, it would be pretty clean.
But lambda can raise an exception with a trick:
