How to Enforce Indentation Rules From .editorconfig in Python
A mock function that reads .editorconfig-style indentation rules (spaces or tabs, size) and fixes indentation in source code lines by tracking brace depth.
def enforce_indent(editorconfig_rules, file_content):
"""
Mock function to enforce indentation rules from .editorconfig.
Returns the content with indentation fixed (or unchanged if already compliant).
"""
indent_style = editorconfig_rules.get("indent_style", "spaces")
indent_size = int(editorco…How to Mock subprocess.run for Black Formatter in Python
Use unittest.mock to simulate subprocess.run calls in a Python function that runs the Black formatter, allowing isolated testing without executing external commands.
import subprocess
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
def run_black_formatter(file_path: str, check_only: bool = False) -> dict:
"""Run black formatter on a file via subprocess."""
cmd = ["black", "--check" if check_only else "-", file_path]
result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)
