I just had to make this change because amazingly it had two innocuous bugs:
-------
def test_write_full_dns_doesnt_call_task_it_no_interface_configured(self):
self.patch(settings, 'DNS_CONNECT', True)
- patched_task = self.patch(tasks, 'write_full_dns_config')
+ patched_task = self.patch(dns.tasks.write_full_dns_config, "delay")
dns.write_full_dns_config()
self.assertEqual(0, patched_task.call_count)
-------
Bug #1: Was naively patching the global "tasks" when it should be
patching the one that the dns module imported.
Bug #2: When patching out celery jobs, you need to patch the delay() call.
