in order to automatically generate parameterized tests, I am trying to add methods to a class in by freezing some parameters of an existing method. Here is the piece of Python 3 code
class A:
def f(self, n):
print(n)
params = range(10)
for i in params:
name = 'f{0}'.format(i)
method = lambda self: A.f(self, i)
setattr(A, name, method)
However, the following lines then produce rather disappointing output
a = A()
a.f0()
prints "9" (instead of "0"). I must be doing something wrong, but I can't see what. Can you help ?
Thanks a lot
Edit: this question is indeed a duplicate. I would like to acknowledge the quality of all comments, which go much deeper than the raw answer.
Try
method = lambda self, i=i: A.f(self, i)
because otherwise when you call the method i
's value may have changed
