Testing an attribute (which is not a method) (fix date: July 1st) about pythonwhat HOT 5 CLOSED

data.values is not a function. Why don't you just test_object(data_array)? If you want to test the values column of data for some reason (I don't see why, but say you want to), you can use test_data_frame().

You may have misunderstood: i want to test specifically that the student knows how to use attributes.

Neither test_object(data_array) nor test_data_frame() achieves this. Just as test_function tests whether a function was used, I want to test whether a particular attribute of an object was called. I suppose some sort of analogue of a potential test_attribute_called . For a workaround, I could do some sort of funny regex business, I suppose.

does this make sense?

@hugobowne we'll try to get this in production by July 1st.
For the time being, you can indeed do workaround with regexes. If you tell the student exactly how to name the object, this is pretty robust.

We'll write a more general function: test_object_accessed(), that checks whether people use certain objects, or attributes in objects.

this is awesome! :-D
