In my pyramid app, I created the following shortcut to access the user instance corresponding to request.authenticated_userid:
request.authenticated_user
defined by
config.add_request_method(lambda request: M.User.get(
request.database, request.authenticated_userid
), 'authenticated_user', reify=True)
I also have a pytest fixture that mimics a request instance using testing.DummyRequest. I wanted to add a property to the request instance that preserved the functionality of request.authenticated_user.
A quick search on StackOverflow provided some clues, which I have summarized in the following snippet.
class A(object):
pass
a = A()
a.__class__.f = property(lambda self: 57)
a.f
Returning to the issue at hand, I was able to apply the newfound knowledge to achieve the desired effect.
users_request.__class__.authenticated_user = property(
lambda self: M.User.get(self.database, self.authenticated_userid))
