Django - Testing Django Applications

Identify the error in this test code snippet:

from unittest.mock import patch

@patch('external.api.get_data')
def test_api():
    response = get_data()
    assert response == 'mocked'

APatch decorator is missing parentheses

Bget_data is not imported or defined in test scope

CMock return value is not set

DPatch target string is incorrect

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check function usage inside test
The test calls get_data() but get_data is not imported or defined in the test scope.
Step 2: Understand patch does not import function
Patch replaces the function where it is used, but the test must have get_data accessible to call it.
Final Answer:
get_data is not imported or defined in test scope -> Option B
Quick Check:
Function must be accessible to call after patch [OK]

Quick Trick: Import or define function before calling in test [OK]
