将整数与MagicMock进行比较在python的unittest中不起作用

我有一个类，它使用类变量来选择要执行的逻辑。

#in file1:

class SomeHelper():
    def __init__(self):
        self.my_var = 0

#in file2: 
import file1
class MyClass():
    ...
    ...
    def calculate():
        inst = file1.SomeHelper()
        if x > inst.my_var:
           etc etc

我正在编写一个单元测试并在另一个文件中模拟 SomeHelper() ：

from file 2 import MyClass
# tried both
@patch('file2.file1') OR @patch('file2.file1.SomeHelper')
def test_calculate(self, mock_helper):
    mock_helper.my_var = 0
    to_test = MyClass.calculate()

我收到以下错误：

类型错误：“MagicMock”和“int”实例之间不支持“>”。

我以为我定义了my_var在我修补模块之后。

这是单元测试解决方案Python 3.7.5:

file1.py:

class SomeHelper():
    def __init__(self):
        self.my_var = 0

file2.py:

import file1


class MyClass():
    @classmethod
    def calculate(cls):
        x = 1
        inst = file1.SomeHelper()
        if x > inst.my_var:
            return True
        return False

test_file2.py:

import unittest
from unittest.mock import patch
from file2 import MyClass


class TestMyClass(unittest.TestCase):
    @patch('file2.file1')
    def test_calculate(self, mock_file1):
        inst = mock_file1.SomeHelper.return_value
        inst.my_var = 0.5
        to_test = MyClass.calculate()
        self.assertTrue(to_test)
        mock_file1.SomeHelper.assert_called_once()

    @patch('file2.file1')
    def test_calculate_2(self, mock_file1):
        inst = mock_file1.SomeHelper.return_value
        inst.my_var = 2
        to_test = MyClass.calculate()
        self.assertFalse(to_test)
        mock_file1.SomeHelper.assert_called_once()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
