For a recent Plone project we needed to write unit tests for methods that were using plone.memoize for caching return values.
With a standard Plone’s PloneTestCase I got the following error:
Error in test test_main_image (niteoweb.elcond.tests.test_stol.TestContent)
Traceback (most recent call last):

annotations = IAnnotations(request)
TypeError: ('Could not adapt', None, <InterfaceClass zope.annotation.interfaces.IAnnotations>)
The cause of the problem is that TestRequest (used by PloneTestCase) does not allow IAnnotations adapter to store data in an attribute named __annotations__. The solution is to add the lines below to afterSetUp() method of your TestCase.
from zope.annotation.interfaces import IAttributeAnnotatable from zope.interface import directlyProvides from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest request = TestRequest() directlyProvides(request, IAttributeAnnotatable)
