Mock objects for file system classes

Since the file system is an external resource that assumes an underlying reality, it is a hard thing to mock in test cases. However it is also relatively slow, so having a good mock makes good test cases much more usable. Therefore we go to great lenght here to have a full set of mock classes for all file system related objects.

Class	`MockFolder`	Undocumented
Class	`MockFS`	Undocumented
Class	`MockFSNode`	Undocumented
Class	`MockFSObjectBase`	Undocumented

Function	`os_native_path`	No summary

def clone_mock_object(source, target): (source)

Similar to copyto, but used to copy to a mock object that belongs to another mock filesystem hierarchy.

Parameters
source	a `MockFile` or `MockFolder`
target	another `MockFile` or `MockFolder`

def os_native_path(unixpath, drive='M:'): (source)

Adapts unix style paths for windows if needed For file paths starting with "/" and "file:///" URIs a drive letter is added and path seperators are converted if needed. Used for convenience to of writing cross-platform test cases Called automatically when constructing a MockFile or MockFolder object

Parameters
unixpath	the (mock) unix path as a string
drive	Undocumented
