python unittest error and using patch from unittest.mock - python-unittest

Question

I have two python files the first one is named employee.py and this is its code
import requests
class Employee:
"""A sample Employee class"""
raise_amt = 1.05
def __init__(self, first, last, pay):
self.first = first
self.last = last
self.pay = pay
#property
def email(self):
return '{}.{}#email.com'.format(self.first, self.last)
#property
def fullname(self):
return '{} {}'.format(self.first, self.last)
def apply_raise(self):
self.pay = int(self.pay * self.raise_amt)
def monthly_schedule(self, month):
response = requests.get(f'http://company.com/{self.last}/{month}')
if response.ok:
return response.text
else:
return 'Bad Response!'
The other file is named test_employee.py
and this is its code
import unittest
from unittest.mock import patch
from employee import Employee
class TestEmployee(unittest.TestCase):
#classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
print('setupClass')
#classmethod
def tearDownClass(cls):
print('teardownClass')
def setUp(self):
print('setUp')
self.emp_1 = Employee('Corey', 'Schafer', 50000)
self.emp_2 = Employee('Sue', 'Smith', 60000)
def tearDown(self):
print('tearDown\n')
def test_email(self):
print('test_email')
self.assertEqual(self.emp_1.email, 'Corey.Schafer#email.com')
self.assertEqual(self.emp_2.email, 'Sue.Smith#email.com')
self.emp_1.first = 'John'
self.emp_2.first = 'Jane'
self.assertEqual(self.emp_1.email, 'John.Schafer#email.com')
self.assertEqual(self.emp_2.email, 'Jane.Smith#email.com')
def test_fullname(self):
print('test_fullname')
self.assertEqual(self.emp_1.fullname, 'Corey Schafer')
self.assertEqual(self.emp_2.fullname, 'Sue Smith')
self.emp_1.first = 'John'
self.emp_2.first = 'Jane'
self.assertEqual(self.emp_1.fullname, 'John Schafer')
self.assertEqual(self.emp_2.fullname, 'Jane Smith')
def test_apply_raise(self):
print('test_apply_raise')
self.emp_1.apply_raise()
self.emp_2.apply_raise()
self.assertEqual(self.emp_1.pay, 52500)
self.assertEqual(self.emp_2.pay, 63000)
def test_monthly_schedule(self):
with patch('employee.requests.get') as mocked_get:
mocked_get.return_value.ok = True
mocked_get.return_value.text = 'Success'
schedule = self.emp_1.monthly_schedule('May')
mocked_get.assert_called_with('http://company.com/Schafer/May')
self.assertEqual(schedule,'Success')
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
when I run test_employee.py, I get this error
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'employee.requests'; 'employee' is not a package
The code runs well if you delete the function test_monthly_schedule from test_employee.py
and delete monthly_schedule from employee.py
also I do not know if that will make a difference, but I use python 3.8. Also, I'm using Mac
