# Aider chat conversation:
USER: do the todo
ASSISTANT: To complete the TODO, we need to mock the return value of the function `aider.sendchat.send_with_retries`. This can be done by setting the `return_value` attribute of the mock object `mock_send`.
Here is the change:
```python
tests/test_repo.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
@patch("aider.sendchat.send_with_retries")
def test_get_commit_message(self, mock_send):
# TODO: make aider.sendchat.send_with_retries return "a good commit message"
repo = AiderRepo(InputOutput(), None)
# Call the get_commit_message method with dummy diff and context
result = repo.get_commit_message("dummy diff", "dummy context")
# Assert that the returned message is the expected one
self.assertEqual(result, "a good commit_message")
=======
@patch("aider.sendchat.send_with_retries")
def test_get_commit_message(self, mock_send):

mock_send.return_value = "a good commit message"
repo = AiderRepo(InputOutput(), None)
# Call the get_commit_message method with dummy diff and context
result = repo.get_commit_message("dummy diff", "dummy context")
# Assert that the returned message is the expected one
self.assertEqual(result, "a good commit message")
