I think this should be handled in _check_and_set_parent where if value's type is FunctionType then value.mock should be used against which parent and name should be set since create_autospec returns function with mock attached to 'mock' attribute and all helper methods attached. There could be a case where a function is directly attached to mock where value will be of FunctionType but value.mock will not be set since it's not created with create_autospec and the AttributeError has to silenced. I think the below patch will handle both scenarios. This doesn't cause any test failure and hence it will be good to convert the original report as a unit test. Feedback welcome on the approach. I will raise a PR with tests and I am updating the relevant versions where this fix can be applied.
Sample program
from unittest import mock
def foo(a, b):
pass
parent = mock.Mock()
a = mock.create_autospec(foo)
parent.child = a # 'a' is FunctionType and has a.mock attribute set (create_autospec -> _set_signature -> _setup_func)
parent.child_func = foo # 'foo' is FunctionType with no mock attribute set that could cause AttributeError
parent.child(1, 2) # Recorded
parent.child_func(2, 3) # Not recorded since it's actual call to child_func and has no parent set due to AttributeError
print(parent.method_calls) # [call.child(1, 2)]
