module Mocha::API

Methods added to Test::Unit::TestCase or equivalent.

Public Instance Methods

mock(name, &block) → mock object click to toggle source
mock(expected_methods = {}, &block) → mock object
mock(name, expected_methods = {}, &block) → mock object

Creates a mock object.

name is a String identifier for the mock object.

expected_methods is a Hash with expected method name symbols as keys and corresponding return values as values.

Note that (contrary to expectations set up by #stub) these expectations must be fulfilled during the test.

def test_product
  product = mock('ipod_product', :manufacturer => 'ipod', :price => 100)
  assert_equal 'ipod', product.manufacturer
  assert_equal 100, product.price
  # an error will be raised unless both Product#manufacturer and Product#price have been called
end

block is an optional block to be evaluated against the mock object instance, giving an alernative way to set up expectations & stubs.

def test_product
  product = mock('ipod_product') do
    expects(:manufacturer).returns('ipod')
    expects(:price).returns(100)
  end
  assert_equal 'ipod', product.manufacturer
  assert_equal 100, product.price
  # an error will be raised unless both Product#manufacturer and Product#price have been called
end
# File lib/mocha/api.rb, line 40
def mock(*arguments, &block)
  name = arguments.shift if arguments.first.is_a?(String)
  expectations = arguments.shift || {}
  mock = name ? Mockery.instance.named_mock(name, &block) : Mockery.instance.unnamed_mock(&block)
  mock.expects(expectations)
  mock
end
sequence(name) → sequence click to toggle source

Returns a new sequence that is used to constrain the order in which expectations can occur.

Specify that an expected invocation must occur in within a named sequence by using Mocha::Expectation#in_sequence.

See also Mocha::Expectation#in_sequence.

breakfast = sequence('breakfast')

egg = mock('egg')
egg.expects(:crack).in_sequence(breakfast)
egg.expects(:fry).in_sequence(breakfast)
egg.expects(:eat).in_sequence(breakfast)
# File lib/mocha/api.rb, line 122
def sequence(name)
  Sequence.new(name)
end
states(name) → state_machine click to toggle source

Returns a new state_machine that is used to constrain the order in which expectations can occur.

Specify the initial state of the state_machine by using Mocha::StateMachine#starts_as.

Specify that an expected invocation should change the state of the state_machine by using Mocha::Expectation#then.

Specify that an expected invocation should be constrained to occur within a particular state by using Mocha::Expectation#when.

A test can contain multiple state_machines.

See also Mocha::Expectation#then, Mocha::Expectation#when and StateMachine.

power = states('power').starts_as('off')

radio = mock('radio')
radio.expects(:switch_on).then(power.is('on'))
radio.expects(:select_channel).with('BBC Radio 4').when(power.is('on'))
radio.expects(:adjust_volume).with(+5).when(power.is('on'))
radio.expects(:select_channel).with('BBC World Service').when(power.is('on'))
radio.expects(:adjust_volume).with(-5).when(power.is('on'))
radio.expects(:switch_off).then(power.is('off'))
# File lib/mocha/api.rb, line 148
def states(name)
  Mockery.instance.new_state_machine(name)
end
stub(name, &block) → mock object click to toggle source
stub(stubbed_methods = {}, &block) → mock object
stub(name, stubbed_methods = {}, &block) → mock object

Creates a mock object.

name is a String identifier for the mock object.

stubbed_methods is a Hash with stubbed method name symbols as keys and corresponding return values as values. Note that (contrary to expectations set up by #mock) these expectations need not be fulfilled during the test.

def test_product
  product = stub('ipod_product', :manufacturer => 'ipod', :price => 100)
  assert_equal 'ipod', product.manufacturer
  assert_equal 100, product.price
  # an error will not be raised even if Product#manufacturer and Product#price have not been called
end

block is an optional block to be evaluated against the mock object instance, giving an alernative way to set up expectations & stubs.

def test_product
  product = stub('ipod_product') do
    stubs(:manufacturer).returns('ipod')
    stubs(:price).returns(100)
  end
  assert_equal 'ipod', product.manufacturer
  assert_equal 100, product.price
  # an error will not be raised even if Product#manufacturer and Product#price have not been called
end
# File lib/mocha/api.rb, line 75
def stub(*arguments, &block)
  name = arguments.shift if arguments.first.is_a?(String)
  expectations = arguments.shift || {}
  stub = name ? Mockery.instance.named_mock(name, &block) : Mockery.instance.unnamed_mock(&block)
  stub.stubs(expectations)
  stub
end
stub_everything(name, &block) → mock object click to toggle source
stub_everything(stubbed_methods = {}, &block) → mock object
stub_everything(name, stubbed_methods = {}, &block) → mock object

Creates a mock object that accepts calls to any method.

By default it will return nil for any method call.

block is a block to be evaluated against the mock object instance, giving an alernative way to set up expectations & stubs.

name and stubbed_methods work in the same way as for #stub.

def test_product
  product = stub_everything('ipod_product', :price => 100)
  assert_nil product.manufacturer
  assert_nil product.any_old_method
  assert_equal 100, product.price
end
# File lib/mocha/api.rb, line 100
def stub_everything(*arguments, &block)
  name = arguments.shift if arguments.first.is_a?(String)
  expectations = arguments.shift || {}
  stub = name ? Mockery.instance.named_mock(name, &block) : Mockery.instance.unnamed_mock(&block)
  stub.stub_everything
  stub.stubs(expectations)
  stub
