NAME

Test::EasyMock - A mock library which is usable easily.

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Test::EasyMock qw(
    create_mock
    expect
    replay
    verify
    reset
);
my $mock = create_mock();
expect($mock->foo(1))->and_scalar_return('a');
expect($mock->foo(2))->and_scalar_return('b');
replay($mock);
$mock->foo(1); # return 'a'
$mock->foo(2); # return 'b'
$mock->foo(3); # Unexpected method call.(A test is failed)
verify($mock); # verify all expectations is invoked.
reset($mock);
expect($mock->foo(1, 2)->and_array_return('a', 'b');
expect($mock->foo({ value => 3 })->and_array_return('c');
replay($mock);
$mock->foo(1, 2); # return ('a', 'b')
$mock->foo({ value => 3 }); # return ('c')
verify($mock);
reset($mock);
expect($mock->foo(1))->and_scalar_return('a');
expect($mock->foo(1))->and_scalar_return('b');
replay($mock);
$mock->foo(1); # return 'a'
$mock->foo(1); # return 'b'
$mock->foo(1); # Unexpected method call.(A test is failed)
verify($mock);

Using Test::Deep's special comparisons.


            

              
              
use Test::EasyMock qw(
    create_mock
    expect
    replay
    verify
    reset
    whole
);
use Test::Deep qw(
    ignore
);
my $mock = create_mock();
expect($mock->foo(1, ignore())->and_scalar_return('a');
expect($mock->foo({ value => 1, random => ignore() })->and_scalar_return('b');
replay($mock);
$mock->foo(1, 1234); # return 'a'
$mock->foo({ value => 1, random => 1234 }); # return 'b'
verify($mock);
reset($mock);
expect($mock->foo(whole(ignore())))->and_stub_scalar_return('a');
replay($mock);
$mock->foo(); # return 'a'
$mock->foo(1, 2, 3); # return 'a'
$mock->foo({ arg1 => 1, arg2 => 2 }); # return 'a'
verify($mock);

Mock to class method.


            

              
              
use Test::EasyMock qw(
    expect
    replay
    verify
);
use Test::EasyMock::Class qw(
    create_class_mock
);
my $mock = create_class_mock('Foo::Bar');
expect($mock->foo(1))->and_scalar_return('a');
replay($mock);
Foo::Bar->foo(1); # return 'a'
Foo::Bar->foo(2); # Unexpected method call.(A test is failed)
verify($mock); # verify all expectations is invoked.

DESCRIPTION

This is mock library modeled on 'EasyMock' in Java.

FUNCTIONS

create_mock([$module_name|$object])

Creates a mock object. If specified the $module_name then a isa($module_name) method of the mock object returns true.

expect(<a mock method call>)

Record a method invocation and behavior.

The following example is expecting the foo method invocation with $arguments and a result of the invocation is 123.


            

              
              
expect($mock->foo($arguments))
    ->and_scalar_return(123);

And the next example is expecting the foo method invocation without an argument and a result of the invocation is (1, 2, 3).


            

              
              
expect($mock->foo())
    ->and_array_return(1, 2, 3);

A list of and_* methods.

and_scalar_return($value)

Add scalar result to the expectation.

and_array_return(@values)

Add array result to the expectation.

and_list_return(@values)

Add list result to the expectation.

and_answer($code)

Add code to the expectation, it calculate an answer.

and_die([$message])

Add die behavior to the expectation.

and_stub_scalar_return($value)

Set scalar result as a stub to the expectation.

and_stub_array_return(@values)

Set array result as a stub to the expectation.

and_stub_list_return(@values)

Set list result as a stub to the expectation.

and_stub_answer($code)

Add code as a stub to the expectation, it calculate an answer.

and_stub_die([$message])

Set die behavior as as stub to the expectation.

replay($mock [, $mock2 ...])

Replay the mock object behaviors which is recorded by the expect function.


            

              
              
replay($mock);

verify($mock)

Verify the mock method invocations.

reset($mock)

Reset the mock.

whole($arguments)

It is a kind of an argument matcher. The matcher considers that the whole argument is array ref.


            

              
              
# same as `expect($mock->foo(1, 2))`
expect($mock->foo( whole([1, 2]) ));
# matches any arguments. (eg. foo(), foo(1,2), foo({}), etc...)
expect($mock->foo( whole(ignore()) ));
