Overview ¶
Provides a system by which it is possible to mock your objects and verify calls are happening as expected.
Example Usage ¶
The mock package provides an object, Mock, that tracks activity on another object. It is usually embedded into a test object as shown below:
type MyTestObject struct {
// add a Mock object instance
mock.Mock
// other fields go here as normal
}
When implementing the methods of an interface, you wire your functions up to call the Mock.Called(args...) method, and return the appropriate values.
For example, to mock a method that saves the name and age of a person and returns the year of their birth or an error, you might write this:
func (o *MyTestObject) SavePersonDetails(firstname, lastname string, age int) (int, error) {
args := o.Called(firstname, lastname, age)
return args.Int(0), args.Error(1)
}
The Int, Error and Bool methods are examples of strongly typed getters that take the argument index position. Given this argument list:
(12, true, "Something")
You could read them out strongly typed like this:
args.Int(0) args.Bool(1) args.String(2)
For objects of your own type, use the generic Arguments.Get(index) method and make a type assertion:
return args.Get(0).(*MyObject), args.Get(1).(*AnotherObjectOfMine)
This may cause a panic if the object you are getting is nil (the type assertion will fail), in those cases you should check for nil first.

Functions ¶
func AssertExpectationsForObjects ¶
AssertExpectationsForObjects asserts that everything specified with On and Return of the specified objects was in fact called as expected.
Calls may have occurred in any order.
Types ¶
type AnythingOfTypeArgument ¶
type AnythingOfTypeArgument string
AnythingOfTypeArgument is a string that contains the type of an argument for use when type checking. Used in Diff and Assert.
func AnythingOfType ¶
func AnythingOfType(t string) AnythingOfTypeArgument
AnythingOfType returns an AnythingOfTypeArgument object containing the name of the type to check for. Used in Diff and Assert.
For example:
Assert(t, AnythingOfType("string"), AnythingOfType("int"))
type Arguments ¶
type Arguments []interface{}
Arguments holds an array of method arguments or return values.
func (Arguments) Assert ¶
Assert compares the arguments with the specified objects and fails if they do not exactly match.
func (Arguments) Bool ¶
Bool gets the argument at the specified index. Panics if there is no argument, or if the argument is of the wrong type.
func (Arguments) Diff ¶
Diff gets a string describing the differences between the arguments and the specified objects.
Returns the diff string and number of differences found.
func (Arguments) Error ¶
Error gets the argument at the specified index. Panics if there is no argument, or if the argument is of the wrong type.
func (Arguments) Int ¶
Int gets the argument at the specified index. Panics if there is no argument, or if the argument is of the wrong type.
type Call ¶
type Call struct {
Parent *Mock
// The name of the method that was or will be called.
Method string
// Holds the arguments of the method.
Arguments Arguments
// Holds the arguments that should be returned when
// this method is called.
ReturnArguments Arguments
// The number of times to return the return arguments when setting
// expectations. 0 means to always return the value.
Repeatability int
// Holds a channel that will be used to block the Return until it either
// recieves a message or is closed. nil means it returns immediately.
WaitFor <-chan time.Time
// Holds a handler used to manipulate arguments content that are passed by
// reference. It's useful when mocking methods such as unmarshalers or
// decoders.
RunFn func(Arguments)
}
Call represents a method call and is used for setting expectations, as well as recording activity.
func (*Call) After ¶ added in v1.1.4
After sets how long to block until the call returns
Mock.On("MyMethod", arg1, arg2).After(time.Second)
func (*Call) On ¶ added in v1.1.4
On chains a new expectation description onto the mocked interface. This allows syntax like.
Mock.
On("MyMethod", 1).Return(nil).
On("MyOtherMethod", 'a', 'b', 'c').Return(errors.New("Some Error"))
func (*Call) Once ¶ added in v1.1.4
Once indicates that that the mock should only return the value once.
Mock.On("MyMethod", arg1, arg2).Return(returnArg1, returnArg2).Once()
func (*Call) Run ¶ added in v1.0.2
Run sets a handler to be called before returning. It can be used when mocking a method such as unmarshalers that takes a pointer to a struct and sets properties in such struct
Mock.On("Unmarshal", AnythingOfType("*map[string]interface{}").Return().Run(function(args Arguments) {
arg := args.Get(0).(*map[string]interface{})
arg["foo"] = "bar"
})
func (*Call) Times ¶ added in v1.1.4
Times indicates that that the mock should only return the indicated number of times.
Mock.On("MyMethod", arg1, arg2).Return(returnArg1, returnArg2).Times(5)
type Mock ¶
type Mock struct {
// Represents the calls that are expected of
// an object.
ExpectedCalls []*Call
// Holds the calls that were made to this mocked object.
Calls []Call
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Mock is the workhorse used to track activity on another object. For an example of its usage, refer to the "Example Usage" section at the top of this document.
func (*Mock) AssertCalled ¶
AssertCalled asserts that the method was called.
func (*Mock) AssertExpectations ¶
AssertExpectations asserts that everything specified with On and Return was in fact called as expected. Calls may have occurred in any order.
func (*Mock) AssertNotCalled ¶
AssertNotCalled asserts that the method was not called.
func (*Mock) AssertNumberOfCalls ¶
AssertNumberOfCalls asserts that the method was called expectedCalls times.
func (*Mock) Called ¶
Called tells the mock object that a method has been called, and gets an array of arguments to return. Panics if the call is unexpected (i.e. not preceeded by appropriate .On .Return() calls) If Call.WaitFor is set, blocks until the channel is closed or receives a message.
