Expectation is that .Date would be the default constructor of the Date class.
Description
Would like the ability to stub/mock constructors.
Example:
def dateStub = new StubFor( Date )
dateStub.demand.Date{ aControlCurrentTime }
Expectation is that .Date would be the default constructor of the Date class.
I have a minor modification to MockFor/StubFor which supports this functionality. Here is an example of usage (mirroring this issue's suggestion):
import groovy.mock.interceptor.MockFor
class Person {
String first, last
}
def interceptConstructorCalls = true
def mock = new MockFor(Person, interceptConstructorCalls)
def dummy = new Person(first:'Tom', last:'Jones')
mock.demand.with {
Person() { dummy } // expect constructor call, return dummy
getFirst() {'John'}
getLast() {'Doe'}
}
mock.use {
def p = new Person(first:'Mary', last:'Smith')
assert p.first == 'John'
assert p.last == 'Doe'
}
There is an optional parameter (defaulting to false) for the Constructor which indicates that mocking of the constructor is to be enabled. It is only possible to use with GroovyObjects.
