Support Half-Mocks

Paul King added a comment - 03/Feb/10 8:02 AM OK, I now have a patch (borrowing from Stefan's patch and also the recent ignore amendments) which supports a form of half-mocks. It needs further testing and doco before committing to trunk but to give a flavor: import groovy.mock.interceptor.MockFor class Person { String first, last def name() { "$first $last" } def ignoreMe() { 'baz' } def ignoreMeToo() { ignoreMe() } def ignoreMeThree() { ignoreMe() } } def mock = new MockFor(Person) mock.ignore(~'get.*') mock.ignore('ignoreMeToo') { 'boo' } mock.ignore(~'ignoreMe.*') mock.demand.name{ 'John' } mock.use { def p = new Person(first:'Mary', last:'Smith') assert p.first == 'Mary' assert p.last == 'Smith' assert p.name() == 'John' assert p.ignoreMe() == 'baz' assert p.ignoreMeToo() == 'boo' assert p.ignoreMeThree() == 'baz' } Basically, all method calls must match according to the appropriate expectation unless explicitly ignored. When ignoring, a closure can be provided to return a value (much like a demand return result) but the call won't be included when comparing with expected calls. If the ignore method has no return closure, then it defaults through to calling the original underlying instance.

Note that the relaying from an ignored method to a non-existing demanded method is not supported as it was in Stefan's patch. I am currently regarding that as an anti-feature but am open to being persuaded that is not the case.
