Module: Mocha::ObjectMethods

Defined in:
lib/mocha/object_methods.rb

Overview

Methods added to all objects to allow mocking and stubbing on real (i.e. non-mock) objects.

Both #expects and #stubs return an Expectation which can be further modified by methods on Expectation.

Instance Method Details

#expects(method_name) ⇒ Expectation #expects(expected_methods_vs_return_values) ⇒ Expectation

Adds an expectation that the specified method must be called exactly once with any parameters.

The original implementation of the method is replaced during the test and then restored at the end of the test. The temporary replacement method has the same visibility as the original method.

Examples:

Setting up an expectation on a non-mock object.

product = Product.new
product.expects(:save).returns(true)
assert_equal true, product.save

Setting up multiple expectations on a non-mock object.

product = Product.new
product.expects(valid?: true, save: true)

# exactly equivalent to

product = Product.new
product.expects(:valid?).returns(true)
product.expects(:save).returns(true)

Overloads:

  • #expects(method_name) ⇒ Expectation

    Parameters:

    • method_name (Symbol, String) —

      name of expected method

  • #expects(expected_methods_vs_return_values) ⇒ Expectation

    Parameters:

    • expected_methods_vs_return_values (Hash) —

      expected method name symbols as keys and corresponding return values as values - these expectations are setup as if #expects were called multiple times.

Returns:

Raises:

  • (StubbingError) —

    if attempting to stub method which is not allowed.

#stubs(method_name) ⇒ Expectation #stubs(stubbed_methods_vs_return_values) ⇒ Expectation

Adds an expectation that the specified method may be called any number of times with any parameters.

The original implementation of the method is replaced during the test and then restored at the end of the test. The temporary replacement method has the same visibility as the original method.

Examples:

Setting up a stubbed methods on a non-mock object.

product = Product.new
product.stubs(:save).returns(true)
assert_equal true, product.save

Setting up multiple stubbed methods on a non-mock object.

product = Product.new
product.stubs(valid?: true, save: true)

# exactly equivalent to

product = Product.new
product.stubs(:valid?).returns(true)
product.stubs(:save).returns(true)

Overloads:

  • #stubs(method_name) ⇒ Expectation

    Parameters:

    • method_name (Symbol, String) —

      name of stubbed method

  • #stubs(stubbed_methods_vs_return_values) ⇒ Expectation

    Parameters:

    • stubbed_methods_vs_return_values (Hash) —

      stubbed method name symbols as keys and corresponding return values as values - these stubbed methods are setup as if #stubs were called multiple times.

Returns:

Raises:

  • (StubbingError) —

    if attempting to stub method which is not allowed.

end

#unstub(*method_names) ⇒ Object

Removes the specified stubbed methods (added by calls to #expects or #stubs) and all expectations associated with them.

Restores the original behaviour of the methods before they were stubbed. This is normally done automatically at the end of each test, but in some circumstances you may want to do it before the end of the test.

WARNING: If you #unstub a method which still has unsatisfied expectations, you may be removing the only way those expectations can be satisfied. Use #unstub with care.

Examples:

Stubbing and unstubbing a method on a real (non-mock) object.

multiplier = Multiplier.new
multiplier.double(2) # => 4
multiplier.stubs(:double).raises # new behaviour defined
multiplier.double(2) # => raises exception
multiplier.unstub(:double) # original behaviour restored
multiplier.double(2) # => 4

Unstubbing multiple methods on a real (non-mock) object.

multiplier.unstub(:double, :triple)

# exactly equivalent to

multiplier.unstub(:double)
multiplier.unstub(:triple)

Parameters:

  • method_names (Array<Symbol>) —

    names of methods to unstub.
