// 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. package mock
