MightMock EntitySave

[Andrew Scott]

 

I am trying to use injectMethod to overwrite a call to entitySave to mock the database call, which doesn’t work.

 

Is there a more preferred or better way?

Hi Andrew,

Could you post a small code snippet and maybe a stack trace?

MightyMock is /still/ pre-alpha, but help your situation. Bob
Silverberg and others have been particularly helpful shaping it. I
hope to roll it into MXUnit before year's end. Anyone interested in
helping to grow MightyMock please drop me a note!

From what I can tell it is the problem of ColdFusion 9, I can't give a stack
trace because there is no error.

For example I have code like this

remote orm.mango.blog function createBlog(blog item) {
entitySave(item);
ormFlush();
return item;
}

In my unitTest I have this

<cfset injectMethod(obj, this, "entitySave_Replacement",
"saveEntity") />
<cfset blog.setid('100') />
<cfset ret = obj.createBlog(blog) />
<cfset assertEquals(ret.getid(), '100') />

The problem is that entitySave is not overridden here, and the ORM
entitySave is still called. I have also posted this in the prerelease forums
as well. To see if Adobe would consider allowing us to override these
methods/functions.

Injectmethod is for overwriting your own functions, not builtin
functions like entitysave

Got it. You probably want to wrap entitySave in it's own method and
then mock that; e.g.,

remote orm.mango.blog function createBlog(blog item) {

myLocalEntitySave(item);
ormFlush();
return item;

}

...

<cfset injectMethod(obj, this, "entitySave_Replacement",

"myLocalEntitySave") />

Yeah that's what I ended up doing, created an abstractComponent for all the
entity functions. A lot of work that seems weird to do because Adobe want
allow us to over ride these things.

The other thing I tried to do was add a private method called entitySave()
in the component, that will never get called either. It won't error but it
won't call the method just call the builtin function.

You'd need to call variables.entitySave() to pick up the local method,
as I understand Adobe's implementation (which would never call the
built-in).

But you could, theoretically, have:

private function entitySave(item) {
entitySave(item);
}

and that would be the 'same' as your myLocalEntitySave() method but a
bit neater. Maybe.
