Groovy and Abstract superclass & mocking

[Murray Carr]

Hello,

Groovy 1.7.9

I am trying to mock out a method on an abstract super class of the class under test.

How would I go about doing this.  I have tried using metaClass so far to no avail.  

The class under test is a regular Java class not a groovy one if that makes it even harder.

cheers.

There are a couple of options:

* Refactor the code so that the code under test is in a separate class from the code to be mocked

* Subclass the class under test and mock out the method manually

* Use a mocking framework (like Mockito) that supports partial mocking

Cheers,

Peter

I will look to subclassing tomorrow, I managed to make some progress with cglib to get over the initial problem.

Thanks for the tips Peter.

cheers.
