Partial Mock/Fake in Cedar

[jby...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way of performing a partial fake in Cedar. More precisely, I would like to stub a method on an existing class instance while keeping the behaviours of the remaining methods. Certainly, I could refactor my code and remove this dependency into another class but I was wondering if this feature is available in Cedar (just for reference, it's the feature provided by partial mock in OCMock).

Thanks

JB

Hi JB,

It sounds like what you are looking for is Cedar's spy_on functionality.  if you spy_on this instance, you can stub methods as well as assert on received messages.

There is a bit more info here: https://github.com/pivotal/cedar/wiki/Writing-specs#doubles

I was just taking a quick review of the linked docs, and that section is a bit light on details about spies.

I added this paragraph, which I hope will help future readers:

Thanks folks. Spy was exactly what I was looking for.
