Google Mock not able to mock LPCTSTR parameter

[Yogish Acharya]

Hi,

I am trying to write mock method for the method which is taking LPCTSTR as a parameter.

Example:  virtual LPCTSTR GetData(LPCTSTR key) const //declaration

//Calling function//

{

   CString str = GetData(key);

   //someother logic///

}

My mock method looks like this   MOCK_CONST_METHOD1(GetData, LPCTSTR(LPCTSTR key)); 

And expected call looks like,

LPCTSTR csPSValue;

LPCTSTR key = _T("Testing");

EXPECT_CALL(*objBasicSection, GetData(key)).WillOnce(Return(csPSValue));

GetData function call always returns empty string.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Yogisha

LPCTSTR csPSValue;

LPCTSTR key = _T("Testing");

EXPECT_CALL(*objBasicSection, GetData(key)).WillOnce(Return(csPSValue));

Try

LPCTSTR csPSValue("non-empty string");

LPCTSTR is just a pointer, so EXPECT_CALL(*objBasicSection, GetData(key)) ends up expecting the precise value of the pointer. In order to match string contents use EXPECT_CALL(*objBasicSection, GetData(testing::StrEq(key))).
