Refactoring-friendly stubbing

[Ryan Hanks]

Hi,

I prefer the refactoring-friendly approach to setting expectations. Could Mockolate take a similar approach when stubbing? For example:

stub(subject.property_a).returns(nice_a);

as opposed to:

stub(subject).getter("property_a").returns(nice_a);

Or, is there a way of doing this in a refactoring-friendly manner?

Thanks.

Yes.  You can use

expect(subject.doSomething(arg(someValue))).returns(someOptionalValue);

Note the "arg()" in the middle.  Wrap that around ant arguments passed to your expected method.

expect() is the equivalent of mock() and allow() replaces stub().

Use allow() instead of expect() to set stub expectations. 

    allow(subject.property_a).returns(nice_a);

HTH,
