mocking a null return type

[John Whish]

Hi guys, I've just been trying to mock a call to ORM where I expect it to return null. 

function mockNull(){

  var Gateway = mock().getBasket().returns( JavaCast("null","") );

  var result = Gateway.getBasket();

  assertTrue( IsNull( Gateway.getBasket() ) );

}

This was causing the error:

variable [ARG] doesn't exist : framework\mightymock\MightyMock.cfc (232)

 

I thought about using a special '{null}' value as a return type so you could do something like:

function mockNull(){

  var Gateway = mock().getBasket().returns( '{null}' );

  var result = Gateway.getBasket();

  assertTrue( IsNull( Gateway.getBasket() ) );

}

I had a go at doing this, by trapping the '{null}' argument, but haven't got it to work properly.

  function returns(){

   var arg = '';

   _$setState('idle');

   if( arguments.size() ) arg = arguments[1];

   if ( !IsSimpleValue( arg ) || arg != '{null}' ){

      registry.updateRegistry(currentMethod['name'],currentMethod['missingMethodArguments'],'returns',arg);

   }

   return this;

  }

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

John

Hey John,

This got lost in the shuffle. Have you worked this out yet?

Hi Marc,

No I didn't get it working with MightyMock. Instead I just wrote a fake object (is that a fixture?) which mocked out the methods and used that instead of MightyMock.

Cheers,

John

Thanks for the update, John.
