dart - mocks, methodnames called by name, refactoring fails

Question

I have used the dart unittest framework and the included Mock class as described

There is however a dependency in the mock calls i.e:

..store.when(callsTo('isLocked')).thenReturn(false);

where the call to the isLocked method is called by name. If someone renamed the isLocked method the refactoring framework will not rename the call.

I was wondering if reflection (mirrors) could help somehow, but I haven't found a solution.

Answer 1

Well, the method I ended up using is a constant class with method names. Like so:

class MethodNames{
  final String GET_ELEMENT = 'getElement';
  final String GET_CLASSES = 'get classes';
  final String SET_DISABLED = 'set:disabled';
  final String AS_INPUT = 'asInput';
  final String AS_BUTTON = 'asButton';
  final String SET_INNER_HTML = 'set:innerHTML';
  final String SET_VALUE = 'set:value';
...
  const MethodNames();
}

I has the advantage of being nice and simple. I tend to prefer that.
