Grails mock same method many times with different result

I want to mock a object method that is called many times, and each times the result must be different.

Here what I'm trying to do:

fooMock.demand.someMethod(3..3) { ->
    //call1
    if (**some condition**)
        return 1

    //call2
    if (**some condition**)
        return 2

    //call3
    if (**some condition**)
        return 3
}

So, is there a way to know what is the current call number ? or do you offers something better ?

It will be possible to do that in Grails 2.3-M2 (http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-4611) but until then, did someone has a workaround ?

Solution

  • You can create an attribute in your test to control that:

    class MyTest {
  int someMethodCount

  @Before
  void setup() {
    fooMock.demand.someMethod(3..3) { ->
      someMethodCount++
      ...
    }
  }

}
