The book Growing Object Oriented Software gives several examples in jMock where the state is made explicit without exposing it through an API. I really like this idea. Is there a way to do this in Mockito?
Here's one example from the book
public class SniperLauncherTest {
private final States auctionState = context.states("auction state")
.startsAs("not joined");
@Test public void addsNewSniperToCollectorAndThenJoinsAuction() {
final String itemId = "item 123";
context.checking(new Expectations() {{
allowing(auctionHouse).auctionFor(itemId); will(returnValue(auction));
oneOf(sniperCollector).addSniper(with(sniperForItem(item)));
when(auctionState.is("not joined"));
oneOf(auction).addAuctionEventListener(with(sniperForItem(itemId)));
when(auctionState.is("not joined"));
one(auction).join(); then(auctionState.is("joined"));
}});
launcher.joinAuction(itemId);
}
}
I used a spy for the self same exercise:
http://docs.mockito.googlecode.com/hg/latest/org/mockito/Mockito.html#13
I changed my SniperListener mock into a spy thus:
private final SniperListener sniperListenerSpy = spy(new SniperListenerStub());
private final AuctionSniper sniper = new AuctionSniper(auction, sniperListenerSpy);
And also created a stubbed implementation of SniperListener:
private class SniperListenerStub implements SniperListener {
@Override
public void sniperLost() {
}
@Override
public void sniperBidding() {
sniperState = SniperState.bidding;
}
@Override
public void sniperWinning() {
}
}
The book uses JMock's "States", but I used a nested enum instead:
private SniperState sniperState = SniperState.idle;
private enum SniperState {
idle, winning, bidding
}
You then have to use regular JUnit asserts to test for the state:
@Test
public void reportsLostIfAuctionClosesWhenBidding() {
sniper.currentPrice(123, 45, PriceSource.FromOtherBidder);
sniper.auctionClosed();
verify(sniperListenerSpy, atLeastOnce()).sniperLost();
assertEquals(SniperState.bidding, sniperState);
}
