spock-deepmock

spock-deepmock adds deep mocking capabilities to the Spock Framework.

In contrast to builtin mocks a deep mock will return another deep mock object automatically. This way there is no need to define chains of nested mocks.

• Adds DeepMock() and GroovyDeepMock() for deep mocking

• Build deep mocking chains for nested objects

• Uses same syntax as the builtins Mock() and GroovyMock()

• Supports interaction verification

• Works with Spock Framework 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3

Usage

Deep mocks can be defined as any other mock. Features like options are supported.

Define deep mocks

def mock = DeepMock(Nested)
Nested mock = DeepMock()

def mock = DeepMock(name: 'customName')
Nested mock = DeepMock(name: 'customName')

CallerTest.groovy

def 'calling nested mock'() {
    setup:
    Nested mock = DeepMock()
    def caller = new Caller(mock)

    when:
    // calls mock.getChild().getChild().getName()
    def res = caller.nameOfSubSubChild()

    then:
    1 * mock.child.child.name >> 'Hello'

    expect:
    res == 'Hello'
}
