-
spec2-mocks
This library connects spec2.cr and mocks.cr, effectively enabling 'have_received' expectation for spec2. -
hashr
Hashr is a tiny library makes test on JSON response easier, and can also be used as a models object.

README
mocks
General purpose mocking library for Crystal.
Installation
Add it to shard.yml
:
dependencies:
mocks:
github: waterlink/mocks.cr
version: ~> 0.9
This shard requires version of Crystal minimum 0.13.0
.
Usage
require "mocks"
Usage with spec
library
require "mocks/spec"
This will automatically register Mocks.reset
hooks in before_each
and
after_each
. Additionally it makes allow
, receive
and have_received
available in global scope.
If you need all of macros (such as: create_mock, create_double, double,
instance_double, etc.
) to be available in global scope use include
::Mocks::Macro
.
Usage with spec2
library
First add spec2-mocks
to your
dependencies:
dependencies:
mocks:
github: waterlink/mocks.cr
spec2:
github: waterlink/spec2.cr
spec2-mocks:
github: waterlink/spec2-mocks.cr
Run crystal deps update
and do:
require "spec2-mocks"
This should be enough to start using mocks together with spec2.
Partial double
class Example
def say_hello(name)
"hey, #{name}"
end
end
Mocks.create_mock Example do
mock say_hello(name)
# or
# mock instance.say_hello(name)
end
example = Example.new
allow(example).to receive(say_hello("world")).and_return("hello, world!")
example.say_hello("world") #=> "hello, world!"
example.say_hello("john") #=> "hey, john"
If you want to mock operators or setters, syntax is pretty straightforward:
# setter
mock instance.greeting = value
# or
mock instance.greeting=(value)
# equals
mock instance == other
# or
mock instance.==(other)
Class methods
Just use mock self.method_name(args..)
Mocks.create_mock Example do
mock self.hello_world(greeting)
end
allow(Example).to receive(self.hello_world("aloha")).and_return("aloha (as 'hello'), world!")
Example.hello_world("hey") # => "hey, world!" (original was called)
Example.hello_world("aloha") # => "aloha (as 'hello'), world!" (mock was called)
Module methods
Just use mock self.method_name(args..)
module Example
def self.hello_world(greeting)
greeting
end
end
Mocks.create_module_mock Example do
mock self.hello_world(greeting)
end
allow(Example).to receive(self.hello_world("aloha")).and_return("aloha (as 'hello'), world!")
Mocking Struct
struct Example
def now
Time.now
end
end
Mocks.create_struct_mock Example do
mock now
end
example = Example.new
allow(example).to receive(now).and_return(Time.new(2014, 12, 22))
Double
Caution: doubles require return types.
Mocks.create_double "OtherExample" do
mock say_hello(name).as(String)
mock greetings_count.as(Int64)
# For setters and operators this is the only syntax allowed:
# ( parenthesis are mandatory not to confuse Crystal's parser )
mock (instance.greeting = value), String
mock (instance == other), Bool
end
example = Mocks.double("OtherExample", returns(say_hello("world"), "hello world!"))
allow(example).to receive(instance.greeting=("hey")).and_return("hey")
example.say_hello("world") #=> "hello world!"
example.say_hello("john") #=> Mocks::UnexpectedMethodCall: #<Mocks::Doubles::OtherExample:0x109498F00> received unexpected method call say_hello["john"]
Instance double
After defining Example
's mock with create_mock
you can use it as an instance_double
:
example = Mocks.instance_double(Example, returns(say_hello("world"), "hello, world!"))
allow(example).to receive(say_hello("sarah")).and_return("Hey, Sarah!")
example.say_hello("world") #=> "hello world!"
example.say_hello("sarah") #=> "Hey, Sarah!"
example.say_hello("john") #=> Mocks::UnexpectedMethodCall: #<Mocks::InstanceDoubles::Example:0x109498F00> received unexpected method call say_hello["john"]
Class double
After defining Example
's mock with create_mock
you can use it as a class_double
:
example_class = Mocks.class_double(Example, returns(self.hello_world("aloha"), "aloha, world!"))
allow(example_class).to receive(self.hello_world("hi")).and_return("hey, world!")
example_class.hello_world("aloha") # => "aloha, world!"
example_class.hello_world("hi") # => "hey, world!"
example_class.hello_world("halo") # => Mocks::UnexpectedMethodCall: Mocks::InstanceDoubles::Example received unexpected method call self.hello_world["halo"]
.new
It returns normal instance_double
:
example_class = Mocks.class_double(Example)
example_class.new # => #<Mocks::InstanceDoubles::Example:0x109498F00>
HaveReceived expectation (usage with stdlib spec
)
example = Example.new
example.say("hello")
example.should have_received(say("hello")) # passes
example.should have_received(say("hi")) # fails
Development
After cloning the project:
cd mocks.cr
crystal deps # install dependencies
crystal spec # run specs
Just use normal TDD development style.
