Delphi Mocks
Delphi Mocks is a simple mocking framework for Delphi XE2 or later. It makes use of RTTI features that are only available in Delphi XE2. See the example at the bottom of the space for a complete explanation.
Parameter matching
To match expectations or behavior there is extended parameter matching.
function IsAny<T>() : T ;
function Matches<T>(const predicate: TPredicate<T>) : T;
function IsNotNil<T> : T; overload;
function IsNotNil<T>(const comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>) : T; overload;
function IsEqualTo<T>(const value : T) : T; overload;
function IsEqualTo<T>(const value : T; const comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>) : T; overload;
function IsInRange<T>(const fromValue : T; const toValue : T) : T;
function IsIn<T>(const values : TArray<T>) : T; overload;
function IsIn<T>(const values : TArray<T>; const comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>) : T; overload;
function IsIn<T>(const values : IEnumerable<T>) : T; overload;
function IsIn<T>(const values : IEnumerable<T>; const comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>) : T; overload;
function IsNotIn<T>(const values : TArray<T>) : T; overload;
function IsNotIn<T>(const values : TArray<T>; const comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>) : T; overload;
function IsNotIn<T>(const values : IEnumerable<T>) : T; overload;
function IsNotIn<T>(const values : IEnumerable<T>; const comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>) : T; overload;
function IsRegex(const regex : string; const options : TRegExOptions = []) : string;
function AreSamePropertiesThat<T>(const Value: T): T;
function AreSameFieldsThat<T>(const Value: T): T;
function AreSameFieldsAndPropertiedThat<T>(const Value: T): T;
Usage is easy:
mock.Setup.Expect.Once.When.SimpleMethod(It0.IsAny<Integer>, It1.IsAny<String>);
mock.Setup.WillReturn(3).When.SimpleFunction(It0.IsEqualTo<String>('hello'));
Class matching
Some more attention should be payed for matching classes. Usage of .IsAny<TMyClass>
will not work as might be expected, because nil
(which is the default return value of IsAny<T>
) is always a good match. Therefore the following setup will fail on the second line, because the framework will think that there is already behavior defined (in the first line).
mock.Setup.Expect.Never.When.ExtendedMethod(It0.IsAny<TMyClass>);
mock.Setup.Expect.Never.When.ExtendedMethod(It0.IsAny<TMyOtherClass>);
This can easily be solved by using .IsNotNil<TMyClass>
:
mock.Setup.Expect.Never.When.ExtendedMethod(It0.IsNotNil<TMyClass>);
mock.Setup.Expect.Never.When.ExtendedMethod(It0.IsNotNil<TMyOtherClass>);
