RE: First Test - Ignoring addListener()

Hi,
 
Can you provide code snippets of the class under test? If you are mocking addListener() call which should eventually trigger a call to creditCardAuthenticated method then I don't see how you can succeed your test. addListener() will be called and the mock will ignore the call ending your test there and will probably throw an exception because creditCardAuthenticated expectation wasn't met.
 
Maybe you need to change your perspective and create separate tests. One that tests your view to ensure addListener() does call run on the Presenter. Another test for your presenter to ensure run() calls creditCardAuthenticated() method.
 
Having small tests focusing on testing a single thing is better because it makes your tests less brittle to changes.

Subject: [jmock-user] First Test - Ignoring addListener()


Getting started with JMock.. sanity check.  (Also, this might be a repeat. I tried to post through the gmane archive, but that didn't appear to work).

I am testing a PresenterFirst pattern.. and want to test with JMock.  The Presenter calls the View's addListener method which calls the Presenters run() method, which in turn calls the view creditCardAuthenticated method.  I don't care about  the listener being called, only that the creditCardAuthenticated method is eventually called.  Given all that, is this the right way to construct the test?  

        final IView viewMock = context.mock(IView.class);

        context.checking(new Expectations() {{
            ignoring (any(IView.class)).method("addListener") ;
        }}) ;

       


        context.checking( new Expectations()
        {{
            oneOf (viewMock).creditCardAuthenticated(true);
        }});

       


        CreditCardPresenter presenter = new CreditCardPresenter(viewMock) ;
