does mockDomain() support bidirectional relationships? should it?

[Sergey Bondarenko]

Hi Grails developers!

Is anyone of you using mockDomain() a lot?

It looks like it does not handle bidirectional relationships properly. Backreferences in children are not set.

I looked into MockUtils sources. This functionality is not implemented. Should it be implemented? 

Why MockUtils does not reuse DomainClassGrailsPlugin (addRelationshipManagementMethods and so on...) ?

Thanks!

Regards,

Sergey

Yes.

Because a plugin class isn't really designed for re-use. I haven't
looked at the code recently, but if the domain class plugin methods
aren't tied to database functionality, then we could factor them out
and re-use them from within MockUtils.

Cheers,

Peter
