Specification

public class MockingApi
extends org.spockframework.lang.SpecInternals

Spock's mocking API primarily consists of the following factory methods:

Mock()

Creates a general-purpose test double that supports both stubbing and mocking.

Stub()

Creates a test double that supports stubbing but not mocking.

Spy()

Creates a test double that, by default, delegates all calls to a real object. Supports both stubbing and mocking.

GroovyMock()

Creates a Mock() with additional, Groovy-specific features.

GroovyStub()

Creates a Stub() with additional, Groovy-specific features.

GroovySpy()

Creates a Spy() with additional, Groovy-specific features.

Each factory method accepts up to three parameters, each of which is optional (resulting in eight method overloads):

type

The interface or class type of the mock. If not present and the mock is created as part of a variable assignment, the type is inferred from the variable's type (if possible).

options

Additional options for creating the mock. Typically passed as named arguments. See org.spockframework.mock.IMockConfiguration for available options.

block

A code block that allows to specify interactions right when creating the mock.

Some examples:

 def mock = Mock(Person)
 Person mock = Mock()

 def spy = Spy(Person, constructorArgs: ["Fred"])

 Person stub = Stub {
   getName() >> "Fred"
   sing() >> "Tra-la-la"
 }

Method Detail

interaction

public void interaction(Closure block)

Encloses one or more interaction definitions in a then block. Required when an interaction definition uses a statement that doesn't match one of the following patterns, and therefore isn't automatically recognized as belonging to an interaction definition:

• num * target.method(args)
• target.method(args) >>(>) result(s)
• num * target.method(args) >>(>) result(s)

Regular interaction definition:

 def "published messages are received at least once"() {
   when:
   publisher.send(msg)

   then:
   (1.._) * subscriber.receive(msg)
 }
 

Equivalent definition that uses a helper variable:

 def "published messages are received at least once"() {
   when:
   publisher.send(msg)

   then:
   interaction {
     def num = (1.._)
     num * subscriber.receive(msg)
   }
 }
 

Equivalent definition that uses a helper method:

 def "published messages are received at least once"() {
   when:
   publisher.send(msg)

   then:
   interaction {
     messageReceived(msg)
   }
 }

 def messageReceived(msg) {
   (1.._) * subscriber.receive(msg)
 }
 

Parameters:

block - a block of code containing one or more interaction definitions
