# EasyMockSugar

#### trait EasyMockSugar extends AnyRef

Trait that provides some basic syntax sugar for EasyMock.

Using the EasyMock API directly, you create a mock with:

    val mockCollaborator = createMock(classOf[Collaborator])

With this trait, you can shorten that to:

    val mockCollaborator = mock[Collaborator]

After creating mocks, you set expectations on them, using syntax like this:

    mockCollaborator.documentAdded("Document")
    mockCollaborator.documentChanged("Document")
    expectLastCall().times(3)

If you wish to highlight which statements are setting expectations on the mock (versus which ones are actually using the mock), you can place them in an `expecting`clause, provided by this trait, like this:

    expecting {
      mockCollaborator.documentAdded("Document")
      mockCollaborator.documentChanged("Document")
      lastCall.times(3)
    }

Using an `expecting` clause is optional, because it does nothing but visually indicate which statements are setting expectations on mocks. (Note: this trait also provides the `lastCall`method, which just calls `expectLastCall`.)

Once you've set expectations on the mock objects, you must invoke `replay` on the mocks to indicate you are done setting expectations, and will start using the mock. After using the mock, you must invoke `verify` to check to make sure the mock was used in accordance with the expectations you set on it. Here's how that looks when you use the EasyMock API directly:

    replay(mockCollaborator)
    classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    verify(mockCollaborator)

This trait enables you to use the following, more declarative syntax instead:

    whenExecuting(mockCollaborator) {
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    }

The `whenExecuting` method will pass the `mockCollaborator` to`replay`, execute the passed function (your code that uses the mock), and call `verify`, passing in the `mockCollaborator`. If you want to use multiple mocks, you can pass multiple mocks to `whenExecuting`.

To summarize, here's what a typical test using `EasyMockSugar` looks like:

    val mockCollaborator = mock[Collaborator]expecting {
      mockCollaborator.documentAdded("Document")
      mockCollaborator.documentChanged("Document")
      lastCall.times(3)
    }whenExecuting(mockCollaborator) {
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    }

An alternative approach is to place your mock objects in a `MockObjects` holder object referenced from an implicit `val`, then use the overloaded variant of `whenExecuting` that takes an implicit `MockObjects` parameter. Here's how that would look:

    implicit val mocks = MockObjects(mock[Collaborator])expecting {
      mockCollaborator.documentAdded("Document")
      mockCollaborator.documentChanged("Document")
      lastCall.times(3)
    }whenExecuting {
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
      classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
    }

Note: As of ScalaTest 1.3, this trait supports EasyMock 3, with no dependencies on EasyMock class extension.

8. #### def asInstanceOf [T0] : T0

   This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

   This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

   Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression`1.asInstanceOf[String]` will throw a `ClassCastException` at runtime, while the expression`List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]` will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

   returns

     the receiver object.

   attributes: final
   definition classes: Any

9. #### implicit def call [T] (value: T) : IExpectationSetters[T]

   Implicit conversion that invokes the `expect` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.

   Implicit conversion that invokes the `expect` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.e., the static `expect` method in Java class `org.easymock.EasyMock`).

   In a ScalaTest `Suite`, the `expect` method defined in `Assertions`, and inherited by `Suite`, interferes with the `expect` method if imported from `EasyMock`. You can invoke it by qualifying it, i.e.,`EasyMock.expect`, or by changing its name on import, like this:

       import org.easymock.EasyMock.{expect => easyMockExpect, _}

   But if you mix in this trait, you can just invoke `call` instead.

   You can use this method, for example, to chain expectations like this:

       expecting {
         call(mock.getName).andReturn("Ben Franklin")
       }

   Note: the name of this methods is `call`, not `expectCall` because "expect" appears in the surrounding `expecting` clause provided by this trait.

   Moreover, because this method is marked `implicit`, you will usually be able to simply leave it off. So long as the result of the method call you are expecting doesn't have a method that satisfies the subsequent invocation (such as `andReturn` in this example), the Scala compiler will invoke `call` for you implicitly. Here's how that looks:

       expecting {
         mock.getName.andReturn("Ben Franklin")
       }

   value

     - the result of invoking a method on mock prior to invoking `replay`.

10. #### def clone () : AnyRef

    This method creates and returns a copy of the receiver object.

    This method creates and returns a copy of the receiver object.

    The default implementation of the `clone` method is platform dependent.

    returns

      a copy of the receiver object.

    definition classes: AnyRef

11. #### def eq (arg0: AnyRef) : Boolean

    This method is used to test whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    This method is used to test whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    The `eq` method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on non-null instances of `AnyRef`: * It is reflexive: for any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(x)` returns `true`. * It is symmetric: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(y)` returns `true` if and only if `y.eq(x)` returns `true`. * It is transitive: for any non-null instances `x`, `y`, and `z` of type `AnyRef` if `x.eq(y)` returns `true` and `y.eq(z)` returns `true`, then `x.eq(z)` returns `true`.

    Additionally, the `eq` method has three other properties. * It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`. * For any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(null)` and `null.eq(x)` returns `false`. * `null.eq(null)` returns `true`.

    When overriding the `equals` or `hashCode` methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (`o1 eq o2`), they should be equal to each other (`o1 == o2`) and they should hash to the same value (`o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode`).

    arg0

      the object to compare against this object for reference equality.

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

    attributes: final
    definition classes: AnyRef

12. #### def equals (arg0: Any) : Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (`this`) with the argument object (`arg0`) for equivalence.

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (`this`) with the argument object (`arg0`) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation]: * It is reflexive: for any instance `x` of type `Any`, `x.equals(x)` should return `true`. * It is symmetric: for any instances `x` and `y` of type `Any`, `x.equals(y)` should return `true` if and only if `y.equals(x)` returns `true`. * It is transitive: for any instances `x`, `y`, and `z` of type `AnyRef` if `x.equals(y)` returns `true` and `y.equals(z)` returns `true`, then `x.equals(z)` should return `true`.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override `hashCode` to ensure that objects that are "equal" (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `true`) hash to the same scala.Int (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`).

    arg0

      the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

    definition classes: AnyRef → Any

13. #### def expecting (unused: Any) : Unit

    Provides a visual clue to readers of the code that a set of statements are expectations being set on mocks.

    Provides a visual clue to readers of the code that a set of statements are expectations being set on mocks.

    Using the EasyMock API directly, you set expectations on a mock object with syntax like:

        mockCollaborator.documentAdded("Document")
        mockCollaborator.documentChanged("Document")
        expectLastCall().times(3)

    This `expecting` method can make it more obvious which portion of your test code is devoted to setting expectations on mock objects. For example:

        expecting {
          mockCollaborator.documentAdded("Document")
          mockCollaborator.documentChanged("Document")
          lastCall.times(3)
        }

    Using an `expecting` clause is optional, because it does nothing besides visually indicate which statements are setting expectations on mocks. Note: this trait also provides the `lastCall`method, which just calls `expectLastCall`. This allows you to avoid writing "expect" twice. Also, the reason `expecting` doesn't take a by-name parameter, execute that, then call`replay` is because you would then need to pass your mock object or objects into`expecting`. Since you already need to pass the mocks into `whenExecuting` so that `verify` can be invoked on them, it yields more concise client code to have`whenExecuting` invoke `replay` on the mocks first rather than having`expecting` invoke `replay` last.

14. #### def finalize () : Unit

    This method is called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

    This method is called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

    The details of when and if the `finalize` method are invoked, as well as the interaction between `finalize`and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

    attributes: protected
    definition classes: AnyRef

15. #### def getClass () : java.lang.Class[_]

    Returns a representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

    Returns a representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

    The nature of the representation is platform dependent.

    returns

      a representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

    attributes: final
    definition classes: AnyRef

16. #### def hashCode () : Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`) yet not be equal (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `false`). A degenerate implementation could always return `0`. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (`o1.equals(o2)` returns `true`) that they have identical hash codes (`o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)`). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the `equals` method.

    returns

      the hash code value for the object.

    definition classes: AnyRef → Any

17. #### def isInstanceOf [T0] : Boolean

    This method is used to test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    This method is used to test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    Note that the test result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression`1.isInstanceOf[String]` will return `false`, while the expression `List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` will return `true`. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type `T0`; `false` otherwise.

    attributes: final
    definition classes: Any

18. #### def lastCall [T] : IExpectationSetters[T]

    Invokes the `expectLastCall` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.

    Invokes the `expectLastCall` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.e., the static `expect` method in Java class `org.easymock.EasyMock`).

    This method is provided simply to allow you to avoid repeating "expect" inside an`expecting` clause. Here's an example that uses the `expectLastCall` directly to express the expectation that the `getName` method will be invoked three times on a mock, each time returning `"Ben Franklin"`:

        expecting {
          mock.getName.andReturn("Ben Franklin")
          expectLastCall.times(3)
        }

    Using this method, you can compress this to:

        expecting {
          mock.getName.andReturn("Ben Franklin")
          lastCall.times(3)
        }

19. #### def mock [T <: AnyRef] (implicit manifest: Manifest[T]) : T

    Using the EasyMock API directly, you create a mock with:

        val mockCollaborator = createMock(classOf[Collaborator])

    Using this method, you can shorten that to:

        val mockCollaborator = mock[Collaborator]

20. #### def ne (arg0: AnyRef) : Boolean

    `o.ne(arg0)` is the same as `!(o.eq(arg0))`.

    `o.ne(arg0)` is the same as `!(o.eq(arg0))`.

    arg0

      the object to compare against this object for reference dis-equality.

    returns

      `false` if the argument is not a reference to the receiver object; `true` otherwise.

    attributes: final
    definition classes: AnyRef

21. #### def niceMock [T <: AnyRef] (implicit manifest: Manifest[T]) : T

    Invokes the `createNiceMock` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.

    Invokes the `createNiceMock` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.e., the static `createNiceMock` method in Java class `org.easymock.classextension.EasyMock`).

    Using the EasyMock API directly, you create a nice mock with:

        val mockCollaborator = createNiceMock(classOf[Collaborator])

    Using this trait, you can shorten that to:

        val mockCollaborator = niceMock[Collaborator]

22. #### def notify () : Unit

    Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

    Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

    Invokes the `createStrictMock` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.

    Invokes the `createStrictMock` method on the `EasyMock` companion object (i.e., the static `createStrictMock` method in Java class `org.easymock.classextension.EasyMock`).

    Using the EasyMock API directly, you create a strict mock with:

        val mockCollaborator = createStrictMock(classOf[Collaborator])

    Using this trait, you can shorten that to:

        val mockCollaborator = strictMock[Collaborator]

30. #### def whenExecuting (fun: ⇒ Unit)(implicit mocks: MockObjects) : Unit

    Invokes `replay` on the mock object or objects passed via an implicit parameter, executes the passed function, then invokes `verify` on the passed mock object or objects.

    Invokes `replay` on the mock object or objects passed via an implicit parameter, executes the passed function, then invokes `verify` on the passed mock object or objects.

    Once you've set expectations on some mock objects, you must invoke `replay` on the mocks to indicate you are done setting expectations, and will start using the mocks. After using the mocks, you must invoke `verify` to check to make sure the mocks were used in accordance with the expectations you set on it. Here's how that looks when you use the EasyMock API directly:

        replay(mock)
        classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
        classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
        classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
        classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
        verify(mock)

    This method enables you to use the following, more declarative syntax instead:

        implicit val mocks = MockObjects(mockCollaborator)whenExecuting {
          classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
          classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
          classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
          classUnderTest.addDocument("Document", new Array[Byte](0))
        }

    If you are working with multiple mock objects at once, you simply pass them all to `MockObjects`, like this:

        implicit val mocks = MockObjects(mock1, mock2, mock3)

    The `whenExecuting` method will first invoke `EasyMock.reply`once for each mock you supplied, execute the passed function, then invoke `EasyMock.verify` once for each mock you supplied. If an exception is thrown by the passed function, `whenExecuting` will complete abruptly with that same exception without executing verify on any of the mocks.

        }

    If you are working with multiple mock objects at once, you simply pass them all to `whenExecuting`, like this:

        whenExecuting(mock1, mock2, mock3) {
          // ...
        }

    The `whenExecuting` method will first invoke `EasyMock.reply`once for each mock you supplied, execute the passed function, then invoke `EasyMock.verify` once for each mock you supplied.

    mocks

      one or more mock objects to invoke `replay` before using and `verify` after using.
