I'm mocking out a DataStore and it's Get/Set functionality. The trouble I'm having is: cannot use s (type *MockStore) as type *datastore.Storage in argument to EventHandler
This is caused by my EventHandler function needing to be passed a *datastore.Storage as an argument type. I want to Test (http test) EvenHandler() using the MockStore I've created instead of the real datastore. I'm using the golang testify mock package.
Some Code Examples
type MockStore struct{
mock.Mock
}
func (s *MockStore) Get() ...
func EventHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, bucket *datastore.Storage){
//Does HTTP stuff and stores things in a data store
// Need to mock out the data store get/sets
}
// Later in my Tests
ms := MockStore
EventHandler(w,r,ms)
A few things:
datastore.Storage
and your mock store.EventHandler
(not a pointer to the interface).MockStore
to EventHandler
, as the Get
method is defined for a pointer to the struct.Your updated code should be something like the following:
type Store interface {
Get() (interface{}, bool) // change as needed
Set(interface{}) bool
}
type MockStore struct {
mock.Mock
}
func (s *MockStore) Get() ...
func EventHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request,bucket datastore.Storage){
//Does HTTP stuff and stores things in a data store
// Need to mock out the data store get/sets
}
// Later in my Tests
ms := &MockStore{}
EventHandler(w,r,ms)
