I'm pretty new to go. I'm trying to mock a single method of a struct
using testify
, but I don't know how to do it.
Here's the code:
type HelloWorlder interface {
SayHello() string
GetName() string
}
type HelloWorld struct{}
func (hw *HelloWorld) SayHello() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("Hello World from %s!", hw.GetName())
}
func (hw *HelloWorld) GetName() string {
return "se7entyse7en"
}
and here's the test:
type MockHelloWorld struct {
mock.Mock
HelloWorld
}
func (m *MockHelloWorld) GetName() string {
args := m.Called()
return args.String(0)
}
type SomeTestSuite struct {
suite.Suite
}
func (s *SomeTestSuite) TestMocking() {
mhw := new(MockHelloWorld)
mhw.On("GetName").Return("foo bar")
fmt.Println(mhw.SayHello())
}
The idea is to mock only the GetName
method so that it prints Hello World from foo bar!
. Is that possible?
For those familiar with Python, what I'm trying to achieve is similar to what the unittest.Mock
class permits through the wraps
argument.
UPDATE The imported packages from testify
are these:
"github.com/stretchr/testify/mock"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/suite"
Maybe this will help you.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/mock"
)
type userReader interface {
ReadUserInfo(int) int
}
type userWriter interface {
WriteUserInfo(int)
}
type UserRepository struct {
userReader
userWriter
}
type realRW struct{}
func (db *realRW) ReadUserInfo(i int) int {
return i
}
func (db *realRW) WriteUserInfo(i int) {
fmt.Printf("put %d to db.
", i)
}
// this is mocked struct for test writer.
type MyMockedWriter struct {
mock.Mock
}
func (m *MyMockedWriter) ReadUserInfo(i int) int {
args := m.Called(i)
return args.Int(0)
}
func main() {
rw := &realRW{}
repo := UserRepository{
userReader: rw,
userWriter: rw,
}
fmt.Println("Userinfo is:", repo.ReadUserInfo(100))
repo.WriteUserInfo(100)
// when you want to write test.
fmt.Println("Begin test....................")
testObj := new(MyMockedWriter)
testObj.On("ReadUserInfo", 123).Return(250)
testRepo := UserRepository{
userReader: testObj,
userWriter: rw,
}
fmt.Println("Userinfo is:", testRepo.ReadUserInfo(123))
testRepo.WriteUserInfo(100)
}
// Output:
// Userinfo is: 100
// put 100 to db.
// Begin test....................
// Userinfo is: 250
// put 100 to db.
Good luck.
