SuperMock

Versatile Dynamic Mocking for Node.JS

SuperMock is a very powerful, lightweight, versatile, buzzword, buzzword, mocking library for NodeJS. Influenced by Python's Mock, SuperMock allows you to write mocks with as little setup code as possible.

Usage

SuperMock requires harmony-proxies to be enabled

   node --harmony-proxies

   var SuperMock = require('supermock').SuperMock,
       assert = require('assert');

   //myMock is a function, but also an object
   var myMock = new SuperMock();

   myMock('foo', 'bar');

   //SuperMock keeps track of how many times it has been called
   myMock.assertCallCount(1);

   //it also keeps track of what it was called with
   myMock.assertCalledWith('foo', 'bar');

   //SuperMock will return a new SuperMock object for everything
   myMock.foo.bar.baz.something = 42;
   assert.equal(myMock.foo.bar.baz.something, 42);

   myMock.foo.bar.baz.func();
   myMock.foo.bar.baz.func.assertCallCount(1);

   //unless you specify it
   var myMock = new SuperMock({returnValue:'42', foo:'bar'});
   assert.equal(myMock(), 42);
   assert.equal(myMock.foo, 'bar');

   //Supermock can also throw errors
   var myMock = new SuperMock({ throws: new Error('i haz a boo boo') });
   assert.throws(myMock, Error);

  //You can also get the information without having to assert
  myMock.getCallCount() => 1
  myMock.getCalledWith() => [ [] ]

  //you can also access the returnValue
  var myMock = new SuperMock();
  myMock('123')('456')('789');
  myMock.assertCalledWith('123');
  myMock.returnValue.assertCalledWith('456');
  myMock.returnValue.returnValue.assertCalledWith('789');
