Hi all,
I am quite new to smalltalk and I am probably having "cultural"
difficulties. I mostly work with Java.
So it is possible that there is trivial answer for my question or my
question is just wrong. But here
it goes.
I am implementing object that should make a call to some other object.
I need to test that the
caller works correctly based on the return value it receives. So
basically the code and the test
looks like this and I need to fill the XXXX part:
Object>>doSomething
result:=innerObject makeACall.
"based on result do something"
Test>>test
"get bogus object for testing from somewhere"
mockForTest := XXXX.
(Object new)
innerObject: mockForTest.
doSomething.
"check that something was done."
I am used to resolve this kind of problems using mock objects. I
tought it would be easy to implement
in smalltalk too because it is dynamic language. However with my limited
searches I did not found much usable code or examples how to do it.
So, my question is: is there some easy way to resolve this problem or
does it require
a bigger library? If it does, is there a library already for that?
