## Google Mock ##
|
|
|
|
The Google C++ mocking framework.
|
|
|
|
### Overview ###
|
|
|
|
Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes.
|
|
It can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests.
|
|
|
|
It is inspired by:
|
|
|
|
* [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/),
|
|
* [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/), and
|
|
* [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/),
|
|
|
|
and designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
|
|
|
|
Google mock:
|
|
|
|
* lets you create mock classes trivially using simple macros.
|
|
* supports a rich set of matchers and actions.
|
|
* handles unordered, partially ordered, or completely ordered expectations.
|
|
* is extensible by users.
|
|
|
|
We hope you find it useful!
|
|
|
|
### Features ###
|
|
|
|
* Provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks.
|
|
* Can easily define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real
|
|
and mock objects.
|
|
* Handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions.
|
|
* Comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments.
|
|
* Uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock.
|
|
* Does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay needed).
|
|
* Allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on
|
|
function calls to be expressed,.
|
|
* Lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
|
|
* Does not use exceptions.
|
|
* Is easy to learn and use.
|
|
|
|
Please see the project page above for more information as well as the
|
|
mailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There is
|
|
also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please
|
|
join us!
|
|
|
|
Please note that code under [scripts/generator](scripts/generator/) is
|
|
from [cppclean](http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/) and released under
|
|
the Apache License, which is different from Google Mock's license.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started ##
|
|
|
|
If you are new to the project, we suggest that you read the user
|
|
documentation in the following order:
|
|
|
|
* Learn the [basics](../googletest/docs/primer.md) of
|
|
Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
|
|
* Read [Google Mock for Dummies](../googlemock/docs/ForDummies.md).
|
|
* Read the instructions below on how to build Google Mock.
|
|
|
|
You can also watch Zhanyong's [talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYpCyLI47rM) on Google Mock's usage and implementation.
|
|
|
|
Once you understand the basics, check out the rest of the docs:
|
|
|
|
* [CheatSheet](../googlemock/docs/CheatSheet.md) - all the commonly used stuff
|
|
at a glance.
|
|
* [CookBook](../googlemock/docs/CookBook.md) - recipes for getting things done,
|
|
including advanced techniques.
|
|
|
|
If you need help, please check the
|
|
[KnownIssues](docs/KnownIssues.md) and
|
|
[FrequentlyAskedQuestions](docs/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.md) before
|
|
posting a question on the
|
|
[discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googlemock).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using Google Mock Without Google Test ###
|
|
|
|
Google Mock is not a testing framework itself. Instead, it needs a
|
|
testing framework for writing tests. Google Mock works seamlessly
|
|
with [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest), but
|
|
you can also use it with [any C++ testing framework](../googlemock/docs/ForDummies.md#using-google-mock-with-any-testing-framework).
|
|
|
|
### Requirements for End Users ###
|
|
|
|
Google Mock is implemented on top of [Google Test](
|
|
http://github.com/google/googletest/), and depends on it.
|
|
You must use the bundled version of Google Test when using Google Mock.
|
|
|
|
You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing
|
|
framework, although it will still need Google Test. Please read
|
|
["Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework"](
|
|
../googlemock/docs/ForDummies.md#using-google-mock-with-any-testing-framework)
|
|
for instructions.
|
|
|
|
Google Mock depends on advanced C++ features and thus requires a more
|
|
modern compiler. The following are needed to use Google Mock:
|
|
|
|
#### Linux Requirements ####
|
|
|
|
* GNU-compatible Make or "gmake"
|
|
* POSIX-standard shell
|
|
* POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
|
|
* C++98-standard-compliant compiler (e.g. GCC 3.4 or newer)
|
|
|
|
#### Windows Requirements ####
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 or newer
|
|
|
|
#### Mac OS X Requirements ####
|
|
|
|
* Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
|
|
* Developer Tools Installed
|
|
|
|
### Requirements for Contributors ###
|
|
|
|
We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
|
|
build Google Mock and its tests, which has further requirements:
|
|
|
|
* Automake version 1.9 or newer
|
|
* Autoconf version 2.59 or newer
|
|
* Libtool / Libtoolize
|
|
* Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
|
|
re-generating certain source files from templates)
|
|
|
|
### Building Google Mock ###
|
|
|
|
#### Using CMake ####
|
|
|
|
If you have CMake available, it is recommended that you follow the
|
|
[build instructions][gtest_cmakebuild]
|
|
as described for Google Test.
|
|
|
|
If are using Google Mock with an
|
|
existing CMake project, the section
|
|
[Incorporating Into An Existing CMake Project][gtest_incorpcmake]
|
|
may be of particular interest.
|
|
To make it work for Google Mock you will need to change
|
|
|
|
target_link_libraries(example gtest_main)
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
target_link_libraries(example gmock_main)
|
|
|
|
This works because `gmock_main` library is compiled with Google Test.
|
|
|
|
#### Preparing to Build (Unix only) ####
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Unix system and plan to use the GNU Autotools build
|
|
system to build Google Mock (described below), you'll need to
|
|
configure it now.
|
|
|
|
To prepare the Autotools build system:
|
|
|
|
cd googlemock
|
|
autoreconf -fvi
|
|
|
|
To build Google Mock and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
|
|
build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact
|
|
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
|
|
straightforward.
|
|
|
|
This section shows how you can integrate Google Mock into your
|
|
existing build system.
|
|
|
|
Suppose you put Google Mock in directory `${GMOCK_DIR}` and Google Test
|
|
in `${GTEST_DIR}` (the latter is `${GMOCK_DIR}/gtest` by default). To
|
|
build Google Mock, create a library build target (or a project as
|
|
called by Visual Studio and Xcode) to compile
|
|
|
|
${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc and ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
|
|
${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK_DIR}/include
|
|
|
|
in the system header search path, and
|
|
|
|
${GTEST_DIR} and ${GMOCK_DIR}
|
|
|
|
in the normal header search path. Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc,
|
|
something like the following will do:
|
|
|
|
g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \
|
|
-isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \
|
|
-pthread -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
|
|
g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \
|
|
-isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \
|
|
-pthread -c ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc
|
|
ar -rv libgmock.a gtest-all.o gmock-all.o
|
|
|
|
(We need -pthread as Google Test and Google Mock use threads.)
|
|
|
|
Next, you should compile your test source file with
|
|
${GTEST\_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK\_DIR}/include in the header search
|
|
path, and link it with gmock and any other necessary libraries:
|
|
|
|
g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include \
|
|
-pthread path/to/your_test.cc libgmock.a -o your_test
|
|
|
|
As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can
|
|
use to build Google Mock on systems where GNU make is available
|
|
(e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin). It doesn't try to build Google
|
|
Mock's own tests. Instead, it just builds the Google Mock library and
|
|
a sample test. You can use it as a starting point for your own build
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
|
|
following commands should succeed:
|
|
|
|
cd ${GMOCK_DIR}/make
|
|
make
|
|
./gmock_test
|
|
|
|
If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of
|
|
[make/Makefile](make/Makefile) to make them go away.
|
|
|
|
### Windows ###
|
|
|
|
The msvc/2005 directory contains VC++ 2005 projects and the msvc/2010
|
|
directory contains VC++ 2010 projects for building Google Mock and
|
|
selected tests.
|
|
|
|
Change to the appropriate directory and run "msbuild gmock.sln" to
|
|
build the library and tests (or open the gmock.sln in the MSVC IDE).
|
|
If you want to create your own project to use with Google Mock, you'll
|
|
have to configure it to use the `gmock_config` propety sheet. For that:
|
|
|
|
* Open the Property Manager window (View | Other Windows | Property Manager)
|
|
* Right-click on your project and select "Add Existing Property Sheet..."
|
|
* Navigate to `gmock_config.vsprops` or `gmock_config.props` and select it.
|
|
* In Project Properties | Configuration Properties | General | Additional
|
|
Include Directories, type <path to Google Mock>/include.
|
|
|
|
### Tweaking Google Mock ###
|
|
|
|
Google Mock can be used in diverse environments. The default
|
|
configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in
|
|
some environments. However, you can easily tweak Google Mock by
|
|
defining control macros on the compiler command line. Generally,
|
|
these macros are named like `GTEST_XYZ` and you define them to either 1
|
|
or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature.
|
|
|
|
We list the most frequently used macros below. For a complete list,
|
|
see file [${GTEST\_DIR}/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h](
|
|
../googletest/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h).
|
|
|
|
### As a Shared Library (DLL) ###
|
|
|
|
Google Mock is compact, so most users can build and link it as a static
|
|
library for the simplicity. Google Mock can be used as a DLL, but the
|
|
same DLL must contain Google Test as well. See
|
|
[Google Test's README][gtest_readme]
|
|
for instructions on how to set up necessary compiler settings.
|
|
|
|
### Tweaking Google Mock ###
|
|
|
|
Most of Google Test's control macros apply to Google Mock as well.
|
|
Please see [Google Test's README][gtest_readme] for how to tweak them.
|
|
|
|
### Upgrading from an Earlier Version ###
|
|
|
|
We strive to keep Google Mock releases backward compatible.
|
|
Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the
|
|
users' long-term benefits. This section describes what you'll need to
|
|
do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Mock.
|
|
|
|
#### Upgrading from 1.1.0 or Earlier ####
|
|
|
|
You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1
|
|
tuple library. See the instructions in section "[Choosing a TR1 Tuple
|
|
Library](#choosing-a-tr1-tuple-library)".
|
|
|
|
#### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ####
|
|
|
|
On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test and
|
|
Google Mock use it in order to be thread-safe. For this to work, you
|
|
may need to tweak your compiler and/or linker flags. Please see the
|
|
"[Multi-threaded Tests](../googletest/README.md#multi-threaded-tests)" section in file Google Test's README for what you may need to do.
|
|
|
|
If you have custom matchers defined using `MatcherInterface` or
|
|
`MakePolymorphicMatcher()`, you'll need to update their definitions to
|
|
use the new matcher API (
|
|
[monomorphic](./docs/CookBook.md#writing-new-monomorphic-matchers),
|
|
[polymorphic](./docs/CookBook.md#writing-new-polymorphic-matchers)).
|
|
Matchers defined using `MATCHER()` or `MATCHER_P*()` aren't affected.
|
|
|
|
Happy testing!
