Mock-Quick is here to solve the current problems with Mocking
|
||
|
|
libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a couple Mocking libraries available on CPAN. The primary
|
||
|
|
problems with these libraries include verbose syntax, and most
|
||
|
|
importantly side-effects. Some Mocking libraries expect you to mock
|
||
|
|
a specific class, and will unload it then redefine it. This is
|
||
|
|
particularly a problem if you only want to override a class on a
|
||
|
|
lexical level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mock-Quick provides a declarative mocking interface that results
|
||
|
|
in a very concise, but clear syntax. There are separate facilities
|
||
|
|
for mocking object instances, and classes. You can quickly create
|
||
|
|
an instance of an object with custom attributes and methods. You
|
||
|
|
can also quickly create an anonymous class, optionally inheriting
|
||
|
|
from another, with whatever methods you desire.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mock-Quick also provides a tool that provides an OO interface to
|
||
|
|
overriding methods in existing classes. This tool also allows for
|
||
|
|
the restoration of the original class methods. Best of all this is
|
||
|
|
a localized tool, when your control object falls out of scope the
|
||
|
|
original class is restored.
