Mocha is a library for mocking and stubbing using a syntax like that of
|
||
|
|
JMock, and SchMock. Most commonly Mocha is used in conjunction with
|
||
|
|
Test::Unit, but it can be used in other contexts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of its main advantages is that it allows you to mock and stub methods
|
||
|
|
on real (non-mock) classes and instances. You can for example stub
|
||
|
|
ActiveRecord instance methods like create, save, destroy and even class
|
||
|
|
methods like find to avoid hitting the database in unit tests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mocha provides a unified, simple and readable syntax for both traditional
|
||
|
|
mocking and for mocking with real objects.
