#31 Error thrown when attempting to stub WebService

[Mike Stead]

I'm using ASMock 1.0 with FlexUnit-4.1.0_RC2 and attempting to stub a mx.rpc.soap.WebService like so:

[Rule] public var includeMocks:IncludeMocksRule = new IncludeMocksRule([WebService]);

[Before]
public function setUp():void
{
var mockRepository:MockRepository = new MockRepository();
var service:WebService = WebService(mockRepository.createStub(WebService));
}

and get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.

Hi Mike,

That's a very strange error - it looks like it can't find a class within floxy (asmock's dynamic proxy generation framework)

Do you have any other mocking tests? (it seems like this would fail for everything)

What version of the Flex SDK are you using? It might be worth re-compiling flemit/floxy/asmock from source using the same version of the SDK.

[Mike Stead]

Hey Richard, I'm using Flex 4.1.

I've recompiled from source both ASMock and ASMockFlexUnit41 and still get the same error. I can seem to mock other classes ok.

I attempted to attach a small example project but there's a limit to upload size so I've sent you a PM.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I've still not received that PM. You can try sending it to me directly at <firstname> @ <firstname> <lastname> .com

There's no spaces or dots between words.

Cheers,
Richard

Btw, if you can mock other objects you might consider abstracting WebService using an interface and mocking that to workaround the problem until I see fix the source.

[Mike Stead]

Hey Richard, sorry for the delay. I've emailed through the test project. Let me know if you don't receive it.
