Re: [NMock2-Dev] Custom Matchers tutorial

[Nat P. <nat...@gm...>]

Hi.  Sorry I jumped the gun a bit here.  The tutorials on the site are fine=
.

One suggestion: the tutorial should describe the idiom of creating
factory methods for creating actions and matchers.  Yes, you can do
...Will(new BlahBlahBlahAction()) but doing that makes tests hard to
read. The whole point of  jMock and NMock2 is to provide a embedded
domain-specific language that can be seamlessly extended by users, and
this should be demonstrated at every opportunity in the tutorials and
documentation.  The end result -- clear tests/specifications -- is
really worth it.
