Re: [Wavepacket-ng-devel] task #4 - evaluating some unit testing and mocking frameworks

[Piotr B. <dms...@gm...>]

Hello,

After evaluation of cxxtest i would like to describe my experience with
hippomocks. One feature that drew my attention to the framework is the
simplicity in creating mock objects. There is no need to write some
boilerplate code on your own to describe the behavior of the mocked
objects. Only the interface definition of the object must be made known to
the framework. Check out the repository to see some example. Also, it is
easy to install - it consists of just one header file - and the
documentation seems to be satisfactory.

Trying to demonstrates the usage of sequences (one function called after
another) i came across an challenge. I got the error message "Test failed:
Function called without expectation!". Although my code seems to be OK, the
test case fails. After some google search I found a post with the same
problem - http://www.samhartsfield.com/dokuwiki/info/cxx_libraries

"I had trouble getting it to work as expected; the error messages about
expectations didn't make sense enough to allow me figure it out.
Specifically the message "Function called without expectation"."

For now, i would go on and pick up another framework to examine.
