Welcome to MockSwift

Release Build Status Codacy Badge Codacy Badge documentation Swift Package Manager compatible Swift license MIT

MockSwift allows you to write mocks and make better tests. Because MockSwift is an open source library 100% written in Swift, it is AVAILABLE ON ALL PLATFORMS.
Initially MockSwift is inspired by Mockito.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

MockSwift has been designed to work with Swift Package Manager.

// swift-tools-version:5.3

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
  name: "MyProject",
  dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/leoture/MockSwift.git", from: "1.0.0")
  ],
  targets: [
    .testTarget(name: "MyProjectTests", dependencies: ["MockSwift"])
  ]
)

Usage

Quick Look

class AwesomeTests: XCTestCase {

  private var printer: Printer!
  @Mock private var userService: UserService

  override func setUp() {
    printer = Printer(userService)
  }

  func test_sayHello() {
    // Given
    given(userService).fetchUserName(of: "you").willReturn("my friend")
    given(userService).isConnected.get.willReturn(true)
    given(userService)[cache: .any()].set(.any()).willDoNothing()

    // When
    let message = printer.sayHello(to: "you", from: "me")

    // Then
    then(userService).fetchUserName(of: .any()).called()
    then(userService).isConnected.get.called(times: 1)
    then(userService)[cache: "you"].set("my friend").calledOnce()

    XCTAssertEqual(message, "me: Hello my friend")
  }
}

Details

Suppose that you have a UserService protocol.

struct User: Equatable {
  let identifier: String
  let name: String
}

protocol UserService {
  func fetch(identifier: String) -> User
}

And you want to test this UserCore class.

class UserCore {
  private let service: UserService

  init(_ service: UserService) {
    self.service = service
  }

  func fetchCurrentUser() -> User {
    service.fetch(identifier: "current")
  }
}

Make better tests

Now, with MockSwift, you can use a mocked UserService in your tests with the @Mock annotation.

@Mock private var service: UserService

// equivalent to

private var service: UserService = Mock()

And easly configure it to fully test UseCore.

class UserCoreTests: XCTestCase {

  private var core: UserCore!
  @Mock private var service: UserService

  override func setUp() {
    core = UserCore(service)
  }

  func test_fetchCurrentUser() {
    // Given
    let expectedUser = User(identifier: "current", name: "John")

    given(service).fetch(identifier: .any()).willReturn(expectedUser)

    // When
    let user = core.fetchCurrentUser()

    // Then
    then(service).fetch(identifier: .any()).called()
    XCTAssertEqual(user, expectedUser)
  }
}

Given

given() enables you to define behaviours.
example:

given(service).fetch(identifier: .any()).willReturn(expectedUser)

// equivalent to

given(service) {
  $0.fetch(identifier: .any()).willReturn(expectedUser)
}
given(service) {
  $0.fetch(identifier: "current")
    .willReturn(expectedUser, expectedUser1, expectedUser2)

  $0.fetch(identifier: .match(when: \.isEmpty))
    .will { (params) -> User in
            // do something else
            return expectedUser
          }
}

you can also define behaviours when you instantiate the mock.

@Mock({
  $0.fetch(identifier: .any()).willReturn(expectedUser)
})
private var service: UserService

Then

then() enables you to verify calls.
example:

then(service).fetch(identifier: .any()).called()

// equivalent to

then(service) {
  $0.fetch(identifier: .any()).called()
}
then(service) {
  $0.fetch(identifier: "current").called(times: >=2)

  $0.fetch(identifier: == "").called(times: 0)
}

You can go further and verify order of calls

let assertion = then(service).fetch(identifier: "current").called(times: >=2)
then(service).fetch(identifier: == "").called(times: 1, after: assertion)

Stubs

In MockSwift, stubs are default values that are returned when no behaviours has been found.

Global Stubs

You can define a global stub for any type. It will concern all mocks you will use in every tests.

extension User: GlobalStub {
  static func stub() -> User {
    User(identifier: "id", name: "John")
  }
}

Local Stubs

You can also define a stub localy for any type. It will concern only the current mock.

@Mock(localStubs: [
      User.self => User(identifier: "id", name: "John")
])
private var service: UserService

Strategy

The default strategy is to find behaviour defined with given(). If no behaviour is found, it will return a local stub. If no local stub is found, it will return a global stub.

@Mock private var service: UserService

// equivalent to

@Mock(strategy: .default)
private var service: UserService

// equivalent to

@Mock(strategy: [.given, .localStubs, .globalStubs])
private var service: UserService

You can change the order of the strategy list or remove items as you want.

Write mocks

Automatically

MockSwift provides a stencil template for sourcery. You can use the AutoMockable annotation to generate code.

// sourcery: AutoMockable
protocol UserService {
  func fetch(identifier: String) -> User
}

To generate code at every build, you can add a build phase before Compile Sources.

sourcery \
--sources MyLibrary \
--templates MyLibraryTests/path/to/MockSwift.stencil \
--output MyLibraryTests/path/to/GeneratedMocks.swift \
--args module=MyLibrary

Manually

To enable MockSwift for UserService type, you have to extend Mock.

extension Mock: UserService where WrappedType == UserService {
  public func fetch(identifier: String) -> User {
    mocked(identifier)
  }
}

To allow behaviour definition through given() method, you have to extend Given.

extension Given where WrappedType == UserService {
  public func fetch(identifier: Predicate<String>) -> Mockable<User> {
    mockable(identifier)
  }
  public func fetch(identifier: String) -> Mockable<User> {
    mockable(identifier)
  }
}

To allow call verification through then() method, you have to extend Then.

extension Then where WrappedType == UserService {
  public func fetch(identifier: Predicate<String>) -> Verifiable<User> {
    verifiable(identifier)
  }
  public func fetch(identifier: String) -> Verifiable<User> {
    verifiable(identifier)
  }
}
