For example, +```cpp + MOCK_METHOD1_WITH_CALLTYPE(STDMETHODCALLTYPE, Foo, bool(int n)); + MOCK_CONST_METHOD2_WITH_CALLTYPE(STDMETHODCALLTYPE, Bar, int(double x, double y)); +``` +where `STDMETHODCALLTYPE` is defined by `<objbase.h>` on Windows. + +# Using Mocks in Tests # + +The typical flow is: + 1. Import the Google Mock names you need to use. All Google Mock names are in the `testing` namespace unless they are macros or otherwise noted. + 1. Create the mock objects. + 1. Optionally, set the default actions of the mock objects. + 1. Set your expectations on the mock objects (How will they be called? What wil they do?). + 1. Exercise code that uses the mock objects; if necessary, check the result using [Google Test](../../googletest/) assertions. + 1. When a mock objects is destructed, Google Mock automatically verifies that all expectations on it have been satisfied. + +Here is an example: +```cpp +using ::testing::Return; // #1 + +TEST(BarTest, DoesThis) { + MockFoo foo; // #2 + + ON_CALL(foo, GetSize()) // #3 + .WillByDefault(Return(1)); + // ... other default actions ... + + EXPECT_CALL(foo, Describe(5)) // #4 + .Times(3) + .WillRepeatedly(Return("Category 5")); + // ... other expectations ... + + EXPECT_EQ("good", MyProductionFunction(&foo)); // #5 +} // #6 +``` + +# Setting Default Actions # + +Google Mock has a **built-in default action** for any function that +returns `void`, `bool`, a numeric value, or a pointer. + +To customize the default action for functions with return type `T` globally: +```cpp +using ::testing::DefaultValue; + +// Sets the default value to be returned. T must be CopyConstructible. +DefaultValue<T>::Set(value); +// Sets a factory. Will be invoked on demand. T must be MoveConstructible. +// T MakeT(); +DefaultValue<T>::SetFactory(&MakeT); +// ... use the mocks ... +// Resets the default value. +DefaultValue<T>::Clear(); +``` + +To customize the default action for a particular method, use `ON_CALL()`: +```cpp +ON_CALL(mock_object, method(matchers)) + .With(multi_argument_matcher) ? + .WillByDefault(action); +``` + +# Setting Expectations # + +`EXPECT_CALL()` sets **expectations** on a mock method (How will it be +called? What will it do?): +```cpp +EXPECT_CALL(mock_object, method(matchers)) + .With(multi_argument_matcher) ? + .Times(cardinality) ? + .InSequence(sequences) * + .After(expectations) * + .WillOnce(action) * + .WillRepeatedly(action) ? + .RetiresOnSaturation(); ? +``` + +If `Times()` is omitted, the cardinality is assumed to be: + + * `Times(1)` when there is neither `WillOnce()` nor `WillRepeatedly()`; + * `Times(n)` when there are `n WillOnce()`s but no `WillRepeatedly()`, where `n` >= 1; or + * `Times(AtLeast(n))` when there are `n WillOnce()`s and a `WillRepeatedly()`, where `n` >= 0. + +A method with no `EXPECT_CALL()` is free to be invoked _any number of times_, and the default action will be taken each time. + +# Matchers # + +A **matcher** matches a _single_ argument. You can use it inside +`ON_CALL()` or `EXPECT_CALL()`, or use it to validate a value +directly: + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +| `EXPECT_THAT(value, matcher)` | Asserts that `value` matches `matcher`. | +| `ASSERT_THAT(value, matcher)` | The same as `EXPECT_THAT(value, matcher)`, except that it generates a **fatal** failure. | + +Built-in matchers (where `argument` is the function argument) are +divided into several categories: + +## Wildcard ## +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`_`|`argument` can be any value of the correct type.| +|`A<type>()` or `An<type>()`|`argument` can be any value of type `type`. | + +## Generic Comparison ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:---------------------|:------------------| +|`Eq(value)` or `value`|`argument == value`| +|`Ge(value)` |`argument >= value`| +|`Gt(value)` |`argument > value` | +|`Le(value)` |`argument <= value`| +|`Lt(value)` |`argument < value` | +|`Ne(value)` |`argument != value`| +|`IsNull()` |`argument` is a `NULL` pointer (raw or smart).| +|`NotNull()` |`argument` is a non-null pointer (raw or smart).| +|`Optional(m)` |`argument` is `optional<>` that contains a value matching `m`.| +|`VariantWith<T>(m)` |`argument` is `variant<>` that holds the alternative of type T with a value matching `m`.| +|`Ref(variable)` |`argument` is a reference to `variable`.| +|`TypedEq<type>(value)`|`argument` has type `type` and is equal to `value`. You may need to use this instead of `Eq(value)` when the mock function is overloaded.| + +Except `Ref()`, these matchers make a _copy_ of `value` in case it's +modified or destructed later. If the compiler complains that `value` +doesn't have a public copy constructor, try wrap it in `ByRef()`, +e.g. `Eq(ByRef(non_copyable_value))`. If you do that, make sure +`non_copyable_value` is not changed afterwards, or the meaning of your +matcher will be changed. + +## Floating-Point Matchers ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:-------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +|`DoubleEq(a_double)`|`argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as unequal. | +|`FloatEq(a_float)` |`argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as unequal. | +|`NanSensitiveDoubleEq(a_double)`|`argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as equal. | +|`NanSensitiveFloatEq(a_float)`|`argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as equal. | + +The above matchers use ULP-based comparison (the same as used in +[Google Test](../../googletest/)). They +automatically pick a reasonable error bound based on the absolute +value of the expected value. `DoubleEq()` and `FloatEq()` conform to +the IEEE standard, which requires comparing two NaNs for equality to +return false. The `NanSensitive*` version instead treats two NaNs as +equal, which is often what a user wants. + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`DoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal.| +|`FloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal.| +|`NanSensitiveDoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal.| +|`NanSensitiveFloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal.| + +## String Matchers ## + +The `argument` can be either a C string or a C++ string object: + +| Matcher | Description | +|:----------------------|:--------------------------------------------------| +|`ContainsRegex(string)`|`argument` matches the given regular expression. | +|`EndsWith(suffix)` |`argument` ends with string `suffix`. | +|`HasSubstr(string)` |`argument` contains `string` as a sub-string. | +|`MatchesRegex(string)` |`argument` matches the given regular expression with the match starting at the first character and ending at the last character.| +|`StartsWith(prefix)` |`argument` starts with string `prefix`. | +|`StrCaseEq(string)` |`argument` is equal to `string`, ignoring case. | +|`StrCaseNe(string)` |`argument` is not equal to `string`, ignoring case.| +|`StrEq(string)` |`argument` is equal to `string`. | +|`StrNe(string)` |`argument` is not equal to `string`. | + +`ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` use the regular expression +syntax defined +[here](../../googletest/docs/advanced.md#regular-expression-syntax). +`StrCaseEq()`, `StrCaseNe()`, `StrEq()`, and `StrNe()` work for wide +strings as well. + +## Container Matchers ## + +Most STL-style containers support `==`, so you can use +`Eq(expected_container)` or simply `expected_container` to match a +container exactly. If you want to write the elements in-line, +match them more flexibly, or get more informative messages, you can use: + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +| `ContainerEq(container)` | The same as `Eq(container)` except that the failure message also includes which elements are in one container but not the other. | +| `Contains(e)` | `argument` contains an element that matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. | +| `Each(e)` | `argument` is a container where _every_ element matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. | +| `ElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, where the i-th element matches `ei`, which can be a value or a matcher. 0 to 10 arguments are allowed. | +| `ElementsAreArray({ e0, e1, ..., en })`, `ElementsAreArray(array)`, or `ElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `ElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, or C-style array. | +| `IsEmpty()` | `argument` is an empty container (`container.empty()`). | +| `Pointwise(m, container)` | `argument` contains the same number of elements as in `container`, and for all i, (the i-th element in `argument`, the i-th element in `container`) match `m`, which is a matcher on 2-tuples. E.g. `Pointwise(Le(), upper_bounds)` verifies that each element in `argument` doesn't exceed the corresponding element in `upper_bounds`. See more detail below. | +| `SizeIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose size matches `m`. E.g. `SizeIs(2)` or `SizeIs(Lt(2))`. | +| `UnorderedElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, and under some permutation each element matches an `ei` (for a different `i`), which can be a value or a matcher. 0 to 10 arguments are allowed. | +| `UnorderedElementsAreArray({ e0, e1, ..., en })`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array)`, or `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `UnorderedElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, or C-style array. | +| `WhenSorted(m)` | When `argument` is sorted using the `<` operator, it matches container matcher `m`. E.g. `WhenSorted(ElementsAre(1, 2, 3))` verifies that `argument` contains elements `1`, `2`, and `3`, ignoring order. | +| `WhenSortedBy(comparator, m)` | The same as `WhenSorted(m)`, except that the given comparator instead of `<` is used to sort `argument`. E.g. `WhenSortedBy(std::greater<int>(), ElementsAre(3, 2, 1))`. | + +Notes: + + * These matchers can also match: + 1. a native array passed by reference (e.g. in `Foo(const int (&a)[5])`), and + 1. an array passed as a pointer and a count (e.g. in `Bar(const T* buffer, int len)` -- see [Multi-argument Matchers](#multiargument-matchers)). + * The array being matched may be multi-dimensional (i.e. its elements can be arrays). + * `m` in `Pointwise(m, ...)` should be a matcher for `::testing::tuple<T, U>` where `T` and `U` are the element type of the actual container and the expected container, respectively. For example, to compare two `Foo` containers where `Foo` doesn't support `operator==` but has an `Equals()` method, one might write: + +```cpp +using ::testing::get; +MATCHER(FooEq, "") { + return get<0>(arg).Equals(get<1>(arg)); +} +... +EXPECT_THAT(actual_foos, Pointwise(FooEq(), expected_foos)); +``` + +## Member Matchers ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`Field(&class::field, m)`|`argument.field` (or `argument->field` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_.| +|`Key(e)`|`argument.first` matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. E.g. `Contains(Key(Le(5)))` can verify that a `map` contains a key `<= 5`.| +|`Pair(m1, m2)`|`argument` is an `std::pair` whose `first` field matches `m1` and `second` field matches `m2`.| +|`Property(&class::property, m)`|`argument.property()` (or `argument->property()` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_.| + +## Matching the Result of a Function or Functor ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:---------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------| +|`ResultOf(f, m)`|`f(argument)` matches matcher `m`, where `f` is a function or functor.| + +## Pointer Matchers ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +|`Pointee(m)` |`argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw pointer) points to a value that matches matcher `m`.| +|`WhenDynamicCastTo<T>(m)`| when `argument` is passed through `dynamic_cast<T>()`, it matches matcher `m`. | + +## Multiargument Matchers ## + +Technically, all matchers match a _single_ value. A "multi-argument" +matcher is just one that matches a _tuple_. The following matchers can +be used to match a tuple `(x, y)`: + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`Eq()`|`x == y`| +|`Ge()`|`x >= y`| +|`Gt()`|`x > y` | +|`Le()`|`x <= y`| +|`Lt()`|`x < y` | +|`Ne()`|`x != y`| + +You can use the following selectors to pick a subset of the arguments +(or reorder them) to participate in the matching: + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`AllArgs(m)`|Equivalent to `m`. Useful as syntactic sugar in `.With(AllArgs(m))`.| +|`Args<N1, N2, ..., Nk>(m)`|The tuple of the `k` selected (using 0-based indices) arguments matches `m`, e.g. `Args<1, 2>(Eq())`.| + +## Composite Matchers ## + +You can make a matcher from one or more other matchers: + +| Matcher | Description | +|:-----------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------| +|`AllOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)`|`argument` matches all of the matchers `m1` to `mn`. | +|`AnyOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)`|`argument` matches at least one of the matchers `m1` to `mn`.| +|`Not(m)` |`argument` doesn't match matcher `m`. | + +## Adapters for Matchers ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`MatcherCast<T>(m)`|casts matcher `m` to type `Matcher<T>`.| +|`SafeMatcherCast<T>(m)`| [safely casts](cook_book.md#casting-matchers) matcher `m` to type `Matcher<T>`.| +|`Truly(predicate)`|`predicate(argument)` returns something considered by C++ to be true, where `predicate` is a function or functor.| + +## Matchers as Predicates ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`Matches(m)(value)`|evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`. You can use `Matches(m)` alone as a unary functor.| +|`ExplainMatchResult(m, value, result_listener)`|evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`, explaining the result to `result_listener`.| +|`Value(value, m)`|evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`.| + +## Defining Matchers ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +| `MATCHER(IsEven, "") { return (arg % 2) == 0; }` | Defines a matcher `IsEven()` to match an even number. | +| `MATCHER_P(IsDivisibleBy, n, "") { *result_listener << "where the remainder is " << (arg % n); return (arg % n) == 0; }` | Defines a macher `IsDivisibleBy(n)` to match a number divisible by `n`. | +| `MATCHER_P2(IsBetween, a, b, std::string(negation ? "isn't" : "is") + " between " + PrintToString(a) + " and " + PrintToString(b)) { return a <= arg && arg <= b; }` | Defines a matcher `IsBetween(a, b)` to match a value in the range [`a`, `b`]. | + +**Notes:** + + 1. The `MATCHER*` macros cannot be used inside a function or class. + 1. The matcher body must be _purely functional_ (i.e. it cannot have any side effect, and the result must not depend on anything other than the value being matched and the matcher parameters). + 1. You can use `PrintToString(x)` to convert a value `x` of any type to a string. + +## Matchers as Test Assertions ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`ASSERT_THAT(expression, m)`|Generates a [fatal failure](../../googletest/docs/primer.md#assertions) if the value of `expression` doesn't match matcher `m`.| +|`EXPECT_THAT(expression, m)`|Generates a non-fatal failure if the value of `expression` doesn't match matcher `m`.| + +# Actions # + +**Actions** specify what a mock function should do when invoked. + +## Returning a Value ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`Return()`|Return from a `void` mock function.| +|`Return(value)`|Return `value`. If the type of `value` is different to the mock function's return type, `value` is converted to the latter type <i>at the time the expectation is set</i>, not when the action is executed.| +|`ReturnArg<N>()`|Return the `N`-th (0-based) argument.| +|`ReturnNew<T>(a1, ..., ak)`|Return `new T(a1, ..., ak)`; a different object is created each time.| +|`ReturnNull()`|Return a null pointer.| +|`ReturnPointee(ptr)`|Return the value pointed to by `ptr`.| +|`ReturnRef(variable)`|Return a reference to `variable`.| +|`ReturnRefOfCopy(value)`|Return a reference to a copy of `value`; the copy lives as long as the action.| + +## Side Effects ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`Assign(&variable, value)`|Assign `value` to variable.| +|`DeleteArg<N>()`| Delete the `N`-th (0-based) argument, which must be a pointer.| +|`SaveArg<N>(pointer)`| Save the `N`-th (0-based) argument to `*pointer`.| +|`SaveArgPointee<N>(pointer)`| Save the value pointed to by the `N`-th (0-based) argument to `*pointer`.| +|`SetArgReferee<N>(value)` | Assign value to the variable referenced by the `N`-th (0-based) argument. | +|`SetArgPointee<N>(value)` |Assign `value` to the variable pointed by the `N`-th (0-based) argument.| +|`SetArgumentPointee<N>(value)`|Same as `SetArgPointee<N>(value)`. Deprecated. Will be removed in v1.7.0.| +|`SetArrayArgument<N>(first, last)`|Copies the elements in source range [`first`, `last`) to the array pointed to by the `N`-th (0-based) argument, which can be either a pointer or an iterator. The action does not take ownership of the elements in the source range.| +|`SetErrnoAndReturn(error, value)`|Set `errno` to `error` and return `value`.| +|`Throw(exception)`|Throws the given exception, which can be any copyable value. Available since v1.1.0.| + +## Using a Function or a Functor as an Action ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`Invoke(f)`|Invoke `f` with the arguments passed to the mock function, where `f` can be a global/static function or a functor.| +|`Invoke(object_pointer, &class::method)`|Invoke the {method on the object with the arguments passed to the mock function.| +|`InvokeWithoutArgs(f)`|Invoke `f`, which can be a global/static function or a functor. `f` must take no arguments.| +|`InvokeWithoutArgs(object_pointer, &class::method)`|Invoke the method on the object, which takes no arguments.| +|`InvokeArgument<N>(arg1, arg2, ..., argk)`|Invoke the mock function's `N`-th (0-based) argument, which must be a function or a functor, with the `k` arguments.| + +The return value of the invoked function is used as the return value +of the action. + +When defining a function or functor to be used with `Invoke*()`, you can declare any unused parameters as `Unused`: +```cpp + double Distance(Unused, double x, double y) { return sqrt(x*x + y*y); } + ... + EXPECT_CALL(mock, Foo("Hi", _, _)).WillOnce(Invoke(Distance)); +``` + +In `InvokeArgument<N>(...)`, if an argument needs to be passed by reference, wrap it inside `ByRef()`. For example, +```cpp + InvokeArgument<2>(5, string("Hi"), ByRef(foo)) +``` +calls the mock function's #2 argument, passing to it `5` and `string("Hi")` by value, and `foo` by reference. + +## Default Action ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:--------|:------------| +|`DoDefault()`|Do the default action (specified by `ON_CALL()` or the built-in one).| + +**Note:** due to technical reasons, `DoDefault()` cannot be used inside a composite action - trying to do so will result in a run-time error. + +## Composite Actions ## + +| Matcher | Description | +|:-----------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +|`DoAll(a1, a2, ..., an)` |Do all actions `a1` to `an` and return the result of `an` in each invocation.
