Hi again
Ok, so I'm having a little research fling with JavaScript, and I've
uncovered something I hadn't seen before: "spying". Basically,
inspecting mocks after-the-fact, rather than setting expectations
upfront.
Here are the articles I found:
http://ajaxian.com/archives/mockme-a-new-javascript-mocking-framework
http://blog.johanneslink.net/2008/08/08/ajax-travelogue-part-6-mocking-in-javascript/
http://blog.johanneslink.net/2008/08/09/ajax-travelogue-part-7-mockme/
Does anyone know more about this technique, and its pros and cons vs
expectation-based mocking as used in RSpec mocks?
Thanks for any info
Ashley
Pat has been working on adding the spy pattern to rspec and JoeSniff has
already added it to the rr mocking framework on github I believe. There
have been some recent posts on this mailing list about it. Searching
for spy in this groups past threads should give you some links to learn
more. HTH
