Mocking an subclass of ManagedObject

[jyaunches]

Is it possible? I'm just starting out and am receiving some build errors that I don't quite understand.

Hi there. Can you be more specific and come with a use case where you would want to mock a subclass of ManagedObject.

Hello there.
Coming from OCMock I am now using Mockit and I'm enjoying it.
However, there is something about stubbing properties that I do not seem to understand.

I've tried to override a property and override the getter and setter as describe in the example below.

class MCKMyCustomView: MyCustomView, Mock {
    
    let callHandler: CallHandler
    
    init(testCase: XCTestCase, frame: CGRect) {
        self.callHandler = CallHandlerImpl(withTestCase: testCase)
        
        super.init(frame: frame)
    }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
    
    func instanceType() -> MCKMyCustomView {
        return self
    }
    
    
    override open var infosLabel: UILabel? {
        get {
            return self.callHandler.accept(nil, ofFunction: #function, atFile: #file, inLine: #line, withArgs: nil) as? UILabel

        }
        set {
            self.callHandler.accept(nil, ofFunction: #function, atFile: #file, inLine: #line, withArgs: nil)
        }
    }
}

My attempt was to stub the property in my testing class as follow:

// Mock
let mck_view = MCKMyCustomView(testCase: self, frame: frame)

// Stub
mck_view.when().call(withReturnValue: mck_view.infosLabel).thenReturn(nil)

But stubbing this way was not always successful. I sometimes observed weird behaviours like Xcode telling me that the property has been called or not called once as if I was doing a check like a Once() or Never() on a method. I did observed property behaving as it was not stubbed.

I am wondering if the Mockit framework allows to stub properties or am I doing it the wrong way ?

Thanks for you time.

Hello sabirvirtuoso, did you find the time to look at the issue ?
Have a nice day.

Hi,

stubbing properties, more specifically getters and setter seems to be out of scope of the current implementation. Please feel free to add this feature and send me a PR.

Thanks
