Injecting a Mock into a Component Under Test - mxunit/mxunit GitHub Wiki
After you’ve created a mock and defined its behaviour, you’ll want to inject it into the component under test (CUT). That is a simple matter of passing it into the method that already exists to allow for dependency injection. This is generally done either via the constructor (init() method), or via a setter.
For example, if the CUT uses constructor injection:
<cfcomponent hint="Example Component To Mock" output="false">
<cffunction name="init">
<cfargument name="aCollaborator" />
<cfset variables.myOtherComponent = arguments.aCollaborator />
<cfreturn this />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>You would create and inject a mock like this:
<cfset myMock = mock() />
<cfset myMock.getName().returns('The Dude') />
<cfset myComponent = createObject('component','MyComponent').init(myMock) />If the CUT uses setter injection:
<cfcomponent hint="Example Component To Mock" output="false">
<cffunction name="setMyOtherComponent">
<cfargument name="aCollaborator" />
<cfset variables.myOtherComponent = arguments.aCollaborator />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>You would create and inject a mock like this:
<cfset myMock = mock() />
<cfset myMock.getName().returns('The Dude') />
<cfset myComponent = createObject('component','MyComponent') />
<cfset myComponent.setMyOtherComponent(myMock) />
