Because you don't want to study the details of yet another framework, mokku is a clipboard-based mocking framework for Go that gets out of your way.

This tool has been built with inspiration lovingly taken from Moq, and fuelled by the frustration of using gomock.

Key ideas:

• Invisible: No need to introduce dependencies or //go:generate directives in your codebase.
• Integration friendly: Easy to integrate in your workflow, regardless of editor.
• File/package agnostic: mokku doesn't care where exactly your code lives on your system or even whether it compiles yet.

Installation

$ go get github.com/kinbiko/mokku/cmd/mokku

Usage

# Copy the interface
$ mokku
# Paste the mock

That's it. Below is an example of how to use mokku within vim.

Using the generated code

If you have been writing your own mocks or if you're familiar with Moq then the usage will look very familiar to you:

func TestRegisterUser(t *testing.T) {
	var (
		got = ""
		exp = "kinbiko"
	)

	mock := &UserRepositoryMock{
		CreateFunc: func(userName string) error {
			got = userName
			return nil
		},
	}

	RegisterUser(exp, mock)

	if got != exp {
		t.Errorf("expected user name '%s' but got '%s'", exp, got)
	}
}

func RegisterUser(userName string, repo UserRepository) {
	// ... Code that includes a call to 'repo.Create(userName)'
}

Defining Custom Templates

You can also define your own custom template to use for your mocks, by defining MOKKU_TEMPLATE_PATH that is the path to a file containing a Go text template, that uses the same variables found in the default template:

const defaultTemplate = `
type {{.TypeName}}Mock struct { {{ range .Methods }}
	{{.Name}}Func func{{.Signature}}{{ end }}
}
{{if .Methods }}{{$typeName := .TypeName}}
{{range $val := .Methods}}func (m *{{$typeName}}Mock) {{$val.Name}}{{$val.Signature}} {
	if m.{{$val.Name}}Func == nil {
		panic("unexpected call to {{$val.Name}}")
	}
	{{if $val.HasReturn}}return {{ end }}m.{{$val.Name}}Func{{$val.OrderedParams}}
}
{{ end }}{{ end }}`

See the GoDocs for a more detailed explanation of the template variables.
