Using scalamock outside of MockFactory

Question

I want to add integration tests to my project using cucumber feature files. I have got this working using this project as an example: https://github.com/jecklgamis/cucumber-jvm-scala-example

The problem I am running into is when I want to mock some objects. ScalaMock and EasyMock all seem to need scalatest or something similar.

My build.sbt has these lines:

    libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "io.cucumber" %% "cucumber-scala" % "2.0.1" % Test,
  "io.cucumber" % "cucumber-junit" % "2.0.1" % Test,
  "org.scalamock" %% "scalamock" % "4.0.0" % Test,
  "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.0.1" % Test,
  etc..

My stepdef file has this:

import com.typesafe.config.{Config, ConfigFactory}
import cucumber.api.scala.{EN, ScalaDsl}
import eu.xeli.jpigpio.JPigpio

class StepDefs extends ScalaDsl with EN {
  var config: Config = null
  var jpigpio: JPigpio = null

  Given("""^an instance of pigpio$""") { () =>
    jpigpio = mock[JPigpio]
  }
}

The mock[JPigpio] call gives a symbol not found error. I assume because this class does not extend MockFactory.

How can I use scalamock outside of an MockFactory class?

Bit of a quick and dirty example that does not pull in Scalatest, but I'm sure you can piece the rest together. I'd actually be curious to see this working with Cucumber :)

import org.scalamock.MockFactoryBase
import org.scalamock.clazz.Mock

object NoScalaTestExample extends Mock {
  trait Cat {
    def meow(): Unit
    def isHungry: Boolean
  }

  class MyMockFactoryBase extends MockFactoryBase {
    override type ExpectationException = Exception
    override protected def newExpectationException(message: String, methodName: Option[Symbol]): Exception =
      throw new Exception(s"$message, $methodName")

    def verifyAll(): Unit = withExpectations(() => ())
  }

  implicit var mc: MyMockFactoryBase = _
  var cat: Cat = _

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // given: I have a mock context
    mc = new MyMockFactoryBase
    // and am mocking a cat
    cat = mc.mock[Cat]
    // and the cat meows
    cat.meow _ expects() once()
    // and the cat is always hungry
    cat.isHungry _ expects() returning true anyNumberOfTimes()

    // then the cat needs feeding
    assert(cat.isHungry)

    // and the mock verifies
    mc.verifyAll()
  }
}

This will actually throw as the meows expectation is not satisfied (just to demo)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Unsatisfied expectation:

Expected:
inAnyOrder {
  <mock-1> Cat.meow() once (never called - UNSATISFIED)
  <mock-1> Cat.isHungry() any number of times (called once)
}

Actual:
  <mock-1> Cat.isHungry(), None

    at NoScalaTestExample$MyMockFactoryBase.reportUnsatisfiedExpectation(NoScalaTestExample.scala:10)

It took me a while to find the time to try this out. I have a working example of Scalamock with cucumber here: https://github.com/Xeli/aqua-pi/blob/ad30649db7a17a65317cf090c8649e942e38419d/src/test/scala/eu/xeli/aquariumPI/cucumber/steps/Steps.scala#L40 Is it possible for scalamock to produce exceptions from the verify call? Rather than using withExceptions() ? — Richard Deurwaarder, Feb 10 '18 at 13:49
As `verifyExpectations` is private at the moment, the only way to access it is via the `withExpectations` call. Also, <3 RPi — Philipp, Feb 11 '18 at 19:33
