Unit Testing with mocks

[chrisfaulkner]

Hi

SO I have several tests working with my web flow.

The first test I wrote, I had this section in my test (overriding AbstractXmlFlowExecutionTests, of course). I am using JMock but that is incidental.

@Override
protected void configureFlowBuilderContext(MockFlowBuilderContext builderContext) {
	final MyService myService = mockery.mock(MyService .class);
mockery.checking(new Expectations() {{
	    	exactly(1).of(myService).doStuff();will(returnValue(something));
	    }});

		builderContext.registerBean("myService", myService );
	}

So this covered what happened upon entry to the flow, I wanted one call to something that happens on-entry. It only happens once.

All good so far. Now for the test on the next transition. I want to add some additional expectations within the the new test itself. So how can I get the mocked service in the new test ?

Or do I really have to assert all my expectations in the configureFlowBuilderContext method ? This is what I have done to date but it means that I tend to end up with more test case classes than I might otherwise have.



Cheers
