DMocks: Mock Objects for the D Programming Language
DMocks is a framework for mock objects patterned after Rhino Mocks. Mock objects simplify and improve unit testing by allowing you to test one class at a time, independent of any dependencies or referenced classes.
DMocks only supports recent versions of DMD 2. It is thus both a problem in search of a solution (mocks for DMD1) and a solution in search of a problem (people using an experimental compiler aren't quite as likely to use TDD, I think). But the supply is there, awaiting the demand!
DMocks is licensed under the BSD license. If you need it in a different license for some reason, talk to me -- dhasenan at gmail dot com.
Status
As of 26 February, you should be able to mock any interface or (non-final) constructorless class. See Caveats for details.
Starting Points
- Downloads -- Getting dmocks (or, just get the current version)
- BriefUsage -- if you are familiar with mock objects and just want a quick guide to dmocks
- Examples -- Example usages of mocks. This should be a good introduction to both DMocks and mock objects in general.
- Caveats -- Things to keep in mind when using mock objects
- FuturePlans -- What will happen with regards to DMocks
