I am new to using Mockery and confused with the terminology alias and overload . Can anyone please explain to me when to use which? Overload is used to create an "instance mock". This will "intercept" when a new instance of a class is created and the mock will be used instead. For example if this code is to be tested: class ClassToTest { public function methodToTest() { $myClass = new MyClass(); $result = $myClass->someMethod(); return $result; } } You would create an instance mock using overload and define the expectations like this: public function testMethodToTest() { $mock = Mockery::mock(

Today I ran into the following problem with NUnit. I have a class, that derives from a generic class. I started to do some serialization tests and tested for equality using the Is.EqualTo() function of NUnit. I started to suspect something is wrong, when a test that should have failed passed instead. When I used obj1.Equals(obj2) instead it failed as it should. To investigate I created the following tests: namespace NUnit.Tests { using Framework; public class ThatNUnit { [Test] public void IsNotEqualTo_ClientsNotEqual_Passes() { var client1 = new DerrivedClient(); var client2 = new

I've written a few tests for my meteor app. As they have setup and teardown methods that remove all documents or populate with new ones, I'd like to run them on a database dedicated to testing. I notice the db is stored in .meteor/local/db . Ideally I'd like to have db_test and db_dev accessed form different ports. Is this possible? Justin Case You'll have to run two mongod processes e.g. # Dev mongod --port 27017 --dbpath .meteor/local/db_dev # Testing mongod --port 28017 --dbpath .meteor/local/db_test [Edit] This should work. Using the leaderboard example project: MONGO_URL="mongodb://127.0

I'm writing some unit tests to ensure a User model cannot have a password < 8 characters long. I started with a User model: class User < ActiveRecord::Base ... validates :password, :length =>{ :minimum => 90, :too_short => "password is too short, must be at least %{count} characters" }, :on => :create end And a user_spec.rb test: describe User do subject { FactoryGirl.build :user } its(:password) { should have_at_least(8).items } end However I realised that this doesn't actually test my validation, it just tests that my factory had a password >= 8 characters. Is there a nice way to do this
