Mocking Public Static Methods
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Static methods are not called on real objects, so normal mock objects can't
|
|
mock them. Mockery supports class aliased mocks, mocks representing a class
|
|
name which would normally be loaded (via autoloading or a require statement)
|
|
in the system under test. These aliases block that loading (unless via a
|
|
require statement - so please use autoloading!) and allow Mockery to intercept
|
|
static method calls and add expectations for them.
|
|
|
|
See the :ref:`creating-test-doubles-aliasing` section for more information on
|
|
creating aliased mocks, for the purpose of mocking public static methods.
