Facon

Facon is a mocking library in the spirit of the Bacon spec library. Small, compact, and works with Bacon and MacBacon.

Synopsis

To use Facon with Bacon, simply require 'facon' and you're done.

You can now write Bacon specs like this (in RSpec-like style):

  require 'bacon'
  require 'facon'

  describe 'PersonController' do
    before do
      @konata = mock('konata', :id => 1, :name => 'Konata Izumi')
      @kagami = mock('kagami', :id => 2, :name => 'Kagami Hiiragi')
    end

    it "should find all people on GET to 'index'" do
      Person.should.receive(:find).with(:all).and_return([@konata, @kagami])

      get('/people/index')
    end

    it "should find the person with id of 1 on Get to 'show/1'" do
      Person.should.receive(:find).with(1).and_return(@konata)

      get('/people/show/1')
    end

    it "knows how many times we call a method" do
      Person.should.receive(:find).at_least(3)

      Person.list
    end

    it "can use at_most" do
      Person.should.receive(:find).at_most(3)

      Person.list
    end
  end

For now, more examples can be found in the specs included with the Facon gem. I promise to get better examples into the documentation!

See Facon::Baconize for more documentation on using Facon with Bacon.

Requirements

• Ruby (check Travis CI builds for which versions are supported)
• Bacon (optional, required for running specs)

Compatibility with Bacon

When used with Bacon, Facon uses some Bacon hooks, which unfortunately causes some compatibility issues with new versions of Bacon. Use this compatibility chart to find out which versions of Facon to install when running with Bacon.

Facon version -- Bacon version
<= 0.3.x      -- 0.9 (only tested with 0.9 but might work with earlier versions of Bacon)
0.4           -- 1.0, 1.1

Installation

Simply install the gem: gem install facon

Or add it to your Gemfile: gem 'facon'
