As a newcomer to meck, I've been putting together a test that shows the various features. I cannot, however, understand why a developer might call meck:validate. Here's my example:
-module(meck_demo).
-include_lib("eunit/include/eunit.hrl").
validate_is_of_limited_use_test_() ->
{ foreach, fun setup_mock/0, fun cleanup_mock/1,
[fun validate_does_not_fail_if_a_function_is_not_called/0,
fun validate_does_not_fail_if_a_function_is_called_with_wrong_arity/0,
fun validate_does_not_fail_if_an_undefined_function_is_called/0,
fun validate_does_fail_if_a_function_was_called_with_wrong_argument_types/0,
fun validate_does_fail_if_expectation_throws_an_unexpected_exception/0 ]}.
validate_does_not_fail_if_a_function_is_not_called() ->
meck:expect(womble, name, fun() -> "Wellington" end),
?assert(meck:validate(womble)).
validate_does_not_fail_if_a_function_is_called_with_wrong_arity() ->
meck:expect(womble, name, fun() -> "Madame Cholet" end),
?assertError(undef, womble:name(unexpected_arg)),
?assert(meck:validate(womble)).
validate_does_not_fail_if_an_undefined_function_is_called() ->
?assertError(undef, womble:fly()),
?assert(meck:validate(womble)).
validate_does_fail_if_a_function_was_called_with_wrong_argument_types() ->
meck:expect(womble, jump, fun(Height) when Height < 1 ->
ok
end),
?assertError(function_clause, womble:jump(999)),
?assertNot(meck:validate(womble)).
validate_does_fail_if_expectation_throws_an_unexpected_exception() ->
meck:expect(womble, jump, fun(Height) -> 42 = Height end),
?assertError({badmatch, 999}, womble:jump(999)),
?assertNot(meck:validate(womble)).
setup_mock() ->
meck:new(womble, [non_strict]).
cleanup_mock(_SetupResult) ->
meck:unload(womble).
What am I missing?
