Ersatz

Ersatz is a library for defining mocks in Elixir.

Contributions welcome :-)

Ersatz in a fork of Mox and follows mosts of principles outlined in “Mocks and explicit contracts”.

But why a fork ?

Usage

• Mocks are generated based on behaviours during configuration and injected using env variables.
• Add the mock behaviour by specifying functions to be used during tests with Ersatz.set_mock_implementation/3.
• Test your code’s actions on the mock dependency using Ersatz.get_mock_calls/1 or the Espec custom matchers.

See the documentation for more information.

Installation

Add ersatz to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ersatz, "~> 0.2", only: :test}
  ]
end

To Do

• [ ] clarify documentation
• [ ] function to clear all previous calls
• [ ] add custom assertions for ExUnit
• [X] function to configure only a return value instead of a complete function
• [X] Test concurrency support. (should be ok, but… )
• [X] add configuration for initializing mocks before start of application under test
