mock-generator

This is a small project I wrote to help create mock files using golangs template package. It will generate mock files that would be written using the mock package of testify.

Build the binary

To build the mock-generator you simply have to build the binary using

go build -o ./bin/mock-generator

If you want to make it gobally available, just export the path to your ~/.bashrc file.

export PATH=$PATH:</path/to/your/project>/bin/mock-generator

Running the mock-generator

After you have build the binary you can call and test it using the ./example/service.go file.

./bin/mock-generator -i ./example/service.go

This will generate a file called service_mock.go next to the service.go file.

Example

If you take this simple example

package service

type User struct {
}

type ServiceInterface interface {
	Login(userId string, password string) error
	ListUsers() ([]User, error)
	Logout(userId string)
}

and run the mock-generator. The output file will look like this:

package service

import "github.com/stretchr/testify/mock"

type MockServiceInterface struct {
	mock.Mock
}

func (m *MockServiceInterface) Login(userId string, password string) error {
    args := m.Called(userId, password)
	
	return args.Error(0)
}

func (m *MockServiceInterface) ListUsers() ([]User, error) {
    args := m.Called()
	
	var v0 []User
	if args.Get(0) != nil {
		v0 = args.Get(0).([]User)
	}
	return v0, args.Error(1)
}

func (m *MockServiceInterface) Logout(userId string)  {
    m.Called(userId)
	
	
}
