I''ve been spiking on a Facebook application so far just to learn the
Facebook(er) API, but I''d prefer to test drive.
It seems to me (with my limited knowledge) that what''s needed is some
sort
of mocking framework at the network level. I''m thinking of creating a
set of
YAML files similar to fixtures that represent the remote Facebook state,
then overriding Facebooker::Session#post method to fake the network
response. For those of you more familiar with Facebook and Facebooker, does
this approach make sense? Is there already something available that will let
you spec-drive a facebook app? I found a project called Fakebook on github
that looks like it tries to solve the same problem, but it appears to be
more heavyweight than what I''d want. It appears to be a separate
process you
run locally and communicate with over TCP/IP.
Any advice would be appreciated. If I go down the only route I see right now
it''s going to be more work than I''d hoped I''d have to
do just to get a
simple test driven facebook application.
