I was reading through the FlexMock docs and noticed the expectation method .mock, which returns the original mock associated with an expectation. It looks really handy for writing nice all-in-one mocks like: mock_user = mock(''User'').expects(:first_name).returns(''Jonah'').mock So I started playing around with mocha and found I could actually already do this!

hi, I am trying to find out the avg cpu time spent in each of my user methods (exclusive of other methods invoked by a method). Hence the following snippet failed miserably: ----------------------- pid$target:a.out::entry { time[probefunc] = timestamp;} pid$target:a.out::return { @spent[probefunc] = avg(timestamp - time[probefunc]);} END { printa(@spent);}

...ly without the include, maybe it''s better just to hard-code the value of M_DATA, or if you want to continue to use the name, simply copy the definition, e.g. #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -Cs /* Copied from /usr/include/sys/stream.h */ #define M_DATA 0x00 strrput:entry ... etc etc ... -- Philip Beevers Fidessa Infrastructure Development mailto:philip.beevers@fidessa.com phone: +44 1483 206571 > -----Original Message----- > From: Max Bruning [mailto:max@bruningsystems.com] > Sent: 29 December 2004 01:42 > To: dtrace@opensolaris.org > Subject: [DTrace] using C preprocessor in dtra...

We''re encountering a failure with Mocha 0.5.6. We had this expectation: game_version.expects(:attributes=).with(:game_file => kind_of(GameFile), :game_id => @game.id) This expectation was passing with 0.5.5, but fails with 0.5.6. I added this test to parameter_matcher_acceptance_test.rb, which passes in 0.5.5 and fails in 0.5.6 def test_should_match_nested_parameters

Howdy, I was playing around with the malloc/free D script provided by Philip Beevers: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=4224&tstart=15 And decided to change the free:entry probe from: pid24169::free:entry / sz[arg0] / { printf("Freeing %p (size %d)\n", arg0, sz[arg0]); sz[arg0] = 0; } to: pid24169::free:entry / ! sz[arg0] / { pri...

Tracing Fans, I know it''s been a long time in coming but the CPU Performance Counter (CPC) provider is almost here! The code is currently in for review and a proposed architecture document is attached here for review. Any and all feedback/questions on the proposed implementation is welcome. Thanks.

...print in the different orders? e.g. printa() for sort by sample, printak() for sort by key. My reason for wanting to do both in the same script is that the current printa() ordering is nearly always right; it''s relatively (although very useful in those cases) to order by key. -- Philip Beevers Fidessa Infrastructure Development mailto:philip.beevers at fidessa.com phone: +44 1483 206571 > -----Original Message----- > From: dtrace-discuss-bounces at opensolaris.org > [mailto:dtrace-discuss-bounces at opensolaris.org]On Behalf Of Bryan > Cantrill > Sent: 15 September 2005...

...r 8KBytes on an otherwise idle SCSI disk on SPARC. The good news is that this is very fast on ZFS - on the same disk, about 7ms constant for up to 64KBytes, and about 20ms constant for 256KBytes.

A number of people have had difficulties subscribing and/or sending messages to the existing mailing list. Also I have to spend quite a bit of time moderating spam and the mailman interface is pretty clunky. So I was contemplating setting a Google Group up instead.

I''d like to create expectations on just portions of the arguments a function takes. For example, I want to verify that the a certain ActiveRecord association extension adds an order clause to the find options hash. Currently I simply check the entire argument structure, something like this def test_referring_journals_should_order_by_citation_count article =

We''ve been working with the ParameterMatchers (so cool!) but I don''t see a way to insure a method is called with no arguments. I imagined something like: user = mock(''User'') user.expects(:friends).with(nothing) Anyone run into this?

I''ve just been tying my brain in knots looking at bug #8687 ( http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=8687&group_id=1917&atid=7477 ). I''ve been (1) trying to work out whether there is anything logically wrong with Mocha''s existing behaviour and (2) whether Mocha should support the requested functionality. It all centres around the use of the

Hello all, I''m working on a Rails app and I have resources nested three deep - let''s call them user, project, and issues. The route helpers now look like user_project_issue_path(@user, @project, @issue). Would it make sense for Rails to guess the @user <https://github.com/user> and @project<https://github.com/project> relations from @issue

I''m trying to write a SLAMD (http://www.slamd.com/) resource monitor that can be used to measure the I/O throughput on a ZFS pool, and in particular to be able to get the read and write rates. In order to do this, I''m basically executing "zpool iostat {interval}" and parsing the output to capture the values in the "bandwidth read" and "bandwidth

Hi I''m using Mocha 0.5.3 and I want to stub out a call to Time.now, just like the example in the post http://blog.floehopper.org/articles/2007/06/08/mocha-0-5-released However, trying it in irb gets me the following error: >> require ''mocha'' => true >> Time.stubs(:now).returns(Time.parse(''Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 UTC 2007'')) NoMethodError:

Is there a way to do something like this? class Foo def self.hello(name) "Hello #{name}!" end end Foo.expects(:bar).with("Carl").once assert_equal "Hello Carl!", Foo.hello Basically, my problem is that once you set an expectation, the original code is never executed and is not tested. However, it''s still very useful to set expectations to
