Cool article, but I’m having trouble integrating Mockito into my GWT project (I created a module, included the sources but still have lots of compile errors). Is there any info out there about how to set Mockito up into a GWT project? Thanks.

Hi Christina,

I think you’ll have to show me your code. This sounds like it may be related to your tool more than the example.

Hello DAN,

I did my testcase as you described and it worked well. Now I’m trying to add the test to a TestSuite and the test allways fails with the error message that no test was found. Could you add a short example for this?

Thank you,
Christina

Interesting post.

Instead of the CustomFlexTable I extended the GWTWidgetBridge (or GWTMockBridge as I call it), to return mock CellFormatters and ColumnFormatters when HTMLTable.class.isAssignableFrom(classLiteral). If you’d like it send me an email.

Now I’m just trying to figure out if there’s a clean way to determine when a class is a remote service and return the proper async impl class.

Very interesting, I’m definitely going to give it a spin… and thanks for introducing me to Mockito!

Pretty cool Dan, could you get around your issue with the FlexTable (and any other situations like that) by building a backdoor into your GWTWidgetBridge that allows you to manually prep your mocks for certain widgets? That way you could setup the flex table and cell formatter in your unit test and then set it into the widget bridge before calling disarm. Of course, you’d have to figure out the way to say which call to use your custom mock for. My first reaction to that would be to store the mocks in a map keyed by class with the value being a Queue so that the custom mocks would get used in FIFO order. Then you would check the map for the requested class and use the mock from there if it existed, otherwise use the behavior you have described here.
