Change jMock to Mockito #50

Open cxxr opened 8 years ago

cxxr commented 8 years ago

Also mention EasyMock as another alternative. Idea from PR #49.

erosb commented 8 years ago

Yup, I've checked Mockito too (due to the PR #49 ) but it seems mockito 1.x is obsolete already, while 2.0 is still in beta. I personally don't recommend changing to any of these at the moment (lets wait a few months with this change).

@erosb what about 1.x is obsolete?

erosb commented 8 years ago

I meant that if 2.x is in beta then probably they will roll out a stable release soon, and in that moment 1.x will be the "old" mockito. I do not recommend to include in the better-java README a version which soon will be old. I would also discourage recommending the 2.x library since it is - at the moment - in beta.

Of course I do not think that anyone using mockito 1.x has to stop using it and move to 2.x, so my above comment was not meant to be offensive, feel free to keep using 1.x if that is what you are familiar with. But it makes a difference what to recommend to people unfamiliar with mocking at all, and what should be used by experienced testers.

To sum up I recommend staying with the jMock example (since it turned out to be quite popular in #49 ) and lets reconsider Mockito when 2.x is out.

As I mentioned in #49, I think better-java should describe mocking as a best practice but wouldn't be opposed to having examples using more than one framework. For those of us using CDI, the CDI-Unit library also includes the ability to Mock objects annotated with @Inject.
