Hi!

It is not possible to mock this:

var task = new TaskMock(); task.when(callsTo('get name')).alwaysReturn('test'); print(task.name);

-> prints null.

It conflicts with the internal "Mock" name attribute.

Guess there will be similar problems with the other defined methods and attributes in the Mock class.

This is a workaround for this case:

class TaskMock implements Task {   Mock mock = new Mock();      noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) {     return mock.noSuchMethod(invocation);   } }

Then in testing: var task = new TaskMock(); task.mock.when(callsTo('get name')).alwaysReturn('test');
