Love it. I never thought about how much that would help maintainability.
I was doing that because i really wanted to isolate the functionality of the function under test.
I apologize for the convoluted tests! I did not intend to make the tests non-condusive to productivity. This is simply not acceptable!
This has totally changed the way I have been writing my tests for my main project (the one that uses this library) and holy smokes totally makes more sense to use public API method calls throughout and not muck with the internals. GOOD CALL Karl!
Some of the tests manually set internal state variables, such as
.connected
, in order to test that functions change this state. This makes for a lot of work to update all the tests if the internal state management changes. The code would be more maintainable if tests used public API functions to alter state when this is reasonable to do.Approach I plan:
.member = value
or._member
