testing bots

[dcsan]

since its hard to send messages via ATproto and to test the bot I made a little MockBot that allows me to at least write simple tests for bots.

this isn't really part of the bot sdk. but maybe the MockBot could be? I also didn't stub out a lot of the methods.

LMK if you have any better ideas how to do this! or more portable.

i'll wrap it up in a proper testrunner at some point too.

export class MockBot {
  lastReply: string = ''

  reply(text: string, post: any) {
    // ignore post for now
    this.lastReply = text;
    console.log(`mockBot.reply: ${text}`);
  }
}

export class MockEvent {
  post: any;
  constructor(post: any) {
    this.post = post;
  }
}
