Mockolo is an efficient mock generator for Swift. Swift doesn't provide mocking support, and Mockolo provides a fast and easy way to autogenerate mock objects that can be tested in your code. One of the main objectives of Mockolo is fast performance. Unlike other frameworks, Mockolo provides highly performant and scalable generation of mocks via a lightweight commandline tool, so it can run as part of a linter or a build if one chooses to do so. Try Mockolo and enhance your project's test coverage in an effective, performant way.
One of the main objectives of this project is high performance. There aren't many 3rd party tools that perform fast on a large codebase containing, for example, over 2M LoC or over 10K protocols. They take several hours and even with caching enabled take several minutes. Mockolo was built to make highly performant generation of mocks possible (in the magnitude of seconds) on such large codebase. It uses a minimal set of frameworks necessary (mentioned in the Used libraries section) to keep the code lean and efficient.
Another objective is to enable flexibility in using or overriding types if needed. This allows use of some of the features that require deeper analysis such as protocols with associated types to be simpler, more straightforward, and less fragile.
This project may contain unstable APIs which may not be ready for general use. Support and/or new releases may be limited.
- Swift 5.1 or later
- Xcode 11.2 or later
- MacOS 10.14.6 or later
- Support is included for the Swift Package Manager
Option 1: By Mint
$ mint install uber/mockolo
$ mint run uber/mockolo mockolo -h // see commandline input options below
Option 2: Clone and build
$ git clone https://github.com/uber/mockolo.git
$ cd mockolo
Optionally, see a list of released versions of Mockolo, and check one out by running the following.
$ git tag -l
$ git checkout [tag]
Build and run
$ swift build -c release
$ .build/release/mockolo -h // see commandline input options below
Instead of calling the binary mockolo built in .build/release, you can copy the executable into a directory that is part of your PATH environment variable and call mockolo.
Or use Xcode, via following.
$ swift package generate-xcodeproj
Mockolo is a commandline executable. To run it, pass in a list of the source file directories or file paths of a build target, and the destination filepath for the mock output. To see other arguments to the commandline, run mockolo --help.
./mockolo -s myDir -d ./OutputMocks.swift -x Images Strings
This parses all the source files in myDir directory, excluding any files ending with Images or Strings in the file name (e.g. MyImages.swift), and generates mocks to a file at OutputMocks.swift in the current directory.
Use --help to see the complete argument options.
./mockolo -h // or --help
OVERVIEW: Mockolo: Swift mock generator.
USAGE: mockolo <options>
OPTIONS:
--destination, -d Output file path containing the generated Swift mock classes. If no value is given, the program will exit.
--sourcedirs, -s Paths to the directories containing source files to generate mocks for. If the --filelist or --sourcefiles values exist, they will be ignored.
--sourcefiles, -srcs List of source files (separated by a comma or a space) to generate mocks for. If the --sourcedirs or --filelist value exists, this will be ignored.
--filelist, -f Path to a file containing a list of source file paths (delimited by a new line). If the --sourcedirs value exists, this will be ignored.
--exclude-suffixes, -x List of filename suffix(es) without the file extensions to exclude from parsing (separated by a comma or a space).
--depfilelist, -deplist Path to a file containing a list of dependent files (separated by a new line) from modules this target depends on.
--mockfiles, -mocks List of mock files (separated by a comma or a space) from modules this target depends on.
--annotation, -a A custom annotation string used to indicate if a type should be mocked (default = @mockable).
--header, -h A custom header documentation to be added to the beginning of a generated mock file.
--macro, -m If set, #if [macro] / #endif will be added to the generated mock file content to guard compilation.
--testable-imports, -i If set, @testable import statments will be added for each module name in this list.
--concurrency-limit, -j Maximum number of threads to execute concurrently (default = number of cores on the running machine).
--logging-level, -v The logging level to use. Default is set to 0 (info only). Set 1 for verbose, 2 for warning, and 3 for error.
--use-sourcekit If this argument is added, it will use SourceKit for parsing. By default it uses SwiftSyntax.
--help Displays available options.
Option 1: SPM
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/uber/mockolo.git", from: "1.1.2"),
],
targets: [
.target(name: "MyTarget", dependencies: ["MockoloFramework"]),
]Option 2: Cocoapods
target 'MyTarget' do
platform :osx, '10.14'
pod 'MockoloFramework', '~>1.1.2'
end
The install-script.sh will build and package up the mockolo binary and other necessary resources in the same bundle.
$ ./install-script.sh -h // see input options
$ ./install-script.sh -s [source dir] -t mockolo -d [destination dir] -o [output filename]
This will create a tarball for distribution, which contains the mockolo executable along with a necessary SwiftSyntax parser dylib (lib_InternalSwiftSyntaxParser.dylib). This allows running mockolo without depending on where the dylib lives.
For example, Foo.swift contains:
/// @mockable
public protocol Foo {
var num: Int { get set }
func bar(arg: Float) -> String
}Running ./mockolo -srcs Foo.swift -d ./OutputMocks.swift will output:
public class FooMock: Foo {
init() {}
init(num: Int = 0) {
self.num = num
}
var numSetCallCount = 0
var underlyingNum: Int = 0
var num: Int {
get {
return underlyingNum
}
set {
underlyingNum = newValue
numSetCallCount += 1
}
}
var barCallCount = 0
var barHandler: ((Float) -> (String))?
func bar(arg: Float) -> String {
barCallCount += 1
if let barHandler = barHandler {
return barHandler(arg)
}
return ""
}
}The above mock can now be used in a test as follows:
func testMock() {
let mock = FooMock(num: 5)
XCTAssertEqual(mock.numSetCallCount, 1)
mock.barHandler = { arg in
return String(arg)
}
XCTAssertEqual(mock.barCallCount, 1)
}An override argument, e.g. for a typealias, can be passed into the annotation (default or custom) delimited by a semi-colon.
/// @mockable(typealias: T = AnyObject; U = StringProtocol)
public protocol Foo {
associatedtype T
associatedtype U: Collection where U.Element == T
associatedtype W
...
}This will generate the following mock output:
public class FooMock: Foo {
typealias T = AnyObject // overriden
typealias U = StringProtocol // overriden
typealias W = Any // default placeholder type for typealias
...
