     1  Google C++ Mocking Framework
     2  ============================
     3  
     4  http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/
     5  
     6  Overview
     7  --------
     8  
     9  Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes on a variety
    10  of platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, etc).
    11  Inspired by jMock, EasyMock, and Hamcrest, and designed with C++'s
    12  specifics in mind, it can help you derive better designs of your
    13  system and write better tests.
    14  
    15  Google Mock:
    16  
    17  - provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks,
    18  - can easily define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real
    19    and mock objects,
    20  - handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions,
    21  - comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments,
    22  - uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock,
    23  - does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay
    24    needed),
    25  - allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on
    26    function calls to be expressed,
    27  - lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
    28  - does not use exceptions, and
    29  - is easy to learn and use.
    30  
    31  Please see the project page above for more information as well as the
    32  mailing list for questions, discussions, and development.  There is
    33  also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available.  Please

    40  Requirements for End Users
    41  --------------------------
    42  
    43  Google Mock is implemented on top of the Google Test C++ testing
    44  framework (http://code.google.com/p/googletest/), and includes the
    45  latter as part of the SVN repositary and distribution package.  You
    46  must use the bundled version of Google Test when using Google Mock, or
    47  you may get compiler/linker errors.
    48  
    49  You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing
    50  framework of your choice; although it will still need Google Test as
    51  an internal dependency.  Please read
    52  http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/ForDummies#Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework
    53  for how to do it.
    54  
    55  Google Mock depends on advanced C++ features and thus requires a more
    56  modern compiler.  The following are needed to use Google Mock:
    57  
    58  ### Linux Requirements ###
    59  
    60  These are the base requirements to build and use Google Mock from a source
    61  package (as described below):
    62  
    63    * GNU-compatible Make or "gmake"
    64    * POSIX-standard shell
    65    * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
    66    * C++98-standard-compliant compiler (e.g. GCC 3.4 or newer)
    67  
    68  ### Windows Requirements ###
    69  
    70    * Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 or newer
    71  
    72  ### Mac OS X Requirements ###
    73  
    74    * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
    75    * Developer Tools Installed
    76  
    77  Requirements for Contributors
    78  -----------------------------
    79  
    80  We welcome patches.  If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
    81  build Google Mock and its own tests from an SVN checkout (described
    82  below), which has further requirements:
    83  
    84    * Automake version 1.9 or newer
    85    * Autoconf version 2.59 or newer
    86    * Libtool / Libtoolize
    87    * Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
    88      re-generating certain source files from templates)
    89  
    90  Getting the Source
    91  ------------------
    92  
    93  There are two primary ways of getting Google Mock's source code: you
    94  can download a stable source release in your preferred archive format,
    95  or directly check out the source from our Subversion (SVN) repositary.
    96  The SVN checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software
    97  packages on your system, but lets you track development and make
    98  patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
    99  
   100  ### Source Package ###
   101  
   102  Google Mock is released in versioned source packages which can be
   103  downloaded from the download page [1].  Several different archive
   104  formats are provided, but the only difference is the tools needed to
   105  extract their contents, and the size of the resulting file.  Download
   106  whichever you are most comfortable with.
   107  
   108    [1] http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/downloads/list
   109  
   110  Once downloaded expand the archive using whichever tools you prefer
   111  for that type.  This will always result in a new directory with the
   112  name "gmock-X.Y.Z" which contains all of the source code.  Here are
   113  some examples on Linux:
   114  
   115    tar -xvzf gmock-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
   116    tar -xvjf gmock-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
   117    unzip gmock-X.Y.Z.zip
   118  
   119  ### SVN Checkout ###
   120  
   121  To check out the main branch (also known as the "trunk") of Google
   122  Mock, run the following Subversion command:
   123  
   124    svn checkout http://googlemock.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gmock-svn
   125  
   126  If you are using a *nix system and plan to use the GNU Autotools build
   127  system to build Google Mock (described below), you'll need to
   128  configure it now.  Otherwise you are done with getting the source
   129  files.
   130  
   131  To prepare the Autotools build system, enter the target directory of
   132  the checkout command you used ('gmock-svn') and proceed with the
   133  following command:
   134  
   135    autoreconf -fvi
   136  
   137  Once you have completed this step, you are ready to build the library.
   138  Note that you should only need to complete this step once.  The
   139  subsequent 'make' invocations will automatically re-generate the bits
   140  of the build system that need to be changed.
   141  
   142  If your system uses older versions of the autotools, the above command
   143  will fail.  You may need to explicitly specify a version to use.  For
   144  instance, if you have both GNU Automake 1.4 and 1.9 installed and
   145  'automake' would invoke the 1.4, use instead:
   146  
   147    AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 autoreconf -fvi
   148  
   149  Make sure you're using the same version of automake and aclocal.
   150  
   151  Setting up the Build
   152  --------------------
   153  
   154  To build Google Mock and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
   155  build system where to find its headers and source files.  The exact
   156  way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
   157  straightforward.
   158  
   159  ### Generic Build Instructions ###
   160  
   161  This section shows how you can integrate Google Mock into your
   162  existing build system.
   163  
   164  Suppose you put Google Mock in directory ${GMOCK_DIR} and Google Test
   165  in ${GTEST_DIR} (the latter is ${GMOCK_DIR}/gtest by default).  To
   166  build Google Mock, create a library build target (or a project as
   167  called by Visual Studio and Xcode) to compile
   168  
   169    ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc and ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc
   170  
   171  with
   172  
   173    ${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK_DIR}/include
   174  
   175  in the system header search path, and
   176  
   177    ${GTEST_DIR} and ${GMOCK_DIR}
   178  
   179  in the normal header search path.  Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc,
   180  something like the following will do:
   181  
   182    g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \
   183        -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \
   184        -pthread -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
   185    g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \
   186        -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \
   187        -pthread -c ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc
   188    ar -rv libgmock.a gtest-all.o gmock-all.o
   189  
   190  (We need -pthread as Google Test and Google Mock use threads.)
   191  
   192  Next, you should compile your test source file with
   193  ${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK_DIR}/include in the header search
   194  path, and link it with gmock and any other necessary libraries:
   195  
   196    g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include \
   197        -pthread path/to/your_test.cc libgmock.a -o your_test
   198  
   199  As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can
   200  use to build Google Mock on systems where GNU make is available
   201  (e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin).  It doesn't try to build Google
   202  Mock's own tests.  Instead, it just builds the Google Mock library and
   203  a sample test.  You can use it as a starting point for your own build
   204  script.
   205  
   206  If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
   207  following commands should succeed:
   208  
   209    cd ${GMOCK_DIR}/make
   210    make
   211    ./gmock_test
   212  
   213  If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of make/Makefile to make
   214  them go away.  There are instructions in make/Makefile on how to do
   215  it.
   216  
   217  ### Windows ###
   218  
   219  The msvc/2005 directory contains VC++ 2005 projects and the msvc/2010
   220  directory contains VC++ 2010 projects for building Google Mock and
   221  selected tests.
   222  
   223  Change to the appropriate directory and run "msbuild gmock.sln" to
   224  build the library and tests (or open the gmock.sln in the MSVC IDE).
   225  If you want to create your own project to use with Google Mock, you'll
   226  have to configure it to use the gmock_config propety sheet.  For that:
   227  
   228   * Open the Property Manager window (View | Other Windows | Property Manager)
   229   * Right-click on your project and select "Add Existing Property Sheet..."
   230   * Navigate to gmock_config.vsprops or gmock_config.props and select it.
   231   * In Project Properties | Configuration Properties | General | Additional
   232     Include Directories, type <path to Google Mock>/include.
   233  
   234  Tweaking Google Mock
   235  --------------------
   236  
   237  Google Mock can be used in diverse environments.  The default
   238  configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in
   239  some environments.  However, you can easily tweak Google Mock by
   240  defining control macros on the compiler command line.  Generally,
   241  these macros are named like GTEST_XYZ and you define them to either 1
   242  or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature.
   243  
   244  We list the most frequently used macros below.  For a complete list,
   245  see file ${GTEST_DIR}/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h.
   246  
   247  ### Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library ###
   248  
   249  Google Mock uses the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1) tuple library
   250  heavily.  Unfortunately TR1 tuple is not yet widely available with all
   251  compilers.  The good news is that Google Test 1.4.0+ implements a
   252  subset of TR1 tuple that's enough for Google Mock's need.  Google Mock
   253  will automatically use that implementation when the compiler doesn't
   254  provide TR1 tuple.
   255  
   256  Usually you don't need to care about which tuple library Google Test
   257  and Google Mock use.  However, if your project already uses TR1 tuple,
   258  you need to tell Google Test and Google Mock to use the same TR1 tuple
   259  library the rest of your project uses, or the two tuple
   260  implementations will clash.  To do that, add
   261  
   262    -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=0
   263  
   264  to the compiler flags while compiling Google Test, Google Mock, and
   265  your tests.  If you want to force Google Test and Google Mock to use
   266  their own tuple library, just add
   267  
   268    -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1
   269  
   270  to the compiler flags instead.
   271  
   272  If you want to use Boost's TR1 tuple library with Google Mock, please
   273  refer to the Boost website (http://www.boost.org/) for how to obtain
   274  it and set it up.
   275  
   276  ### As a Shared Library (DLL) ###
   277  
   278  Google Mock is compact, so most users can build and link it as a static
   279  library for the simplicity.  Google Mock can be used as a DLL, but the
   280  same DLL must contain Google Test as well.  See Google Test's README
   281  file for instructions on how to set up necessary compiler settings.
   282  
   283  ### Tweaking Google Mock ###
   284  
   285  Most of Google Test's control macros apply to Google Mock as well.
   286  Please see file ${GTEST_DIR}/README for how to tweak them.
   287  
   288  Upgrading from an Earlier Version
   289  ---------------------------------
   290  
   291  We strive to keep Google Mock releases backward compatible.
   292  Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the
   293  users' long-term benefits.  This section describes what you'll need to
   294  do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Mock.
   295  
   296  ### Upgrading from 1.1.0 or Earlier ###
   297  
   298  You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1
   299  tuple library.  See the instructions in section "Choosing a TR1 Tuple
   300  Library".
   301  
   302  ### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ###
   303  
   304  On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test and
   305  Google Mock use it in order to be thread-safe.  For this to work, you
   306  may need to tweak your compiler and/or linker flags.  Please see the
   307  "Multi-threaded Tests" section in file ${GTEST_DIR}/README for what
   308  you may need to do.
   309  
   310  If you have custom matchers defined using MatcherInterface or
   311  MakePolymorphicMatcher(), you'll need to update their definitions to
   312  use the new matcher API [2].  Matchers defined using MATCHER() or
   313  MATCHER_P*() aren't affected.
   314  
   315    [2] http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/CookBook#Writing_New_Monomorphic_Matchers,
   316        http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/CookBook#Writing_New_Polymorphic_Matchers
   317  
   318  Developing Google Mock
   319  ----------------------
   320  
   321  This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Mock.
   322  
   323  ### Testing Google Mock Itself ###
   324  
   325  To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing
   326  functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests.
   327  For that you'll need Autotools.  First, make sure you have followed
   328  the instructions in section "SVN Checkout" to configure Google Mock.
   329  Then, create a build output directory and enter it.  Next,
   330  
   331    ${GMOCK_DIR}/configure  # Standard GNU configure script, --help for more info
   332  
   333  Once you have successfully configured Google Mock, the build steps are
   334  standard for GNU-style OSS packages.
   335  
   336    make        # Standard makefile following GNU conventions
   337    make check  # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass.
   338  
   339  Note that when building your project against Google Mock, you are building
   340  against Google Test as well.  There is no need to configure Google Test
   341  separately.
   342  
   343  ### Regenerating Source Files ###
   344  
   345  Some of Google Mock's source files are generated from templates (not
   346  in the C++ sense) using a script.  A template file is named FOO.pump,
   347  where FOO is the name of the file it will generate.  For example, the
   348  file include/gmock/gmock-generated-actions.h.pump is used to generate
   349  gmock-generated-actions.h in the same directory.
   350  
   351  Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
   352  unless you need to modify them.  In that case, you should modify the
   353  corresponding .pump files instead and run the 'pump' script (for Pump
   354  is Useful for Meta Programming) to regenerate them.  You can find
   355  pump.py in the ${GTEST_DIR}/scripts/ directory.  Read the Pump manual
   356  [3] for how to use it.
   357

   359  
   360  ### Contributing a Patch ###
   361  
   362  We welcome patches.  Please read the Google Mock developer's guide [4]
   363  for how you can contribute.  In particular, make sure you have signed
   364  the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the
   365  patch.
