iphone OCMockObject and unit-testing a class that inherits from NSURLConnection
- by Justin Galzic
I want to unit test the custom init method of a class that inherits from NSURLConnection -- how would I do this if the init of my testable class invokes NSURLConnection's initWithRequest?
I'm using OCMock and normally, I can mock objects that are contained within my test class. For this inheritance scenario, what's the best approach to do this?
- (void)testInit
{   
    id urlRequest = [OCMockObject mockForClass:[NSURLRequest class]];
    MyURLConnectionWrapper *conn = [[MyURLConnectionWrapper alloc] 
                	initWithRequest:urlRequest delegate:self 
                	someData:extraneousData];
}
My class is implemented like this:
@interface MyURLConnectionWrapper : NSURLConnection {
}
- (id)initWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request 
             delegate:(id)delegate someData:(NSString *)fooData
@end
@implementation MyURLConnectionWrapper
- (id)initWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request 
             delegate:(id)delegate someData:(NSString *)fooData
{
    if (self = [super initWithRequest:request delegate:delegate]) 
    {
        // do some additional work here
    }
    return self;
}
Here's the error I get:
  OCMockObject[NSURLRequest]: unexpected
  method invoked: _CFURLRequest
