Question

Is it possible to mock method calls from within other method calls of the same class? I am new to C++ (primarily a C developer) and very new to googlemock and Google Test so forgive me if this is answered elsewhere and I didn't understand the answer! Below is a simple example that should explain what I want to do. Using the example below, I want to mock ReturnInput, while testing ReturnInputPlus1.

using ::testing::Invoke;
using ::testing::_;
using ::testing::Return;

class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass() : x(1) {}
    virtual ~MyClass() {}

    int ReturnInput(int x) { return x; }
    int ReturnInputPlus1(int x) { return ReturnInput(x) + 1; }
};

class MockMyClass : public MyClass
{
public:
    MockMyClass()
    {
        ON_CALL(*this, ReturnInput(_)).WillByDefault(Invoke(&real, &MyClass::ReturnInput));
        ON_CALL(*this, ReturnInputPlus1(_)).WillByDefault(Invoke(&real, &MyClass::ReturnInputPlus1));
    }
    virtual ~MockMyClass() {}

    MOCK_METHOD1(ReturnInput, int(int y));
    MOCK_METHOD1(ReturnInputPlus1, int(int));

private:
    MyClass real;
};

TEST(MyClassTest, mockUseClassMethod)
{
    MockMyClass mock;

    EXPECT_CALL(mock, ReturnInput(_))
        .WillOnce(Return(2));
    EXPECT_CALL(mock, ReturnInputPlus1(_))
        .Times(1);

    EXPECT_EQ(3, mock.ReturnInputPlus1(1));
}

When I run the above test, I would expect all the tests to succeed. Instead I get the following output:

1>[ RUN      ] MyClassTest.mockUseClassMethod
1>.\MyClassTest.cpp(15): error: Value of: mock.ReturnInputPlus1(1)
1>  Actual: 2
1>Expected: 3
1>.\DllInfoTest.cpp(10): error: Actual function call count doesn't match EXPECT_CALL(mock, ReturnInput(_))...
1>         Expected: to be called once
1>           Actual: never called - unsatisfied and active
