How to debug Mockolate for unit testing

Question

While unit testing in actionscript-3 with mockolate I have run into quite a few problems/errors:

Error: No Expectation defined for Invocation:[FloxyInvocation invocationType=GETTER name="propertyName" arguments=[]]

Error: 1 unmet Expectation

Mockolate errors and debugging are poorly documented and searches bring up no results, so solving these problems get very tricky.

Answer 1

No expectation defined error is thrown when the function you are testing expects the specified invocation type and name:

  Error: No Expectation defined for Invocation:[FloxyInvocation invocationType=GETTER name="propertyName" arguments=[]]

Can be solved with:

mock(object).getter("propertyName").returns(someValue);

Unmet expectation error can be thrown when you created a mock statement (a getter or setter) but there is no getter or setter defined for the variable you are getting or setting.

Error: 1 unmet Expectation

Can be solved with:

    public function get variable():String {
        return _variable;
    }

    public function set variable(value:String):void {
        _variable = value;
    }
