[Pharo-users] Mocking ZnClient

[Damien Cassou]

Hi,

I need to write unit tests for code that fetches data on the web through
ZnClient. Is there a way to temporarily replace all creations of
ZnClient instances by instances of another class that will reply with
fixed results without fetching on the web?

I already wrote something like that for the Pharo launcher. I'm now
looking for something that already exists outside so I don't have to
extract this into a new library by myself.

Damien,

As far as I know this does not (yet) exist.

I know that Norbert did some work mocking actual connections, so that a client 
can directly connect to a server's handler without doing any networking, if I 
remember correctly, but I don't think that is what you are looking for.

It is very easy to do by using BabyMock2 for example
