then(action1,action2)


Description

then(action1) specifies an action for mock object interactions.

then(action1,action2) specifies an action and a subsequent action for mock object interactions.

Input Arguments

action1 — Defined action

instance of matlab.mock.actions.ReturnStoredValue

Defined action, specified as an instance of matlab.mock.actions.ReturnStoredValue.

action2 — Second defined action

instance of matlab.mock.actions.AssignOutputs | instance of matlab.mock.actions.ThrowException

Second defined action, specified as an instance of matlab.mock.actions.AssignOutputs, or matlab.mock.actions.ThrowException.

Example: action2 = ReturnStoredValue

Example: action2 = AssignOutputs(7,13,42)

Example: action2 = ThrowException

Examples

Assign Series of Outputs to Mock

Create a strict mock for a bank account class.

testCase = matlab.mock.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;
[mock,behavior] = testCase.createMock('AddedProperties',"isOpen",'Strict',true);

Set up behavior to return empty once and then true.

import matlab.mock.actions.ReturnStoredValue
import matlab.mock.actions.AssignOutputs
when(get(behavior.isOpen),ReturnStoredValue().then(AssignOutputs(true)))

Use the mock.

isAccountOpen = mock.isOpen

isAccountOpen =

     []

isAccountOpen = mock.isOpen

isAccountOpen = logical
   1

isAccountOpen = mock.isOpen

isAccountOpen = logical
   1

Tips

• Each call to then accepts up to two actions. To specify more subsequent actions, use multiple calls to then. For example, to specify three actions, use action1.then(action2).then(action3).
