# Actions Reference
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[**Actions**](../gmock_for_dummies.md#actions-what-should-it-do) specify what a
|
||
|
|
mock function should do when invoked. This page lists the built-in actions
|
||
|
|
provided by GoogleTest. All actions are defined in the `::testing` namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Returning a Value
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| | |
|
||
|
|
| :-------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| `Return()` | Return from a `void` mock function. |
|
||
|
|
| `Return(value)` | Return `value`. If the type of `value` is different to the mock function's return type, `value` is converted to the latter type <i>at the time the expectation is set</i>, not when the action is executed. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnArg<N>()` | Return the `N`-th (0-based) argument. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnNew<T>(a1, ..., ak)` | Return `new T(a1, ..., ak)`; a different object is created each time. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnNull()` | Return a null pointer. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnPointee(ptr)` | Return the value pointed to by `ptr`. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnRef(variable)` | Return a reference to `variable`. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnRefOfCopy(value)` | Return a reference to a copy of `value`; the copy lives as long as the action. |
|
||
|
|
| `ReturnRoundRobin({a1, ..., ak})` | Each call will return the next `ai` in the list, starting at the beginning when the end of the list is reached. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Side Effects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| | |
|
||
|
|
| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| `Assign(&variable, value)` | Assign `value` to variable. |
|
||
|
|
| `DeleteArg<N>()` | Delete the `N`-th (0-based) argument, which must be a pointer. |
|
||
|
|
| `SaveArg<N>(pointer)` | Save the `N`-th (0-based) argument to `*pointer`. |
|
||
|
|
| `SaveArgPointee<N>(pointer)` | Save the value pointed to by the `N`-th (0-based) argument to `*pointer`. |
|
||
|
|
| `SetArgReferee<N>(value)` | Assign `value` to the variable referenced by the `N`-th (0-based) argument. |
|
||
|
|
| `SetArgPointee<N>(value)` | Assign `value` to the variable pointed by the `N`-th (0-based) argument. |
|
||
|
|
| `SetArgumentPointee<N>(value)` | Same as `SetArgPointee<N>(value)`. Deprecated. Will be removed in v1.7.0. |
|
||
|
|
| `SetArrayArgument<N>(first, last)` | Copies the elements in source range [`first`, `last`) to the array pointed to by the `N`-th (0-based) argument, which can be either a pointer or an iterator. The action does not take ownership of the elements in the source range. |
|
||
|
|
| `SetErrnoAndReturn(error, value)` | Set `errno` to `error` and return `value`. |
|
||
|
|
| `Throw(exception)` | Throws the given exception, which can be any copyable value. Available since v1.1.0. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using a Function, Functor, or Lambda as an Action
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the following, by "callable" we mean a free function, `std::function`,
|
||
|
|
functor, or lambda.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| | |
|
||
|
|
| :---------------------------------- | :------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| `f` | Invoke f with the arguments passed to the mock function, where f is a callable. |
|
||
|
|
| `Invoke(f)` | Invoke `f` with the arguments passed to the mock function, where `f` can be a global/static function or a functor. |
|
||
|
|
| `Invoke(object_pointer, &class::method)` | Invoke the method on the object with the arguments passed to the mock function. |
|
||
|
|
| `InvokeWithoutArgs(f)` | Invoke `f`, which can be a global/static function or a functor. `f` must take no arguments. |
|
||
|
|
| `InvokeWithoutArgs(object_pointer, &class::method)` | Invoke the method on the object, which takes no arguments. |
|
||
|
|
| `InvokeArgument<N>(arg1, arg2, ..., argk)` | Invoke the mock function's `N`-th (0-based) argument, which must be a function or a functor, with the `k` arguments. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The return value of the invoked function is used as the return value of the
|
||
|
|
action.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When defining a callable to be used with `Invoke*()`, you can declare any unused
|
||
|
|
parameters as `Unused`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
using ::testing::Invoke;
|
||
|
|
double Distance(Unused, double x, double y) { return sqrt(x*x + y*y); }
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
EXPECT_CALL(mock, Foo("Hi", _, _)).WillOnce(Invoke(Distance));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Invoke(callback)` and `InvokeWithoutArgs(callback)` take ownership of
|
||
|
|
`callback`, which must be permanent. The type of `callback` must be a base
|
||
|
|
callback type instead of a derived one, e.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
BlockingClosure* done = new BlockingClosure;
|
||
|
|
... Invoke(done) ...; // This won't compile!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Closure* done2 = new BlockingClosure;
|
||
|
|
... Invoke(done2) ...; // This works.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In `InvokeArgument<N>(...)`, if an argument needs to be passed by reference,
|
||
|
|
wrap it inside `std::ref()`. For example,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
using ::testing::InvokeArgument;
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
InvokeArgument<2>(5, string("Hi"), std::ref(foo))
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
calls the mock function's #2 argument, passing to it `5` and `string("Hi")` by
|
||
|
|
value, and `foo` by reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Default Action
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Matcher | Description |
|
||
|
|
| :------------ | :----------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| `DoDefault()` | Do the default action (specified by `ON_CALL()` or the built-in one). |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{: .callout .note}
|
||
|
|
**Note:** due to technical reasons, `DoDefault()` cannot be used inside a
|
||
|
|
composite action - trying to do so will result in a run-time error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Composite Actions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| | |
|
||
|
|
| :----------------------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
|
||
|
|
| `DoAll(a1, a2, ..., an)` | Do all actions `a1` to `an` and return the result of `an` in each invocation. The first `n - 1` sub-actions must return void and will receive a readonly view of the arguments. |
|
||
|
|
| `IgnoreResult(a)` | Perform action `a` and ignore its result. `a` must not return void. |
|
||
|
|
| `WithArg<N>(a)` | Pass the `N`-th (0-based) argument of the mock function to action `a` and perform it. |
|
||
|
|
| `WithArgs<N1, N2, ..., Nk>(a)` | Pass the selected (0-based) arguments of the mock function to action `a` and perform it. |
|
||
|
|
| `WithoutArgs(a)` | Perform action `a` without any arguments. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Defining Actions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| | |
|
||
|
|
| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| `ACTION(Sum) { return arg0 + arg1; }` | Defines an action `Sum()` to return the sum of the mock function's argument #0 and #1. |
|
||
|
|
| `ACTION_P(Plus, n) { return arg0 + n; }` | Defines an action `Plus(n)` to return the sum of the mock function's argument #0 and `n`. |
|
||
|
|
| `ACTION_Pk(Foo, p1, ..., pk) { statements; }` | Defines a parameterized action `Foo(p1, ..., pk)` to execute the given `statements`. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `ACTION*` macros cannot be used inside a function or class.
