Notes: 07. Test the ViewModel

You’ll need to add the mockito-inline dependency because you could get into some issues when trying to moch the CreatureGenerator class. This is added in the final project in the download materials.

When testing the model layer, we used TDD. For the view model, we’ll now add an after-the-fact test for the view model we’ve just created.

  testImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-core:2.11.0"
testImplementation "android.arch.core:core-testing:$arch_comp_version"
class CreatureViewModelTest {
}
  private lateinit var creatureViewModel: CreatureViewModel
  @get:Rule
  var rule: TestRule = InstantTaskExecutorRule()
  @Mock
  lateinit var mockGenerator: CreatureGenerator
  
  @Before
  fun setup() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this)
    creatureViewModel = CreatureViewModel(mockGenerator)
  }
  @Test
  fun testSetupCreature() {
    val attributes = CreatureAttributes(10, 3, 7)
    val stubCreature = Creature(attributes, 87, "Test Creature")
    `when`(mockGenerator.generateCreature(attributes)).thenReturn(stubCreature)
    
    creatureViewModel.intelligence = 10
    creatureViewModel.strength = 3
    creatureViewModel.endurance = 7
  }
 
    creatureViewModel.updateCreature()
   
    assertEquals(`stubCreature`, creatureViewModel.creature)
