Updated: Mocking Hibernate Create Criteria in Grails’ Unit Test with GMock

Using the GMock Library I have updated my unit tests to mock out the create criteria methods the following way:

void testSomeFunction() {
    def results = []

    def mockCriteria = mock() {
      list(instanceOf(Closure)).returns(results)
    }

    mock(Book).static.createCriteria().returns(mockCriteria)

    play {
      assertEquals null, bookService.getDefaultBook(null)
    }
  }

You need to add the following to the top of the unit test file with the import statements:

import org.gmock.*
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*

@WithGMock

Also add the following to your BuildConfig.groovy:

dependencies {
    test "org.gmock:gmock:0.8.0"
    test "org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.0"
}

I learned this from the following blog post: http://adhockery.blogspot.com/2010/01/using-gmock-to-complement-grails.html
