PureMVC / complicated asMock

Question

Ok - I've got a bit of a complicated asMock setup here; I've got a PureMVC async command that is attempting to call another class that implements interfaces in order to set up some asmocks for development without the backend.

import test.mix.common.business.MockInterbahnServiceFactory;

public class InitMockInterbahnServiceFactory extends AsyncCommand{
     public static var mockServiceFactory:MockInterbahnServiceFactory = new MockInterbahnServiceFactory();

    override public function execute(notification:INotification):void{
        var serviceResult:IEventDispatcher = mockServiceFactory.mockRepository.prepare([EchoBusinessObjects, SendBusinessObjects]);
        //serviceResult.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);



    }

    private function onComplete(event:Event):void{
        mx.controls.Alert.show("COMPLETE!");
        var logMessage:String = "4  MOCK   SERVICE FACTORY MOCKED !!!!!";
        sendNotification( MixConstants.LOG_OUTPUT, logMessage );    
        //sendNotification(MixConstants.INTERBAHN_CONNECTED, mockServiceFactory);
    //  commandComplete() ;
    }
}

This is actually trying to set up a MockRepositoryFactory:

public class MockInterbahnServiceFactory implements ServiceFactory
{
    [Mock] public static var withMocks : Array = [
        SendBusinessObjects, EchoBusinessObjects
    ];

    //public static var mockRepository:MockRepository ;//= new MockRepository();
    public var mockSendBusinessObjects:SendBusinessObjects;
    public var mockEchoBusinessObjects:EchoBusinessObjects ;
    public var mockRepository:MockRepository;



    public function MockInterbahnServiceFactory(){
        mockRepository = new MockRepository();
        prepareMocks();
    }

    public function prepareMocks():void{
        var prepareDispatcher:IEventDispatcher = mockRepository.prepare([SendBusinessObjects, EchoBusinessObjects]);
        prepareDispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setupMocks);
    }

    public function setupMocks(event:Event):void{
        mockSendBusinessObjects = SendBusinessObjects(mockRepository.create(SendBusinessObjects));
        mockEchoBusinessObjects = EchoBusinessObjects(mockRepository.create(EchoBusinessObjects));

        SetupResult.forCall(mockSendBusinessObjects.sendOrder(new Order())).returnValue('wee');

    }

    public function createSendBusinessObjectService():SendBusinessObjects{

        return mockSendBusinessObjects;
    }

    public function createEchoBusinessObjectService():EchoBusinessObjects{

        return mockEchoBusinessObjects;
    }

}

}

And at some point this factory is going to get passed around and utilized for the send / receive endpoints for multiple communications (true backend being a scala one).

I'm getting this error:

ArgumentError: returnValue must be assignable from :void

I'm assuming this is because of the interface functions I'm stubbing?

public interface SendBusinessObjects {
     function sendFirmExchangePermission(frp:FirmExchangePermission):void ; 
     function sendFirm(f:Firm):void ;
     function sendExchange(ex:Exchange):void ;
     function sendFXConversion(fx:FXConversion):void ;
     function sendInstrument(ins:Instrument):void ;
     function sendQuote(q:Quote):void ;

Answer 1

It looks to me like SendBusinessObjects returns void, but you are calling returnValue when you are mocking the call to it. Remove the returnValue('wee') call and it should work as expected.
