I have a base class A:
template <typename Type>
class A {
public:
virtual const std::string& GetName() const = 0;
virtual Type GetDefault() const = 0;
}
And a derived class B:
class B : public A<bool> {
public:
const std::string& GetName() const override {return "bla"; }
bool GetDefault() const override {return false;}
}
I want to Mock class B
and its methods:
class MockB: public B {
public:
MOCK_CONST_METHOD0(GetName, const string&());
MOCK_CONST_METHOD0(GetDefault, bool());
};
Test:
MockB mock;
const std::string key = "something";
EXPECT_CALL(mock, GetName()).WillRepeatedly(ReturnRef(key));
SomeClass.method(mock); // this calls A<T>.GetName() and raises an exception
But I keep getting an exception:
unknown file: error: C++ exception with description "Uninteresting mock function call - returning default value.
Function call: GetName()
The mock function has no default action set, and its return type has no default value set." thrown in the test body.
It's used by the following method:
template<typename ValueType>
ValueType GetCustomSetting(const A<ValueType>& a) const
Which inside calls
a.GetName();
I've tried using MOCK_CONST_METHOD0_T
but it didn't work as well.
