Creating mockobject of Qfile by replacing Qbuffer possible?
-
Hi ya'll,
For the unit testing purpose, I have a QFile writing to and reads from a file. However, I need to replace this file as a memory, such as QBuffer, since they are from the same base class QIODevice, so it won't be necessary to create the file to perform a unit test.
How can I write a method with QFile so it would write to Qbuffer or QByteArray, so I could verify it's contents acting like in memory instead? Likewise, for the other way around reading a Qbuffer from QFile.
What's the best way to approach this? It may require some advanced OOP with inheritance, but I'm not sure it will work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
One way is to use QIODevice rather than QFile for your method.
That way you can pass whatever you want for your tests.

Don't use QFile but your own class which either routes to a QFile or QBuffer/QByteArray.
