  • Entrait v0.3.2
    5 projects | /r/rust | 27 Jun 2022
    A goal when designing Entrait (and unimock) was to create a completely zero-cost design pattern and testing library for Rust applications, even usable in no_std runtimes. Though I don't do any embedded development myself, I believe that Entrait is now a lot closer to that goal.

  • Mocking in Rust: Mockall and alternatives
    7 projects | dev.to | 23 May 2023
    Faux allows you to create mock versions of a struct without complicating your code. Like many mocking libraries, faux is only recommended for testing purposes. Mock objects in production may be unstable and cause production problems.
  • Mocking Crates Experience
    1 project | /r/rust | 5 Jan 2023
    I am not a fan of the: "make a trait for every struct so it can be tested" strategy that a lot of mocking libraries or hand rolled mocks do in Rust so I wrote my own library that allows you mock structs directly: https://github.com/nrxus/faux/. Unlike libraries that rely on using traits/dynamic dispatch for mocking this let's your signatures stay as simple as you want them and not incur any runtime cost when doing non-test builds.
  • Mocking trait object without a library
    1 project | /r/rust | 16 Aug 2021
    for a quick shill moment: I did write a mocking library that deliberately does not pollute the original object and tries to be as out of the way as possible: https://github.com/nrxus/faux/. It does work by using macros (don't hate me yet!) but these macros will only be executed when building for test thus not polluting the original objects for production code.
  • faux: a struct mocking library - landing v0.1
    1 project | /r/rust | 19 Apr 2021
    These are the tests for an example: https://github.com/nrxus/faux/blob/master/tests/asynchronous.rs
