Re: [incquery-dev] Tests using Mockito
|
Hi,
in general, non-eclipse.org dependencies at least require extra administrative work, at worst require the qualification of external projects (more specifically legal approval is required for their entire code base). The simple case is if the dependency was already requested and approved for another project, then we could "hijack" their CQ, and also ask for our project.
According to the current case, I have looked at the IPZilla, and have found a use of Mockito 1.8.4 already approved for SWTBot. This means, if we _want_ to use Mockito, we could _request_ it via a "piggy-back" CQ ("simple way").
The question is: what are the benefit of using Mockito (in our current case - in general, it is a nice test framework to use :) )? What issue does it solve that is hard to overcome otherwise? István (Dávid): can you convince us that it is worth to have it? I am not exactly opposed to it, but I would like to see the benefits before starting the required administration to solve this.
In the meanwhile, Mockito (and any other non-eclipse.org dependency not required by Xtext) is not available in the target platform (by design).
Cheers,
Zoli
