Add "function WillReturn<TReturn>(const AValue : TReturn) : IWhen<T>;" to TProxy<T> about delphi-mocks HOT 5 CLOSED

It would be really nice to write it in order of thought. The current order requires coming back in most cases after you have figured out the type.

What I was thinking was the following;

myMock.Setup(
procedure (myMockType : T)
myMockType.MyMethod()
end).Returns<SomeType>(instanceOfSomeType);

or

myMock.Setup.MyMethod.Returns(instanceOfSomeType);

My method still needs to be called on the passed type. Due to not having lamda's this might not be elegant. The first option might be more possible.

Just a note after attempting briefly to implement an written form of the mock setup. It currently will require a rewrite of most of the supporting classes. This could be done where the current classes are kept as "fluent api" implementation, and another set are introduced as a "written api".

The change would need to be made in how expectations are registered. Instead of being registered when the method is called (fluent method) they would need to be registered when the behavior is defined. By its nature fluent api's are a reverse of what is written, therefore to get what I would like I would have reverse the fluent api implementation to a degree. This might be doubling up where its not really required.

Anyways... onto implementing the overload WillReturn method.

Baaahhh.... Damn interfaces not allowing generic functions. Back to the drawing-board.

I am pretty sure that is only possible with lambdas and generic helpers/extension methods. Both which does not exist in Delphi. But that is how some frameworks do it in C#.

Closing as not currently possible with delphi's implementation of generics on interfaces.
