i want to write gmock google test cases for the below scenario

Question

i have set of functions within the Singleton class. i want to mock a function in the singleton class. Lets take the below piece of code.The function setname() will return the string from the classyyy's setname() funciton. so here i want to test the return value.so please tell me how to write the test case for this situation.

class mockBtMxxx : public BTMxxx
{
public:
    MOCK_METHOD2(setname, string(const int& id, const string& name));
};

// Test case for Setting Local Device Friendly Name.
TEST(TestBTC, GMockSetNameTest)
{
    mockBtMxxx mock_Btm;
    int id = 12345;
    string str = "Hello";
    EXPECT_CALL(mock_Btm, setname(_,_)).WillOnce(Return("Hello"));
}

I am getting the below errors : error: 'BTMxxx::BTMxxx()' is private gmock-actions.h:491:66: error: no matching function for call to 'ImplicitCast_(const char*&)'

Answer 1

For your first error, you need to make the constructor of your base class callable from the derived class. While you have not shown the declaration of class BTM , it is easy to guess that you have the constructor declared as private currently. I suggest making BTMxxx::BTMxxx() protected so it can be called by the mock class's default constructor.

As to your second error, the return type of setname is probably being deduced as const char* . You need to provide a std::string object in order for it to match the exact return type.

For a more complete picture of your problem, please provide the actual code for the BTMxxx class and specify what platform and compiler you are using.
