I'm trying to create a protocol for something that must also conform to ObservableObject
, which will live within another object Services
:
protocol ThumbnailServiceProtocol: ObservableObject where ObjectWillChangePublisher == ObservableObjectPublisher {
var processingThumbnails: [String] { get }
}
final class ThumbnailService: ThumbnailServiceProtocol {
var processingThumbnails: [String] = []
}
struct Services {
var thumbnailService: ThumbnailServiceProtocol
}
var services = Services(thumbnailService: ThumbnailService())
My problem comes when I try to swap out services to use a mock in my tests like this:
final class MockThumbnailService: ThumbnailServiceProtocol {
var processingThumbnails: [String] = []
}
services = Services(thumbnailService: MockThumbnailService()) /// Cannot convert value of type 'MockThumbnailService' to expected argument type 'ThumbnailServiceProtocol'
I think the problem is coming from the fact that ObservableObject
is a protocol with an associated type ( associatedtype ObjectWillChangePublisher
) but I thought I'd 'filled in the hole' by specifying where ObjectWillChangePublisher == ObservableObjectPublisher
.
Am I missing something please?
Edit: to clarify, services
is a global object which I'd like to swap out with a new instance of Services
containing mocks in my unit tests, which is why I've tried to make this work:
var services = Services(thumbnailService: ThumbnailService())
services = Services(thumbnailService: MockThumbnailService()) /// Cannot convert value of type 'MockThumbnailService' to expected argument type 'ThumbnailServiceProtocol'
The problem in your example is that Services.processingThumbnails
is of type ThumbnailService
, and not ThumbnailServiceProtocol
. These types are not the same. You need to make Services
generic. Try this:
protocol ThumbnailServiceProtocol: ObservableObject {
var processingThumbnails: [String] { get }
}
final class ThumbnailService: ThumbnailServiceProtocol {
var processingThumbnails: [String] = []
}
final class MockThumbnailService: ThumbnailServiceProtocol {
var processingThumbnails: [String] = []
}
struct Services<T> where T: ThumbnailServiceProtocol, T.ObjectWillChangePublisher == ObservableObjectPublisher {
var thumbnailService: T
}
let servicesA = Services(thumbnailService: ThumbnailService())
let servicesB = Services(thumbnailService: MockThumbnailService())
