meck:app

[garazdawi]

This is a feature request for an new function which mocks an application so that you don't have to start all application dependencies when testing an application. i.e.

meck:app(stdlib).
ok = application:start(ssl).

[horkhe]

It seems like to much to ask from a mocking framework that works on the module level.

[eproxus]

This feature is nice, because if you want to mock certain modules in an app, your app might still depend on that app being started, so this is something I'd like to see. It should be fairly easy to implement as well (just respond with a pid, most likely a temp Meck process, for the application callback module).
