Mocks for various ESP8266 functions and libraries, designed to be used under EpoxyDuino which provides the Arduino programming API on a Linux, MacOS or FreeBSD environment.
The WiFi simulation can manage many virtual devices so it is possible to write unit tests between many Esps.
This project was originally created to run AUnit unit tests for the TinyMqtt library, but it can be useful for any other project that needs mocks for ESP8266 and ESP32 libraries.
You must install the following projects:
- https://github.com/bxparks/EpoxyDuino
- https://github.com/hsaturn/EspMock
- https://github.com/bxparks/AUnit
These projects cannot be installed through the Arduino Library Manager because
they are not normal Arduino libraries. It is probably most convenient to install
them in the same location as other Arduino library directory. In other words,
locate the ./libraries/ directory of your sketchbook directory used by the
Arduino IDE, and run the following commands:
$ cd {SketchBookDirectory}/libraries
$ git clone https://github.com/bxparks/EpoxyDuino
$ git clone https://github.com/hsaturn/EspMock
$ git clone https://github.com/bxparks/AUnitFor each Arduino program, we need to create a Makefile
as described in EpoxyDuino, but with a
few extra parameters:
- Add the
EPOXY_COREvariable with the valueEPOXY_CORE_ESP8266. - Add a
ARDUINO_LIB_DIRSvariable that points to{EspMockDirectory}/librariesdirectory to pickup additional ESP8266 or ESP32 mock libraries provided by EspMock.
The result is a Makefile that looks like this:
APP_NAME := {NameOfSketch}
ARDUINO_LIBS := {Lib1} {Lib2} ...
ARDUINO_LIB_DIRS := {EspMockDirectory}/libraries
EPOXY_CORE := EPOXY_CORE_ESP8266
include {EpoxyDuinoDirectory}/EpoxyDuino.mk
See tests/network-tests/Makefile for a concrete example.
