mocksocket
----------

tiny class providing an IO/TCPSocket mock, full
duplex and everything. mainly useful for testing
TCPSocket applications.

>> require 'mocksocket'
>> client, server = MockSocket.pipe #=> [M, M]
>> client.puts "hello, I'm a client!"
>> server.gets #=> "hello, I'm a client!\n"
>> server.puts "welcome, client."
>> client.gets #=> "welcome, client.\n"

it uses Timeout, so instead of stalled tests, you
get some timeout exception, if you're trying to
read from an empty buffer.

methods implemented: #puts, #print, #gets, #eof?
and the ever-handy #empty?

as well there's tiny test extensions for test/unit:

  require 'mocksocket/test'

  module Test::Unit::Assertions
    include MockSocket::Assertions
  end

  def setup
    @c, @s = MockSocket.pipe
  end

  def test_empty_buffer
    assert_empty_buffer @c
  end

.. and bacon:

  require 'mocksocket/bacon'

  describe "awesome" do
    before { @c, @s = MockSocket.pipe }

    should "be empty" do
      @c.should.be empty_buffer
    end
  end

that's about it. (c) 2009 harry vangberg and
