+
−
+
−  $ python mox_test.py
+
−
+
−Basic usage:
+
−
+
−  import unittest
+
−  import mox
+
−
+
−  class PersonTest(mox.MoxTestBase):
+
−
+
−    def testUsingMox(self):
+
−      # Create a mock Person
+
−      mock_person = self.mox.CreateMock(Person)
+
−
+
−      test_person = ...
+
−      test_primary_key = ...
+
−      unknown_person = ...
+
−
+
−      # Expect InsertPerson to be called with test_person; return
+
−      # test_primary_key at that point
+
−      mock_person.InsertPerson(test_person).AndReturn(test_primary_key)
+
−
+
−      # Raise an exception when this is called
+
−      mock_person.DeletePerson(unknown_person).AndRaise(UnknownPersonError())
+
−
+
−      # Switch from record mode to replay mode
+
−      self.mox.ReplayAll()
+
−
+
−      # Run the test
+
−      ret_pk = mock_person.InsertPerson(test_person)
+
−      self.assertEquals(test_primary_key, ret_pk)
+
−      self.assertRaises(UnknownPersonError, mock_person, unknown_person)
