How to remove protected method on object in scala
Example:
object Test {
def test = {
doTest
}
protected def doTest = {
// do something
}
}
class MockTest extends WordSpec with Mockito{
"" in {
val t = spy(Test)
// how do i stub out doTest?
}
}
I have a Test class with a protected doTest method. How do I remove this protected method?

My advice would be to make the doTest
package private so that clients of your object cannot call it, but you should be able to test it from a single package.
package com.company.my.foo
object Test {
def test = {
doTest
}
private[foo] def doTest = {
// do something
}
}
and
package com.company.my.foo
class MockTest extends WordSpec with Mockito{
"" in {
val t = spy(Test)
when(t.doTest()).thenReturn("foo")
}
}

Test
is a singleton (all Scala objects), you can subclass a class, but not an object. Hence, protected
it is a bit pointless here: you are saying that this method should only be available to subclasses, but it is not possible (since it Test
is an object).
You have several options depending on what suits your needs best. 1) you can make a Test
class and then extend it, or 2) change the access level doTest
to public
[which is the default in Scala if you did not specify an access modifier]
