Cuckoo

What is Cuckoo?

Cuckoo was created due to lack of a proper Swift mocking framework. We built the DSL to be very similar to Mockito, so anyone using it in Java/Android can immediately pick it up and use it.

How does it work

Cuckoo has two parts. One is the runtime and the other one is an OS X command-line tool simply called CuckooGenerator.

Unfortunately Swift does not have a proper reflection, so we decided to use a compile-time generator to go through files you specify and generate supporting structs/classes that will be used by the runtime in your test target.

The generated files contain enough information to give you the right amount of power. They work based on inheritance and protocol adoption. This means that only overridable things can be mocked. We currently support all features which fulfill this rule except for things listed in TODO. Due to the complexity of Swift it is not easy to check for all edge cases so if you find some unexpected behavior please report it in issues.
