Make SpiceManager mockable about robospice

[stephanenicolas]

That's a very good point and I am glad RoboSpice starts being mocked ;)

Can you precise your question ? There are actually plenty of publicly exposed methods that you can mock. Which part is more difficult / interesting to mock ?

They dont need to be public methods, either protected or removing final modifiers.

CheckManifest was one of them, generally any method bindToService etc.. Just some of the low level stuff.

Luckily the newer versions Robolectric make this easier, just methods that talk to low level and service binding which I know i can just mock.

I am not sure of what you want to achieve :

1. create a mock of a spice manager and inject it into your own class dependencies
2. create a mock of the spice manager dependencies and inject them into the spice manager class to test it ?

It seems to me you want to achieve the first goal. So why can't you mock the SpiceManager class ? What kind of partial mocking are you looking for ?
