+# An example test with Mocktail
+
+As discussed elsewhere, Mocktail's intended use is to facilitate [test-driven development](tdd.md) of [isolated unit tests](support/glossary.md#isolated-unit-testing) by making it trivially easy to achieve isolation
+between a [subject under test](support/glossary.md#subject-under-test) and its [dependencies](support/glossary.md#dependency).
+
+## A small example problem: slicing fruit
+
+In order to walk through an example test, we need to dream up a class and method
+to implement that is simple enough to condense into example code but realistic
+enough to show off the workflow Mocktail was designed to facilitate. And to do
+that, it's useful context to start with the end in mind. In a codebase that
+was primarily developed with outside-in test-driven development, it's typical
+to see the following:
+
+* The average [delegator](support/glossary.md#delegator) has 3 dependencies that
+implement logic
+* Delegators are typically the only units of code whose tests use [test
+doubles](support/glossary.md#test-double), and they tend to simplify their usage
+by _only_ delegating as opposed to performing any logic, thereby avoiding [mixed
+levels of abstraction](support/glossary.md#level-of-abstraction)
+* Because most real-world applications don't exist in a vacuum, a given
+entrypoint for a unit of work will typically shake out into a tree of
+dependencies that resembles an [extract, transform,
+load](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extract,_transform,_load) process
+
+With that in mind, let's write a test of a delegator that assists in the prep
+work before a bar opens: getting fruits from the fridge, slicing them, and
+storing them in a prep station.
+
+One way to identify the jobs to be done is to translate a narrative summary of a feature into a list of discrete responsibilities or activities. A class that
+manages fruit prep would:
+
+1. Fetch fruits from the stock room
+2. Slice each fruit
+3. Store each fruit in a prep station
+
+If we were practicing traditional test-driven development, we might start with a
+test that jumps into implementing one of these activities and then continue to
+add test cases until all the responsibilities are covered. If the subject were
+to get too complex as we saddled it with more tasks, we might pause to extract
+those responsibilities into single-responsibility sub-units, which would often
+necessitate moving test code around or otherwise testing those sub-units only
+indirectly through the original subject.
+
+Outside-in test driven development flips the order of operations: once we know
+what the subject needs to do, we imagine new subordinate units to delegate the
+work to and use our test to specify the relationship between the subject and its
+dependencies. We would repeat this process until we were left with a number of
+irreducibly simple, single-responsibility units of domain logic that could
+largely be implemented via straightforward tests (without mocks), often as pure
+functions. This way, simplicity is baked into the process instead of an
+afterthought—where classical TDD often succeeds or fails based on the
+practitioner's patience and discipline to remember to refactor.
+
+To make this a little clearer, let's illustrate the ordered list above into imagined dependencies that a delegator might need to accomplish the work:
+
+<p align="center" width="100%">
+  <img src="img/example_test.png" width="480" alt="an example tree of dependencies that do the above work">
+</p>
+
+The diagram matches the assumptions of a typical delegator described above: a
+subject with 3 dependencies, that does nothing but delegate its responsibility,
+and a tree that resembles an extract-transform-load process: something to fetch
+data based on a request, something to perform logic, and something to put the
+result somewhere.
+
+To visualize what we mean by ETL:
+
+<p align="center" width="100%">
+  <img src="img/extract_transform_load.png" width="480" alt="illustrating the tree as an ETL process">
+</p>
+
+If you're new to isolated TDD, the focus on these heuristics may appear like
+arbitrary strictures but in reality are just observations of patterns that
+emerge over time when your practice and tools pushes you to the extreme end of
+breaking down problems into small, single-purpose functions and methods. The
+reason ETL emerges as a common pattern is because a huge proportion of software
+features entails getting data via I/O, doing something interesting with that
+data, and then putting that data somewhere.
+
+## Initial test setup
+
+Okay, so with that gameplan, let's start writing a test. We will use [dependency
+inception](tdd/poro/dependency_inception.md) to get our dependencies in the
+hands of our subject using [Mocktail.of_next](support/api.md#mocktailof_next):
+
+```ruby
+require "test_helper"
+
+class PrepsFruitsTest < Minitest::Test
+  def setup
+    @fetches_fruits = Mocktail.of_next(FetchesFruits)
+    @slices_fruit = Mocktail.of_next(SlicesFruit)
+    @stores_fruit = Mocktail.of_next(StoresFruit)
+
+    @subject = PrepsFruits.new
+  end
+
+  def test_prep
+    # TODO
+  end
+end
+```
+
+If we run this test, of course it will fail, because none of the things
+referenced in `setup` exist yet!  That said, it's important to get in the habit
+of running tests early and often to make sure that their message and status
+matches our expectations.
+
+```
+PrepsFruitsTest#test_prep:
+NameError: uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::FetchesFruits
+    example.rb:5:in `setup'
+```
+
+As they say, the goal of each action in TDD is to "either make the test pass or
+change the message", so let's rapidly iterate to overcome each of these errors
+until the empty `test_prep` method exits cleanly:
+
+```ruby
+class FetchesFruits
+end
+```
+
+Fails with `uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::SlicesFruit` until we:
+
+```ruby
+class SlicesFruit
+end #=> message is now: `uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::StoresFruit`
+
+class StoresFruit
+end #=> message is now: `uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::PrepsFruits`
+
+class PrepsFruits
+end #=> …success!
+```
+
+Creating these 4 classes (the subject and its three dependencies) is enough to
+get the test to exit cleanly for now.
+
+## Arrange: creating values and configuring stubbings
+
+Each test has three phases: [arrange, act, and
+assert](support/glossary.md#arrange-act-assert), and it usually makes the most
+sense to start with test setup. Here we'll need to create the
+[values](support/glossary.md#value) that our subject will be acting on as well
+as the [stubbing](support/glossary.md#stub) configurations for each of its
+mocked dependencies.
+
+Like before, we'll rapidly iterate by adding a stubbing, running the test,
+making a change, and changing the message. After you get in the flow, driving
+the design of a system with outside-in test-driven development starts to feel
+like [paint by number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_by_number).
+
+We'll start by stubbing the first interaction to fetch the fruit. This will
+require us to specify some value objects (fruits) we haven't created yet.
+
+```ruby
+def test_prep
+  fruits = [Lime.new, Mango.new, Pineapple.new]
+  stubs { @fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]) }.with { fruits }
+  # …TODO
+end
+```
+
+The first error is `uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::Lime`, so let's
+start fixing:
+
+```ruby
+class Lime
+end # message is now: uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::Mango
+
+class Mango
+end # message is now: uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::Pineapple
+
+class Pineapple
+end
+```
+
+After defining `Pineapple`, the next message becomes more interesting!
+
+```
+No method `FetchesFruits#fetch' exists for call:
+
+  fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple])
+
+Need to define the method? Here's a sample definition:
+
+  def fetch(lime_mango_pineapple)
+  end
+```
+
+Mocktail can see what we're stubbing and tries to guess the number and name of
+arguments based on what we passed in, generating a little method for us. We can
+paste that in or we can write our own to clear the error and change the message:
+
+```ruby
+class FetchesFruits
+  def fetch(types)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+And now we're back to passing! Let's move onto the next stubbing. This one is
+much fancier, so look closely:
+
+```ruby
+def test_prep
+  fruits = [Lime.new, Mango.new, Pineapple.new]
+  stubs { @fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]) }.with { fruits }
+  stubs { |m| @slices_fruit.slice(m.is_a(Fruit)) }.with { |call|
+    SlicedFruit.new(call.args.first)
+  }
+  # …TODO
+end
+```
+
+This stubbing is taking advantage of two advanced features in Mocktail:
+
+* **Argument matchers -** the [m.is_a](support/api.md#mis_a) matcher allows the
+stubbing to do triple-duty and results in the stub being satisfied any time
+a `Fruit` instance is passed to `@slices_fruit.slice`
+* **Call introspection -** `with` receives an optional
+[Call](/src/mocktail/value/call.rb) block param that represents an actual call
+of the mocked method by the subject whenever it satisfies the stub configuration
+
+If you're not used to reading Mocktail's API yet, these two stubbings can be
+combined to facilitate production code like this:
+
+```ruby
+@fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]).map { |fruit|
+  @slices_fruit.slice(fruit)
+} #=> returns [SlicedFruit(Lime), SlicedFruit(Mango), SlicedFruit(Pineapple)]
+```
+
+But initially, this will raise a few new errors for us to clear, starting with
+`uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::Fruit`. Let's clear it:
+
+```ruby
+class Fruit
+end
+
+class Lime < Fruit
+end
+
+class Mango < Fruit
+end
+
+class Pineapple < Fruit
+end
+```
+
+Here's the next error:
+
+```
+No method `SlicesFruit#slice' exists for call:
+
+  slice(is_a(Fruit))
+```
+
+So let's go and create one!
+
+```ruby
+class SlicesFruit
+  def slice(fruit)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+And we're back to passing.
+
+## Act: invoking our subject
+
+Impatient readers will note in frustration that we've created eight classes but
+still haven't _even defined the method to be tested_, `PrepsFood#prep`!
+
+Now that our basic stubs are in place, let's invoke that method as our test's
+"[act](support/glossary.md#arrange-act-assert)" phase:
+
+```ruby
+def test_prep
+  fruits = [Lime.new, Mango.new, Pineapple.new]
+  stubs { @fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]) }.with { fruits }
+  stubs { |m| @slices_fruit.slice(m.is_a(Fruit)) }.with { |call|
+    SlicedFruit.new(call.args.first)
+  }
+
+  @subject.prep([:lime, :mango, :pineapple])
+
+  # …TODO
+end
+```
+
+As you might expect, the test is telling us to create the method we're here to
+implement: `undefined method 'prep' for #<PrepsFruits:0x0000000105008060>`, so
+let's make it:
+
+```ruby
+class PrepsFruits
+  def prep(fruit_types)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+And we're passing again.
+
+That's it! The "Act" phase is usually a one line invocation, because ideally the
+subject should be able to do its job being told only once.
+
+## Assert: verifying our interactions
+
+Now that we've completed the Arrange and Act, we can deal with the
+[Assert](support/glossary.md#arrange-act-assert) phase of our test.
+
+But how should we assert that the sliced fruit gets stored? None of the code
+exists yet, so the assertion we encode into our test will specify the API of the
+class responsible for storing fruit. This can make some folks feel a little
+queasy, because in the context of traditional TDD, the subject should be a black
+box—meaning tests should not be aware of, much less determine the subject's
+implementation details. But isolated TDD flips things inside-out: the test
+becomes a sounding board for iterating rapidly on the public APIs of not only
+the subject, but of the layer of dependencies beneath it. This gives the test
+author the opportunity to play with a new API contract (name, parameters, and
+return value) via a lightweight
+[demonstration](support/glossary.md#demonstration) of a method that doesn't even
+exist yet, which means every new method is created through _actual, necessary
+use_ instead of being typed into a blank class listing. Letting usage determine
+the API confers the same benefits as [readme-driven
+development](https://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven-development.html)
+by working outside-in and making mistakes cheap to fix. If a method doesn't feel
+right, reconfiguring the stubbing in place doesn't require switching files,
+renaming references, or moving parameters around. Put differently, if
+refactoring is the third step in classical TDD's "red-green-refactor", it's the
+_first_ step when practicing isolated TDD. (Prefactoring?)
+
+To illustrate how the assertions we choose can impact the API of our subject and
+its dependencies, we're going to show two different ways to finish writing this
+test, starting with an approach that verifies a call occurred and finishing with
+assertions of a return value from the subject.
+
+### Approach 1: verifying the method was called
+
+One approach would be to verify that `StoresFruit#store` is invoked for each
+`SlicedFruit` instance using [verify](support/api.md#mocktailverify). Let's play
+that out here.
+
+```ruby
+def test_prep
+  fruits = [Lime.new, Mango.new, Pineapple.new]
+  stubs { @fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]) }.with { fruits }
+  stubs { |m| @slices_fruit.slice(m.is_a(Fruit)) }.with { |call|
+    SlicedFruit.new(call.args.first)
+  }
+
+  @subject.prep([:lime, :mango, :pineapple])
+
+  verify { |m|
+    @stores_fruit.store(m.that { |sliced_fruit| sliced_fruit.type == Lime })
+  }
+  verify { |m|
+    @stores_fruit.store(m.that { |sliced_fruit| sliced_fruit.type == Mango })
+  }
+  verify { |m|
+    @stores_fruit.store(m.that { |sliced_fruit| sliced_fruit.type == Pineapple })
+  }
+end
+```
+
+Above, we're using another matcher, [m.that](support/api.md#mthat), to ensure
+that each `store` was called with one of each type of fruit. (`m.that` takes a
+block parameter that receives the actual argument it stands in for, passing the
+verification when it returns truthy and failing it otherwise.)
+
+We could have implemented this verification more simply by assigning
+`SlicedFruit` instances in the test and stubbing & verifying them by reference.
+This would have added another set of variables to track, but would eliminate the
+need for using any `m` argument matchers. (The purpose of these docs is to teach
+Mocktail's API, so it errs on the side of leaning harder into the library's
+features.)
+
+Running our test yields our next error `No method 'StoresFruit#store' exists`.
+We can fix that:
+
+```ruby
+class StoresFruit
+  def store(fruit)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Finally, this yields an actual assertion failure:
+
+```
+Mocktail::VerificationError: Expected mocktail of `StoresFruit#store' to be called like:
+
+  store(that {…})
+
+But it was never called.
+```
+
+This is a big deal! It means it's _finally_ time to start implementing the
+subject method based on all the decisions driven out by our test so far. We can
+write most of these interactions in one fell swoop, because the test setup
+already forced us to make most of the decisions of consequence about the code
+itself.
+
+Here's how the `PrepsFruit` class might shake out:
+
+```ruby
+class PrepsFruits
+  def initialize
+    @fetches_fruits = FetchesFruits.new
+    @slices_fruit = SlicesFruit.new
+    @stores_fruit = StoresFruit.new
+  end
+
+  def prep(fruit_types)
+    @fetches_fruits.fetch(fruit_types).each do |fruit|
+      sliced_fruit = @slices_fruit.slice(fruit)
+      @stores_fruit.store(sliced_fruit)
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This may feel like a lot of code to write in one go, but it was all preordained
+by the test, so it kind of just writes itself.
+
+Does it work? No! But it changed the message to something we might not have
+realized we hadn't created yet: `uninitialized constant
+PrepsFruitsTest::SlicedFruit`.
+
+This is actually good news! Because `SlicedFruit.new` is only refrenced inside
+a `stubs…with {}` block, it means the implementation above is successfully
+invoking the first two of three dependencies.
+
+Let's implement our `SlicedFruit` [value object](support/glossary.md#value)
+next, noting that its initializer takes a basic `Fruit` object and (per what we
+specified in our `verify` block), exposes the fruit's class via a `type` method:
+
+```ruby
+class SlicedFruit
+  def initialize(fruit)
+    @fruit = fruit
+  end
+
+  def type
+    @fruit.class
+  end
+end
+```
+
+And… boom! The test passes. That means all of our setup and assertions worked
+and the implementation passes the test!
+
+That said, _never trust a test you haven't seen fail_. To be sure the test's
+passing isn't an indication of a faulty assertion, let's jiggle the handle by
+tweaking one of those `verify` calls:
+
+```ruby
+verify { |m|
+  @stores_fruit.store(m.that { |sliced_fruit| sliced_fruit.type == :nonsense })
+}
+```
+
+Running the test again, we get an error that tells us that the code is doing
+exactly what we want… yay!
+
+```
+Mocktail::VerificationError: Expected mocktail of `StoresFruit#store' to be called like:
+
+  store(that {…})
+
+It was called differently 3 times:
+
+  store(#<SlicedFruit:0x00000001036357a0 @fruit=#<Lime:0x00000001036d1998>>)
+
+  store(#<SlicedFruit:0x000000010622df10 @fruit=#<Mango:0x00000001036d1808>>)
+
+  store(#<SlicedFruit:0x0000000106226580 @fruit=#<Pineapple:0x00000001036d16f0>>)
+```
+
+We could stop here and call the job done. We have a working `PrepsFruit` class
+that does what it set out to do by loading, slicing, and storing fruits. But
+because this is a tutorial, let's take a moment to reflect on where this test
+led us and how things could have played out differently.
+
+### Approach 2: asserting a result value
+
+Because `each` doesn't return a meaningful value, whenever we see an `each`
+block, whatever it's doing must be a side effect. And since side effects are
+generally less desirable than returning values, it's worth pausing and asking if
+there was a different approach we could have taken.
+
+It turns out, there is! Even though Mocktail offers a robust `verify` method,
+it should be used sparingly, because—like `each`—its only real utility is to
+specify interactions that don't return a value. Methods that return values are
+generally more useful, so let's rewind the clock, delete the production code
+we just wrote, and set up our assertions to interrogate a return value instead
+of verifying calls to `StoresFruit#store`.
+
+Here's where the test stood after completing the Act phase:
+
+```ruby
+def test_prep
+  fruits = [Lime.new, Mango.new, Pineapple.new]
+  stubs { @fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]) }.with { fruits }
+  stubs { |m| @slices_fruit.slice(m.is_a(Fruit)) }.with { |call|
+    SlicedFruit.new(call.args.first)
+  }
+
+  result = @subject.prep([:lime, :mango, :pineapple])
+end
+```
+
+And here's an alternate assertion we might have written, this time stubbing
+`StoresFruit#store` and asserting the return value:
+
+```ruby
+def test_prep
+  fruits = [Lime.new, Mango.new, Pineapple.new]
+  stubs { @fetches_fruits.fetch([:lime, :mango, :pineapple]) }.with { fruits }
+  stubs { |m| @slices_fruit.slice(m.is_a(Fruit)) }.with { |call|
+    SlicedFruit.new(call.args.first)
+  }
+  stubs { |m| @stores_fruit.store(m.is_a(SlicedFruit)) }.with { |call|
+    StoredFruit.new("ID for #{call.args.first.type}", call.args.first)
+  }
+
+  result = @subject.prep([:lime, :mango, :pineapple])
+
+  assert_equal 3, result.size
+  assert_equal "ID for Lime", result[0].id
+  assert_equal Lime, result[0].fruit.type
+  assert_equal "ID for Mango", result[1].id
+  assert_equal Mango, result[1].fruit.type
+  assert_equal "ID for Pineapple", result[2].id
+  assert_equal Pineapple, result[2].fruit.type
+end
+```
+
+In the reimagined test above, we decided that instead of being a fire-and-forget
+call, a value representing a stored fruit with a unique ID could be returned
+from `StoresFruit.store`. Of course, the stubbing _could_ have mutated the
+`SlicedFruit` passed to it (just as `SlicedFruit#slice` could have mutated the
+`Fruit` it received), but if we're going to go to great lengths to return values
+instead of have side effects, we may as well go the extra mile and avoid
+mutating those values.
+
+After clearing out `PrepsFruit#prep`, the test will error with `undefined method
+'size' for nil:NilClass`, since it's not returning anything.
+
+Let's try our hand at a new implementation that should pass the test:
+
+```ruby
+def prep(fruit_types)
+  @fetches_fruits.fetch(fruit_types).map { |fruit|
+    fruit = @slices_fruit.slice(fruit)
+    @stores_fruit.store(fruit)
+  }
+end
+```
+
+But it errors! The `StoredFruit` value hasn't been created yet. Let's clear the
+`uninitialized constant PrepsFruitsTest::StoredFruit` message by implementing it
+as a `Struct`:
+
+```ruby
+StoredFruit = Struct.new(:id, :fruit)
+```
+
+And now things are passing!
+
+If we're paranoid, we can quickly check that everything's working by changing
+out one of the test's final assertions to see the failure it produces:
+
+```ruby
+assert_equal "ID for Zebras", result[2].id
+#=>
+# PrepsFruitsTest#test_prep [example.rb:29]:
+# Expected: "ID for Zebras"
+#   Actual: "ID for Pineapple"
+```
+
+And that's the kind of failure that we'd expect to see if everything was working
+as we expected. Great job!
+
