Mock with default stub implementation feature about mocktail HOT 3 CLOSED

If you want to have defaults then I recommend creating a Fake:

import 'package:mocktail/mocktail.dart';

class Cat {
  Future<String> meow() async => 'meow';
}

class FakeCat extends Fake implements Cat {
  @override
  Future<String> meow() async => 'default meow';
}

void main() async {
  final cat = FakeCat();

  print(await cat.meow()); // default meow
}

Hope that helps! Closing for now 👍

Hi. From what I can tell, it is not possible to later override the behavior of a Fake with when. I'm wondering if I could define a Fake/Mock class with default behavior, then override some of that only where necessary. For example, a repo that returns empty data unless overriden.

If you really want to do that then you can add the stubs in the mock class’s constructor body or create a helper function that constructs the mock instance and stubs the default methods.
