Question

I have a following snippet with JMock expectations in my test method:

context.checking(new Expectations() {{
    allowing(listener).tableChanged(with(anyInsertionEvent()));
    oneOf(listener).tableChanged(with(aRowChangedEvent(0)));
}});

where anyInsertionEvent and aRowChangedEventAs return instances of Matcher<TableModelEvent>.
This is taken from book “Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests” (p. 181).

I try to convert this test to Groovy, but the method I need:

org.jmock.Expectations.with(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T>)

is shadowed by:

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods.with(java.lang.Object, 
    groovy.lang.Closure<T>)

As a result I get an error during my tests like:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: $Proxy8.tableChanged() is     applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Boolean) values: [false]
Possible solutions: tableChanged(javax.swing.event.TableModelEvent)

How can I use appropriate with method? Or, please, advice any other way to resolve this issue.

UPDATE: it is not shadowing. The method actually called is Expectations.with(Matcher<Boolean>) hence false value in stack-trace. So, method is incorrectly dispatched. Any ideas what to do with that?

UPDATE: Matcher method are the following:

public Matcher<TableModelEvent> anyInsertionEvent() {
    Matcher<Integer> insertMatcher = equalTo(TableModelEvent.INSERT);
    return new FeatureMatcher<TableModelEvent, Integer>(insertMatcher, "is an insertion event", "event type") {
        @Override
        protected Integer featureValueOf(TableModelEvent actual) {
            return actual.getType();
        }
    };
}

private Matcher<TableModelEvent> aRowChangedEvent(int row) {
    return samePropertyValuesAs(new TableModelEvent(model, row));
}

Finally, I found a workaround for this. See the checking code below. new Expectations() {{}} Java syntax has gone and is replaced with closure:

context.checking {
    allowing(listener).tableChanged(argThat(anyInsertionEvent()));
    oneOf(listener).tableChanged(argThat(aRowChangedEvent(0)));
}

Note that with is replaced with argThat (modeled after Mockito). context is not an instance of org.jmock.integration.junit4.JUnit4Mockery as it were, but is an instance of the following class:

class JUnit4GroovyMockery extends JUnit4Mockery {
    public void checking(Closure c) {
         ClosureExpectations expectations = new ClosureExpectations();
         expectations.closureInit(c, expectations);
         super.checking(expectations);
    }

    private static class ClosureExpectations extends Expectations {
        void closureInit(Closure cl, Object delegate) {
            cl.setDelegate(delegate);
            cl.call();
        }

        public Object argThat(Matcher<?> matcher) {
            currentBuilder().addParameterMatcher(matcher);
            return null;
        }
    }
}

This is based on JUnit4GroovyMockery class from http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Using+JMock+with+Groovy. argThat is copy-pasted from Expectations.with(Matcher<T>) and Expectations.addParameterMatcher(Matcher<?>).

This works for me, though I’m not very pleased with this solution; and I’d prefer to keep with name for the method.
