Checkpoints
When a MockServer instance goes out of scope (i.e. when it's dropped), it will verify that all the expectations
that have been set on its registered mocks have been satisfied.
When you have a complex mocking setup, it can be useful to verify the state of the mocks before the end
of the test.
wiremock provides two methods for this purpose:
MockServer::verifyverifies that all the expectations have been satisfied. It panics if they haven't.- Scoped mocks,
via
MockServer::register_as_scoped.
verify is self-explanatory, so let's dive into scoped mocks.
Scoped mocks
When you register a mock with MockServer::register, it will be active until the MockServer instance goes out of
scope.
MockServer::register_scoped, instead, returns
a MockGuard.
The mock will be active until the guard is alive. When the guard goes out of scope, the mock will be removed from the
MockServer instance and its expectations will be verified.
