Expect a function not to be called?

[dreambucket13]

So in this scenario:

if (condition)
{
void myFunc();
}

How do I check that myFunc() is not called if condition evaluates to false?

Good news. You don't have to do anything except make sure that condition evaluates to false. If myFunc does get called, then CMock will notice that it was called when it wasn't expected and will report the failure as myFunc called more times than expected. (because it was called at least once, and we expected 0 calls)

Reading that, I just remembered, that you still need to include the mock header file and use setup/verify calls in setup/teardown of your test file for this to be reported.

Are there any reference docs out there on how to do that? Cmock_Summary doesn't seem to cover that.

I assume since this is on the Ceedling forum and not the CMock forum that you're using Ceedling. The setup/verify calls are handled for you by ceedling and you don't need to worry about them. You just have to include the mock.

To get it to link at all, you'll need to include either the mock or the real thing.

I can definitely add this to the CMock summary. :) Leave this issue open and it'll happen!

Ah yes I am indeed using Ceedling. Thanks!

Update - I am clearly doing something wrong. I made a very simple project and this works as I expected.

You probably included real header file before the mock
