Create a mock for a bank account class.

testCase = matlab.mock.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;
[mock,behavior] = testCase.createMock('AddedMethods',"deposit");

Do nothing the first time deposit is called. Throw an exception when the method is called a second time.

import matlab.mock.actions.DoNothing
import matlab.mock.actions.ThrowException
when(withAnyInputs(behavior.deposit),DoNothing().then(ThrowException))

Use the mock. The method call results in no action.

mock.deposit(100)

Call the mock method a second time. MATLAB® throws an error.

mock.deposit(100)

Error using matlab.mock.internal.MockContext/createMockObject/mockMethodCallback (line 382)
The following method call was specified to throw an exception:
	deposit([1×1 matlab.mock.classes.Mock], 100)

Tips

  • Each call to then accepts up to two actions. To specify more subsequent actions, use multiple calls to then. For example, to specify three actions, use action1.then(action2).then(action3).
