unit testing - Mocking domain classes in Grails -

i've got set of domain , controller classes called: organization , organizationcontroller respectively.

the organizationcontroller has 1 method:

def index() {     def organizations = organization.list()     [orgs: organizations] } 

i've tried mock out domain class 2 ways.

the first way using @mock annotation, , creating objects , saving:

void "test index"() {     given:     new organization(name: 'jimjim').save()     new organization(name: 'abc').save()      def expected = [org: [new organization(name: 'jimjim'),                     new organization(name: 'abc')]]      when:     def actual = controller.index()      then:     actual == expected } 

that caused oraganization.list return empty list. actual returns [org: []]

i tried using mockdomain:

void "test index"() {     given:       mockdomain(organization, [new organization(name: 'jimjim'),                               new organization(name: 'abc')      ])      def expected = [org: [new organization(name: 'jimjim'),                     new organization(name: 'abc')]]      when:     def actual = controller.index()      then:     actual == expected } 

however still got same result. why domain classes not getting mocked?

my test decoration (organizationcontrollerspec) following:

@testfor(organizationcontroller) @mock(organization) @testmixin(domainclassunittestmixin) class organizationcontrollerspec extends specification { 

i'm using grails 2.3.8.

the first snippet seems ok, but...

first of all, organization objects created? required fields provided? please, try using save(failonerror: true) make sure.

moreover, in controller have orgs, while use org in test. misspell?

also, unless have equals method overwritten in organization class, objects database not equal ones create new operator.
