My boss: Write unit tests for this angular app
Also my boss: what do you mean it will take months to write the necessary mocks for our 177 specs
Also also my boss: why would you need to mock anything for a unit test
Also also also my boss: Just let each component import all the other real components, nevermind that that's an integration test and not a unit test

    Managers who don't know enough about code but try to dictate implementation are the worst.

    My manager use to confuse Java with JavaScript.

    Hate managers!

    It’s like 5pm and I left early and I can cuss openly now.

    People want tests. They don't care whether it's unit tests or integration tests.
    They want tests. Cheap tests. A way to point the program at some stuff and check its reaction. Integration tests that are smaller than full-on integration tests. Tests that shout "ERROR" with no clear indication what and why causes it.

    @Cheeseypi Oh that sucks even more. Now you got to deal with code reviews and managerial crap.

    Double the hate!

    But, well, he is right. Integration tests are cheaper. Cpu time is less valued than dev time.

    @mt3o but he didn't ask for integration tests, he asked for unit tests. And they wouldn't be so expensive if he hadn't waited until Now to get them done!

    @Cheeseypi this is the difference between doing things right and doing things that are economically right.
