Support type-safe `Do()` and `DoAndReturn()` methods
Requested feature
Similar to https://github.com/golang/mock/issues/622, having a type-safe Do() and DoAndReturn():
- Makes it easier to write
Do()andDoAndReturn()code with autocomplete and type checks - When functions are refactored, the type check of these functions helps identifies what tests need to be updated
- Protects against runtime issues that can be effectively caught during compile time or linting.
Given the interface:
type Foo interface {
Bar(i int64, s string) (b bool)
}
gomock generates the following methods:
Do(f interface{})
DoAndReturn(f interface{})
Therefore, any function (even when it doesn't match the original interface's method signature) can be passed to Do() and DoAndReturn() risking a runtime error and making it difficult to refactor method signatures effectively.
Proposed Solution
Based on the example of, the following should become the signatures of Do() and DoAndReturn() of the generated mock:
Do(f func(int64, string))
DoAndReturn(f func(int64, string) bool)
