libmockspotify

A mock of libspotify for use in development of language bindings.

This project was started in July 2011 with the goal of splitting out pyspotify’s mock of libspotify, so that it could be reused by the developers of the Node.js and Ruby bindings for libspotify.

Coordination of the development efforts happens on GitHub and #spotify on Freenode.

Note about my fork

---

To ease usage in my own development, I’ve turned this project into a Ruby gem. This allows you to install it as a gem, and also allows you to retrieve the path to the compiled binary.

Installing it as a gem:

gem install mockspotify

Using its’ API (one method):

require ‘mockspotify’ MockSpotify.lib_path # => path/to/gem/src/libmockspotify.extension

You can then use this to bind this library using Ruby FFI:

require ‘ffi’ require ‘mockspotify’

module Spotify

extend FFI::Library
ffi_lib MockSpotify.lib_path

attach_function …, etc

end

Manual compilation

If you ever want to do it, here you go:

$ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make # make install
