Description
Please let me know if this is already supported, but I have tried to dig through the issues and PR and find nothing relating to this.
Basically, for the following example use case:
package client
//go:generate moq -out myclient_mock.go . Myclient
type MyClient interface {
OtherClient() otherservice.Client
AnotherClient() anotherservice.Client
...
}
where MyClient is an interface that implements other interfaces from different packages, I would like the generated mocked MyClientMock to be able to call the mocked otherService.ClientMock and anotherService.ClientMock.
I can set it up like this to call the other mocked client:
func TestMyClient(t *testing.T) {
myclient := &client.MyClientMock {
OtherClient(): func() otherService.Client {
return otherservice.ClientMock { ... }
}
....
}
}
But the call stack information for the other mocked clients are not available.

Research direction
Start with the //go:generate moq -out myclient_mock.go . Myclient entry point and the generated myclient_mock.go output. Trace how mocked otherService.Client and anotherService.Client values are represented across packages, then verify the example test can retain call-stack information from those nested mocks.
