Test::Mock::Object with SOAP::Lite - having no luck

[Xaqte]

I'm trying to use Test::Mock::Object with SOAP::Lite, and I'm getting nowhere quick.

I first tried Test::Mock::LWP:

use Test::Mock::LWP;

BEGIN {
  $Mock_response->mock( content => sub { return  SOAP::SOM->new('<foo>bar</foo>'); } );
  $Mock_ua->set_isa('LWP::UserAgent');
  $Mock_ua->set_true('agent','options','endpoint');
  $Mock_ua->mock( http_request => sub { return HTTP::Response->new(200, '200 OK'); } );
};

The above with a SOAP::Lite call() produce the following error:

A service address has not been specified either by using SOAP::Lite->proxy() or a service description

This error comes from line 3642 of Lite.pm:

    die "A service address has not been specified either by using SOAP::Lite->proxy() or a service description)\n"
        unless defined $self->proxy && UNIVERSAL::isa($self->proxy => 'SOAP::Client');

Going a little deeper, I found this in the output from Dumper of the soap object when called:

                 '_transport' => bless( {
                                          '_proxy' => bless( {}, 'Test::MockObject' )
                                        }, 'SOAP::Transport' ),

This is giving me an indication of why the error is occurring... but I don't know how to begin to fix that w/o
trying to mock SOAP::Lite itself.

Trying to mock SOAP::Lite with Test::Mock::Object has proven unsuccessful so far...

I could continue with all my failed attempts at this... but its just been a stab in the dark as far as creating a decent test environment for SOAP.

Any thoughts/suggestions would greatly be appreciated!
