Cool...

I did this:
$:.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "mocha", "lib")
require "mocha"
require "tick_server"
require "test/unit"

class TickServerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup
    setup_client
  end

  def setup_client
    EventMachine::Connection.stubs(:initialize).returns(true)
    @server = TickServer.new "foo"
  end

  def test_new_request

    request = "310 <IBM>##lol##"
    @server.receive_data request
    @server.expects(:send_error_without_callback).never
  end

end

I know, I did wrong, and i got the error:

Loaded suite tick_server_test
Started
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  not initialized
Aborted

I will try your approach and see.
