unit-testing/mockery-helper

a simple trait for convenient implementation of mockery mocks and spies in PHPUnit tests

UnitTesting\MockeryHelper

Simple module to help with creating mocks using mockery. You won't have to continually reference Mockery\Mockery and keep your tests a little DRY'er., _(*1)

Installation

• composer require --dev unit-testing/mockery-helper:dev-master
• or in require-dev block of composer.json, add "unit-testing/mockery-helper": "dev-master" and then run composer update
• don't forget to require-dev mockery/mockery

Usage

• In your phpunit test, use UnitTesting\MockeryHelper\MockeryTrait.
• in your tearDown() method call $this->closeMocks()
• When you want to mock something, use $this->mock() as an alias for Mockery::mock()
• You can also use $this->spy() as an alias for Mockery::spy()
• Use the result of one of the above function calls as you normally would for your assertions.
• mockery method simply forwards any call to the Mockery static. The first argument is the method, and subsequent arguments are params for the Mockery method.

Example

<?php
use UnitTesting\MockeryHelper\MockeryTrait;
class SomeTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_Testcase {
    use MockeryTrait;
    protected function tearDown()
    {
        $this->cleanUpSomeStuffBeforeEachTest();
        $this->closeMocks();
    }

    function testSomeMethodWithAMock()
    {
        $mock = $this->mock('Child');
        $parent = new ParentThatDependsChild($mock);

        $mock->shouldReceive('doSomething')->once()->with($this->mockery('type', 'string'))->andReturn('result');

        $result = $parent->someMethodWhichCallsDoSomethingOfChild('foo');
        $this->assertEquals('result', $result);
    }
}
