This is a tutorial for using https://github.com/etsy/phpunit-extensions/tree/master/PHPUnit/Extensions/Mockery.

Mockery is a simple yet PHP mock object framework for use in unit testing with PHPUnit, PHPSpec or any other testing framework. Its core goal is to offer a test double framework with a succint API capable of clearly defining all possible object operations and interactions using a human readable Domain Specific Language (DSL). Designed as a drop in alternative to PHPUnit's phpunit-mock-objects library, Mockery is easy to integrate with PHPUnit and can operate alongside phpunit-mock-objects without the World ending. — Read more

This extension provides a tooling to make Mockery easier to use in PHPUnit.

Mockery Test Case

This new test case eliminates

  • The need for a bootstrap.php
  • The need for the Mockery\Adapter\Phpunit\TestListener
  • The need for explicit static calls to Mockery
    • You can still use explicit static calls to Mockery, but with Hamcrest, @mockery, and $this->getMockery() you should never need to.

All of this can be had while maintaining backwards compatibility with the MockObject Framework currently employed in PHPUnit.

@mockery

You can give your protected or public properties in your test case an attribute of @mockery {string param} to create a mockery mock of that specification.

<?php

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Mockery_TestCase {

    /** @mockery Foo */
    protected $foo;
}
?>

is the same as

<?php

use Mockery;

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {

    protected $foo;

    protected function setUp() {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->foo = Mockery::mock('Foo');
    }
}
?>

$this->getMockery()

Another way to create a mockery mock is like so

<?php

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Mockery_TestCase {

    protected $foo;

    protected function setUp() {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->foo = $this->getMockery('foo');
    }
}
?>

which is still the same as

<?php

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Mockery_TestCase {

    /** @mockery Foo */
    protected $foo;
}
?>

If you wish to try something more complex, like have a partial mock for Bar that needs a Foo for construction, you could do the following.

<?php

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Mockery_TestCase {

    /** @mockery Foo */
    protected $foo;

    protected $bar;

    protected function setUp() {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->bar = $this->getMockery(new Bar($this->foo));
    }
}
?>

$this->getMock() and $this->getMockBuilder()

This test case does not override $this->getMock() or $this->getMockBuilder(), so that you may still use old mocks in new tests, or you could even switch your old tests over to this test case with out changing anything other than the extends clause.

--strict

Through some naughty implementation details, the expectations on mockery mocks are included in the assertion count for the test, so now you can run tests using mockery that will pass the --strict standards.
