ProxyMock

This library helps to create a proxy instance of a class which then can hold a PHPUnit mock of it. That way you can manipulate the mock which sits inside the proxy class but never have to change the proxy class.

This can be useful for example in cases of read-only containers where you can't override services at runtime. (The dependency injection container component of Symfony 4 will most likely behave like that.)

class Foo { ... }

$factory = new ProxyMockFactory();
$proxyMock = $factory->create(Foo::class);

// In a PHPUnit test case
$mock = $this->getMockBuilder(Foo::class)
    ->disableOriginalConstructor()
    ->getMock();

$proxyMock->setMock($mock);
