Mocks

Declare mocks inside Codeception\Test\Unit class. If you want to use mocks outside it, check the reference for Codeception/Stub library.

public make($class, $params = null)

Instantiates a class without executing a constructor. Properties and methods can be set as a second parameter. Even protected and private properties can be set.

{% highlight php %}

make('User'); $this->make('User', ['name' => 'davert']); ?>

{% endhighlight %}

Accepts either name of class or object of that class

{% highlight php %}

make(new User, ['name' => 'davert']); ?>

{% endhighlight %}

To replace method provide it's name as a key in second parameter and it's return value or callback function as parameter

{% highlight php %}

@return object

public static never($params = null)

Checks if a method never has been invoked

If method invoked, it will immediately throw an exception.

{% highlight php %}

make('User', [ 'getName' => Expected::never(), 'someMethod' => function() {} ]); $user->someMethod(); ?>

{% endhighlight %}

• param mixed $params @return StubMarshaler

public static once($params = null)

Checks if a method has been invoked exactly one time.

If the number is less or greater it will later be checked in verify() and also throw an exception.

{% highlight php %}

make( 'User', array( 'getName' => Expected::once('Davert'), 'someMethod' => function() {} ) ); $userName = $user->getName(); $this->assertEquals('Davert', $userName); ?>

{% endhighlight %} Alternatively, a function can be passed as parameter:

{% highlight php %}

make( 'User', array( 'getName' => Expected::atLeastOnce('Davert')), 'someMethod' => function() {} ) ); $user->getName(); $userName = $user->getName(); $this->assertEquals('Davert', $userName); ?>

{% endhighlight %}

Alternatively, a function can be passed as parameter:

{% highlight php %}

make( 'User', array( 'getName' => Expected::exactly(3, 'Davert'), 'someMethod' => function() {} ) ); $user->getName(); $user->getName(); $userName = $user->getName(); $this->assertEquals('Davert', $userName); ?>
