Test Mocking

The Cache package provide a PHPUnit helper to mock a Cache\Cache object or an Cache\Item object. You can include your own optional overrides in the test class for the following methods:

Cache\Cache::get: Add a method called mockCacheGet to your test class. If omitted, the helper will return a default mock for the Cache\Item class.
Cache\Item::getValue: Add a method called mockCacheItemGetValue to your test class. If omitted, the mock Cache\Item will return "value" when this method is called.
Cache\Item::isHit: Add a method called mockCacheItemIsHit to your test class. If omitted, the mock Cache\Item will return false when this method is called.

use Joomla\Cache\Tests\Mocker as CacheMocker;

class FactoryTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
	private $instance;

	//
	// The following mocking methods are optional.
	//

	/**
	 * Callback to mock the Cache\Item::getValue method.
	 *
	 * @return  string
	 */
	public function mockCacheItemGetValue()
	{
		// This is the default handling.
		// You can override this method to provide a custom return value.
		return 'value';
	}

	/**
	 * Callback to mock the Cache\Item::isHit method.
	 *
	 * @return  boolean
	 */
	public function mockCacheItemIsHit()
	{
		// This is the default handling.
		// You can override this method to provide a custom return value.
		return false;
	}

	/**
	 * Callback to mock the Cache\Cache::get method.
	 *
	 * @param   string  $text  The input text.
	 *
	 * @return  string
	 */
	public function mockCacheGet($key)
	{
		// This is the default handling.
		// You can override this method to provide a custom return value.
		return $this->createMockItem();
	}

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

		$mocker = new CacheMocker($this);

		$this->instance = new SomeClass($mocker->createMockCache());
	}
