Installation

Use Composer to require the library in the project

composer require --dev lucatume/function-mocker-le

Why mocking functions? What problem does this solve?

The library provides a lightweight and dependency-free function mocking solution.
The reason one might want to mock a function in the tests is to test any code that depends on a framework based on functions (e.g. WordPress).
The difference between this library and function-mocker is that this will only work when none of the function it defines are defined during the execution; function-mocker will allow instead monkey-patching the functions at runtime even if those are already defined.
Where function mocker depends on the Patchwork library to allow for user-land monkey-patching this library has a minimal code footprint and only provides a handful of functions.
Patchwork or function-mocker should be used if really loading the mocked functions source cannot be avoided in the tests.

Usage

The library core function is the define($function, $callback) one: it defines a function and sets its content to a callback; in its basic usage it allows setting up a mocked function return value in the tests:

public function test_current_user_can(){
	tad\FunctionMockerLe\define('current_user_can', function(){
		return true;
	});
	
	$this->assertTrue(current_user_can('read_posts'));
}

The $callback argument can be a callable of any kind, in this example I'm using the Prophecy mocking engine to use set complex expectations:

public function test_prophecy(){
	$pr = $this->prophesize(User::class);
	$pr->can('read_posts')->shouldBeCalled();
	$pr->can('edit_posts')->shouldNotBeCalled();
	
	tad\FunctionMockerLe\define('current_user_can', [$pr->reveal(), 'can']);
	
	current_user_can('read_posts');
	current_user_can('edit_posts'); // this will trigger a failure: not expected
	current_user_can('read_posts');
}

Relying on basic assertions provided by hte PhpUnit library is another option:

public function test_prophecy(){
	tad\FunctionMockerLe\define('current_user_can', function($cap){
		PHPUnit\Framework\Assert::assertNotEquals('edit_posts', $cap);
	});
	
	current_user_can('read_posts');
	current_user_can('edit_posts'); // this will trigger a failure: not expected
	current_user_can('read_posts');
}

Where function-mocker tries to provide a feature-reach solution to the problem of mocking functions (and more); this project tries to provide just a basic starting point with no opinionated choices about its usage.
The other functions provided by the libary are just sugar wrappers around the define core; see the example and the /tests folder for clarity.
The undefine($function) and undefineAll() methods will "undefine" functions managed by the Function Mocker LE library; in this context "undefine" means that calling the undefined function will trhow an tad\FunctionMockerLe\UndefinedFunctionException.

Tests

To run the tests install the composer dependencies and run PHPUnit:

composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit

lucatume / function-mocker-le
