When function-mocker is overkill.
Code example
<?php use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase; use PHPUnit\Framework\Assert; use function tad\FunctionMockerLe\define; use function tad\FunctionMockerLe\defineWithMap; use function tad\FunctionMockerLe\defineWithValueMap; use function tad\FunctionMockerLe\defineAll; use function tad\FunctionMockerLe\undefineAll; class MyOrmTest extends TestCase { public function test_query_parameters_are_preserved(){ // define a non existing function define('get_posts', function(array $args){ Assert::assertEquals(['post_type' => 'book','paginated' => 2, 'posts_per_page' => 6], $args); return []; }); $orm = new MyOrm('book'); $orm->query() ->page(2) ->perPage(6) ->fetch(); } public function test_users_cannot_fetch_posts_they_cannot_read(){ // define a number of functions using a <function> => <callback> map defineWithMap([ 'is_user_logged_in' => function(){ return true; }, 'get_posts' => function(){ return[ ['ID' => 1, 'post_title' => 'One'], ['ID' => 2, 'post_title' => 'Two'], ['ID' => 3, 'post_title' => 'Three'], ['ID' => 4, 'post_title' => 'Four'] ]; }, 'current_user_can' => function($cap, $id){ // a post ID to 'can' map $map = [ 1 => true, 2 => true, 3 => false, 4 => true ]; return $map($id); } ]); $orm = new MyOrm('book'); $books = $orm->query() ->fetch(); $expected = [ ['ID' => 1, 'post_title' => 'One'], ['ID' => 2, 'post_title' => 'Two'], ['ID' => 4, 'post_title' => 'Four'] ]; $this->assertEquals($expected, $books); } public function test_sticky_posts_are_not_prepended_if_not_home_archive_or_tag(){ // define a number of functions all with the same callback... defineAll(['is_home', 'is_archive', 'is_tag'], function(){ return false; }); define('get_posts', function(array $args){ Assert::arrayHasKey('ignore_sticky_posts,', $args); Assert::assertEquals('1', $args['ignore_sticky_posts']); }); $orm = new MyOrm('book'); $orm->query()->fetch(); // ...and then redefine them defineWithValueMap([ 'is_home' => true, 'is_archive' => false, 'is_tag' => false ]); // redefine as needed define('get_posts', function(array $args){ Assert::arrayNotHasKey('ignore_sticky_posts,', $args); }); $orm->query()->fetch(); } public function tearDown() { // undefine all the functions after each test to avoid test dependencies undefineAll(); } }
Installation
Use Composer to require the library in the project
composer require --dev lucatume/function-mocker-le
Why mocking functions? What problem does this solve?
The library provides a lightweight and dependency-free function mocking solution.
The reason one might want to mock a function in the tests is to test any code that depends on a framework based on functions (e.g. WordPress).
The difference between this library and function-mocker is that this will only work when none of the function it defines are defined during the execution; function-mocker will allow instead monkey-patching the functions at runtime even if those are already defined.
Where function mocker depends on the Patchwork library to allow for user-land monkey-patching this library has a minimal code footprint and only provides a handful of functions.
Patchwork or function-mocker should be used if really loading the mocked functions source cannot be avoided in the tests.
Usage
The library core function is the define($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
