README

This package integrates the function mock library PHP-Mock with Prophecy.

Installation

Use Composer:

composer require --dev php-mock/php-mock-prophecy

Usage

Build a new PHPProphet and create function prophecies for a given namespace with PHPProphet::prophesize():

namespace foo;

use phpmock\prophecy\PHPProphet;

$prophet = new PHPProphet();

$prophecy = $prophet->prophesize(__NAMESPACE__);
$prophecy->time()->willReturn(123);
$prophecy->reveal();

assert(123 == time());
$prophet->checkPredictions();

Restrictions

This library comes with the same restrictions as the underlying php-mock:

  • Only unqualified function calls in a namespace context can be prophesized. E.g. a call for time() in the namespace foo is prophesizable, a call for \time() is not.

  • The mock has to be defined before the first call to the unqualified function in the tested class. This is documented in Bug #68541. In most cases you can ignore this restriction. But if you happen to run into this issue you can call PHPProphet::define() before that first call. This would define a side effectless namespaced function.

  • Additionally it shares restrictions from Prophecy as well: Prophecy doesn't support pass-by-reference. If you need pass-by-reference in prophecies, consider using another framework (e.g. php-mock-phpunit).
