Mock non deterministic built-in PHP functions (e.g. time() or rand()) with Mockery.

Mock PHP built-in functions with Mockery

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

Installation

Use Composer:

composer require --dev php-mock/php-mock-mockery

Usage

PHPMockery::mock() let's you build a function mock which can be equiped with Mockery's expectations. After your test you'll have to disable all created function mocks by calling Mockery::close().

Example

namespace foo;

use phpmock\mockery\PHPMockery;

$mock = PHPMockery::mock(__NAMESPACE__, "time")->andReturn(3);
assert (3 == time());

\Mockery::close();

Restrictions

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

• Only unqualified function calls in a namespace context can be mocked. E.g. a call for time() in the namespace foo is mockable, 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 PHPMockery::define() before that first call. This would define a side effectless namespaced function.
