I've got a problem with mocking an overloaded __get($index) method. The code for the class to be mocked and the system under test that consumes it is as follows:
<?php
class ToBeMocked
{
protected $vars = array();
public function __get($index)
{
if (isset($this->vars[$index])) {
return $this->vars[$index];
} else {
return NULL;
}
}
}
class SUTclass
{
protected $mocky;
public function __construct(ToBeMocked $mocky)
{
$this->mocky = $mocky;
}
public function getSnack()
{
return $this->mocky->snack;
}
}
Test looks as follows:
<?php
class GetSnackTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
protected $stub;
protected $sut;
public function setUp()
{
$mock = $this->getMockBuilder('ToBeMocked')
->setMethods(array('__get')
->getMock();
$sut = new SUTclass($mock);
}
/**
* @test
*/
public function shouldReturnSnickers()
{
$this->mock->expects($this->once())
->method('__get')
->will($this->returnValue('snickers');
$this->assertEquals('snickers', $this->sut->getSnack());
}
}
Real code is a little bit more complex, though not much, having "getSnacks()" in its parent class. But this example should suffice.
Problem is I get the following error, when executing the test with PHPUnit:
Fatal error: Method Mock_ToBeMocked_12345672f::__get() must take exactly 1 argument in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Framework/MockObject/Generator.php(231)
When I debug I can't even reach the test method. It seems it breaks at setting up the mock object.
Any ideas?
