Mocking framework inspired by Mockito for Java
Checkout the original's website for the philosophy behind the API and more examples (although be aware that this is only a partial implementation for now)
Thanks to the developers of Mockito for the inspiration, and hamcrest-php for making this easy.
// Create the mock
$iterator = Phockito::mock('ArrayIterator');
// Use the mock object - doesn't do anything, functions return null
$iterator->append('Test');
$iterator->asort();
// Selectively verify execution
Phockito::verify($iterator)->append('Test');
// 1 is default - can also do 2, 3 for exact numbers, or 1+ for at least one, or 0 for never
Phockito::verify($iterator, 1)->asort();If PHPUnit is available, on failure verify throws a PHPUnit_Framework_AssertionFailedError (looks like an assertion failure),
otherwise just throws an Exception
// Create the mock
$iterator = Phockito::mock('ArrayIterator');
// Stub in a value
Phockito::when($iterator->offsetGet(0))->return('first');
// Prints "first"
print_r($iterator->offsetGet(0));
// Prints null, because get(999) not stubbed
print_r($iterator->offsetGet(999));Alternative API, jsMockito style
// Stub in a value
Phockito::when($iterator)->offsetGet(0)->return('first');Mocks are full mocks - method calls to unstubbed function always return null, and never call the parent function.
You can also create partial mocks by calling spy instead of mock. With spies, method calls to unstubbed functions
call the parent function.
Because spies are proper subclasses, this lets you stub in methods that are called by other methods in a class
class A {
function Foo(){ return 'Foo'; }
function Bar(){ return $this->Foo() . 'Bar'; }
}
// Create a mock
$mock = Phockito::mock('A');
print_r($mock->Foo()); // 'null'
print_r($mock->Bar()); // 'null'
// Create a spy
$spy = Phockito::spy('A');
print_r($spy->Foo()); // 'Foo'
print_r($spy->Bar()); // 'FooBar'
// Stub a method
Phockito::when($spy)->Foo()->return('Zap');
print_r($spy->Foo()); // 'Zap'
print_r($spy->Bar()); // 'ZapBar'Phockito allows the use of Hamcrest matchers on any argument. Hamcrest is a library of "matching functions" that, given a value, return true if that value matches some rule.
Hamcrest matchers are not included by default, so the first step is to call Phockito::include_hamcrest(); immediately after including Phockito.
Note that this will import the Hamcrest matchers as global functions - passing false as an argument will keep your namespace clean by making all matchers only available as static methods of Hamcrest (at the expense of worse looking test code).
Once included you can pass a Hamcrest matcher as an argument in your when or verify rule, eg:
class A {
function Foo($a){ }
}
$stub = Phockito::mock('A');
Phockito::when($stub)->Foo(anything())->return('Zap');Some common Hamcrest matchers:
- Core
anything- always matches, useful if you don't care what the object under test is
- Logical
allOf- matches if all matchers match, short circuits (like PHP &&)anyOf- matches if any matchers match, short circuits (like PHP ||)not- matches if the wrapped matcher doesn't match and vice versa
- Object
equalTo- test object equality using the == operatoranInstanceOf- test typenotNullValue,nullValue- test for null
- Number
closeTo- test floating point values are close to a given valuegreaterThan,greaterThanOrEqualTo,lessThan,lessThanOrEqualTo- test ordering
- Text
equalToIgnoringCase- test string equality ignoring caseequalToIgnoringWhiteSpace- test string equality ignoring differences in runs of whitespacecontainsString,endsWith,startsWith- test string matching
In Mockito, the methods when building a stub are limited to thenReturns, thenThrows. In Phockito, you can use any method
as long as it has 'return' or 'throw' in it, so Phockito::when(...)->return(1)->thenReturn(2) is fine.
In Mockito, to use a Hamcrest matcher, the argThat method is used to satisfy the type checker. In PHP, a little extra
help is needed. Phockito provides the argOfTypeThat for provided Hamcrest matchers to type-hinted parameters:
class A {
function Foo(B $b){ }
}
class B {}
$stub = Phockito::mock('A');
$b = new B();
Phockito::when($stub)->Foo(argOfTypeThat('B', is(equalTo($b))))->return('Zap');It's also possible to pass a mock to 'when', rather than the result of a method call on a mock, e.g.
Phockito::when($mock)->methodToStub(...)->thenReturn(...). This side-steps the type system entirely.
Note that argOfTypeThat is only compatible with object type-hints; arguments with array or callable type-hints
cannot be handled in a type-safe way.
In Mockito, the 'times' argument to verify is an object of interface VerificationMode (like returned by the functions times, atLeastOnce, etc).
For now we just take either an integer, or an integer followed by '+'. It's not extensible.
In Mockito, you can return dynamic results from a stubbed method by calling thenAnswer with an instance of an object
that has a specific method. In Phockito you call thenCallback with a callback argument, which gets called with the
arguments the stubbed method was called with.
PHP has default arguments, unlike Java. If you don't specify a default argument in your stub or verify matcher, it'll match the default argument.
class Foo {
function Bar($a, $b = 2){ /* NOP */ }
}
// Create the mock
$mock = Phockito::mock('Foo');
// Set up a stub
Phockito::when($mock->Bar(1))->return('A');
$mock->Bar(1); // Returns 'A'
$mock->Bar(1, 2); // Also returns 'A'
$mock->Bar(1, 3); // Returns null, since no stubbed return value matchesMockito returns a type-compatible false, based on the declared return type. We don't have defined type values in PHP, so we always return null. TODO: Support using phpdoc @return when declared.
