Laradev Test Support
====================

[](#laradev-test-support)

This package provides helpers and utilities to facilitate testing of Laradev packages.

Install
-------

[](#install)

`composer require --dev laradev/test-support`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Create a test case

[](#create-a-test-case)

Simply extend the class `Laradev\Test\Support\TestCase`.

```
namespace Example

use Laradev\Test\Support\TestCase;

final class ExampleClassTest extends TestCase
{
    /** implement abstract methods **/
}
```

Utilities
---------

[](#utilities)

The `TestCase` embeds a bunch of utilities in the form of traits.
Even if they can be used independently, it is more reliable to extends the `TestCase` class.

### Assertions

[](#assertions)

The `Assertions` trait enhances the `TestCase` class with new assertions directly accessible to `$this`.

- `assertIsSubclassOf(string $expectedParent, string $actual, string $message = '')`: asserts that the actual class is a sub class of a given one.
- `assertBootMergesConfigForProvider(string $providerClass, string $configfile, string $message = '')`: asserts that the `boot` method of a given service provider instance merges the configuration of its package with the main application one.
- `assertBootPublishesConfigForProvider(string $providerClass, string $configfile, string $message = '')`: asserts that the `boot` method of a given service provider instance publishes the configuration file to the application configuration path.

### MockProvider

[](#mockprovider)

The `MockProvider` trait offers a set of factory methods to facilitate the creation of mocks of the main classes of [Laravel](https://laravel.com/).

#### Factory methods

[](#factory-methods)

- `newMock($whatToMock = null)`: returns an instance of `$whatToMock` or of `Mockery\MockInterface` if the argument value is *null*.
- `newAppMock()`: returns an instance of `Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application`.
- `newConfigMock()`: returns an instance of `Illuminate\Contracts\Config\Repository`.
- `newFunctionMock(string $functionName)`: should be used to create a mock of a function, it returns an instance of `Mockery\CompositeExpectation`.
- `newAppContainerWithConfigMock()`: returns an instance of `Illuminate\Contracts\Container\Container` containing a config mock instance that is accessible using the key `config`.

As the mock engine behind the scene is [Mockery](http://docs.mockery.io/en/stable/), all these instances implement the `Mockery\MockInterface` or `Mockery\ExpectationInterface` and then can be enhanced with expectations.

#### Other methods

[](#other-methods)

- `releaseMocks()`: releases all the mocks, does some cleanup.
- `useFunction(string $functionName, ...$args)`: static method to call as the body of a mocked function *(see [MockProviderTest](/tests/unit/Traits/MockProviderTest.php)::testMockingFunctions() for an example on how to do this)*.

> Note:
> While extending the `TestCase` abstract class, the `releaseMocks` method is automatically called at the end of each test in the `tearDown` method.
> If you intend to use the `MockProvider` trait directly, it is important to note that you will need to call the `releaseMocks` method by yourself.
