Mock PHP built-in functions with Mockery
========================================

[](#mock-php-built-in-functions-with-mockery)

This package integrates the function mock library [PHP-Mock](https://github.com/php-mock/php-mock) with Mockery.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

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

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

[`PHPMockery::mock()`](http://php-mock.github.io/php-mock-mockery/api/class-phpmock.mockery.PHPMockery.html#_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

[](#example)

```
namespace foo;

use phpmock\mockery\PHPMockery;

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

\Mockery::close();
```

### Restrictions

[](#restrictions)

This library comes with the same restrictions as the underlying [`php-mock`](https://github.com/php-mock/php-mock#requirements-and-restrictions):

- 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](https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68541). In most cases you can ignore this restriction. But if you happen to run into this issue you can call [`PHPMockery::define()`](http://php-mock.github.io/php-mock-mockery/api/class-phpmock.mockery.PHPMockery.html#_define)before that first call. This would define a side effectless namespaced function.
