PHPUnit Service Create Trait
============================

[](#phpunit-service-create-trait)

A helper trait for PHPUnit 10+ for easier creation of services with dependencies in unit testing

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

[](#installation)

Simply run

```
composer require --dev pkly/phpunit-service-create-trait

```

Currently compatible only with PHPUnit 10 (11?)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In any of your PHPUnit test cases simply

```
class MyTestCase extends \PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase {
    use \Pkly\ServiceMockHelperTrait;

    private AnyClass $service;

    public function setUp(): void {
        $this->service = $this->createRealMockedServiceInstance(AnyClass::class);
    }

    public function testSomething(): void
    {
        $mock = $this->createMock(MyEntity::class);

        $this->getMockedService(EntityManagerInterface::class)
            ->expects($this->once())
            ->method('delete')
            ->with($mock);

        $this->service->deleteSomething($mock);
    }
}
```

Any dependencies in the constructor as well as methods marked with Symfony's `#[Required]` attribute will be automatically plugged in with mocks. This allows you to write complex tests without wasting time updating your construct calls each time you modify something.

### Okay, but what if I need to use something custom?

[](#okay-but-what-if-i-need-to-use-something-custom)

Simply assign the proper parameter name in either `$constructor` or `$required` in the appropriate methods. That will use your object instead of creating one for you, keep in mind you cannot retrieve it via `$this->getMockedService()`.

### Partial objects?

[](#partial-objects)

Sure, works the same, just use `createRealPartialMockedServiceInstance` instead of `createRealMockedServiceInstance`, in that case you must also specify the methods to override in your mock. Returned instance is `T&MockObject`.

### Tests? More examples?

[](#tests-more-examples)

I'll add them shortly, for now this code is being used thoroughly in a few of the projects I work at and I grew tired of updating it across multiple repositories. It's also very simple, so I doubt anyone is going to complain.

### Feature requests?

[](#feature-requests)

Sure, hit me up with an issue if you wish.
