Prophesizer
-----------

[](#prophesizer)

Generates a [Prophecy](https://github.com/phpspec/prophecy)[Dummy](https://github.com/phpspec/prophecy#dummies) for class/interface you want to prophesize

Prophesizer inspects `@docComment` blocks in your code and creates method prophecies according to specified `@return`, `@throws` and `@param` docTags

`@return` and `@throws` samples generated in `->will(){...}` closure

`@param int $id` used to check parameters with `Argument::type('int')` etc.

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
public function someUnitTest()
{
    $service = $this->prophesize('Service\SomeService'); ///
}

```

Press `Ctrl+S` and line with `///` will be transformed into

```
public function someUnitTest()
{
    // $service = $this->prophesize('Service\SomeService');
    $service = $this->getSomeServiceDouble(); // todo: edit predictions!
}

```

```
/**
 * @return \Service\SomeService
 */
private function getSomeServiceDouble()
{
    $someServiceProphecy = $this->prophesize('Service\SomeService');

    /** @noinspection PhpUndefinedMethodInspection */
    $someServiceProphecy
        ->createSomething(
            Argument::type('int'),
            Argument::type('string'),
            Argument::allOf(Argument::type('DateTime'), Argument::type('null'))
        )
        ->will(function (array $args) {
            // todo: modify generated method double
            // throw new \SomeService\Exception('Thrown in SomeService::createSomething()');
            // return 999;
        })
        ->shouldBeCalled();
        //->shouldNotBeCalled();

    return $someServiceProphecy->reveal();
}

```
