Mock static methods
===================

[](#mock-static-methods)

...and a bit more ;)

Goals
=====

[](#goals)

- easy mocking
- make any changes revertible
- revert changes automatically

Targets
=======

[](#targets)

There are several classes that will do the work:

- For class methods:
    - `MockedClassMethod` to mock any class with closure
    - `UndefinedClassMethod` to make method disappear
- For class constants:
    - `MockedClassConstant`
    - `UndefinedClassConstant`
- For global constants:
    - `MockedGlobalConstant`
    - `UndefinedGlobalConstant`
- For functions (global or Namespaced):
    - `MockedFunction`
    - `UndefinedFunction`

Install
=======

[](#install)

```
composer require --dev qratorlabs/smocky
```

### Note

[](#note)

There is a workaround that ensures that any (defined) children of class, which method is mocking, have its own method, defined by user or mocked (by Smocky - closure that calls parent).

Example for code that will fail without this workaround following code will end up with `Segmentation fault: 11`

```
class Base
{
    public static function methodName()
    {
        return 'something';
    }
}

class Child extends Base
{

}

// simulating PHPUnit test case
(new class('test') extends \PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase {

    public function test(): void
    {
        // child should instanced (or loaded any other way)
        $child = new Child();
        // mocking method of base class
        $method = new MockedClassMethod(Base::class, 'methodName');
        // at least one call should be made
        Base::methodName();
    }
})->run();
```

Trivia
======

[](#trivia)

Revertible changes
------------------

[](#revertible-changes)

All changes are made revertible by using internal storage and `__destruct` methods.

Drawbacks
---------

[](#drawbacks)

Thing to keep in mind before using:

- Mocking anything will hit memory consumption (ex. to preserve changes)
- Mocking methods will hit performance (a bit)
- To mock static class we must check (and mock) children of mocking class
