pt\_mock
--------

[](#pt_mock)

This class works with PHP >= 5.3.6. In order to run the tests, phpunit is required.

This class provides a way to mock objects when testing. Makes it simple to simulate method calls returning data based on parameters. Can raise exceptions instead of return data.

Source in \[[https://github.com/gramos74/pt\_mock](https://github.com/gramos74/pt_mock)\]

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

We have a method class that receives a object as parameter. Inside this method we will call the object method 'method\_mock' with parameter 'a' and we expect that it returns 'b'.

```
    class class_a {

        function my_method(class_b) {
            return class_b->method_mock('a');
        }

    }

    $class_b = new \Pt\Mock('Class B');
    $class_b->expects('method_mock')->with('a')->returns('b');

    $class_a = new class_a();
    echo $class_a->my_method($class_b);  // ----> 'b'
```

To check that all expectations have been accomplished :

```
$class_b->verify();     // for a instance of pt_mock
\Pt\Mock::verifyAll();  // for all mocks instantiated

```

If you want to test that the method is called two times:

```
    $class_b->expects('method_mock')->with('a')->times(2)->returns('b');
```

Sometimes you don't want to test if a method is called, you only want that if a method is called the mock object returns a value based on parameters.

```
    $class_b->stubs('method_mock')->with('a')->returns('b');

    echo $class_b->method_mock('a') ---> 'b'
    echo $class_b->method_mock('a') ---> 'b'
    echo $class_b->method_mock('a') ---> 'b'
    echo $class_b->method_mock('a') ---> 'b'
```

And sometimes you want to raise a exception instead of to return data.

```
$class_b->stubs('method_mock')->with('a')->raises(new Exception());

echo $class_b->method_mock('a') ---> raises a exception

```
