Test Double

First add the following use statement in the top of your specs to be able to create test doubles:

use Kahlan\Plugin\Double;

Instance Double

When you are testing an application, sometimes you need a simple, polyvalent instance for receiving a couple of calls. Double::instance() can create such polyvalent instance:

it("makes a instance double", function() {
    $double = Double::instance();

    expect(is_object($double))->toBe(true);
    expect($double->something())->toBe(null);
});

There are also a couple of options for creating some stubs which inherit a class, implement interfaces or use traits.

Examples using 'extends':

it("makes a instance double with a parent class", function() {
    $double = Double::instance(['extends' => 'Kahlan\Util\Text']);

    expect(is_object($double))->toBe(true);
    expect(get_parent_class($double))->toBe('Kahlan\Util\Text');
});

Tip: If you extend an abstract class, all missing methods will be automatically added to your stub.

Note: If the 'extends' option is used, magic methods won't be included, so as to avoid any conflict between your tested classes and the magic methods.

However, if you still want to include magic methods with the 'extends' option, you can manually set the 'magicMethods' option to true:

it("makes a instance double with a parent class and keeps magic methods", function() {
    $double = Double::instance([
        'extends'      => 'Kahlan\Util\Text',
        'magicMethods' => true
    ]);

    expect($double)->toReceive('__get')->ordered;
    expect($double)->toReceive('__set')->ordered;
    expect($double)->toReceive('__isset')->ordered;
    expect($double)->toReceive('__unset')->ordered;
    expect($double)->toReceive('__sleep')->ordered;
    expect($double)->toReceive('__toString')->ordered;
    expect($double)->toReceive('__invoke')->ordered;
    expect(get_class($double))->toReceive('__wakeup')->ordered;
    expect(get_class($double))->toReceiveNext('__clone')->ordered;

    $prop = $double->prop;
    $double->prop = $prop;
    isset($double->prop);
    unset($double->prop);
    $serialized = serialize($double);
    $string = (string) $double;
    $double();
    unserialize($serialized);
    $double2 = clone $double;
});

And it's also possible to extends built-in PHP classes.

it("makes a instance double of a PHP core class", function() {
    $redis = Double::instance(['extends' => 'Redis']);
    allow($redis)->toReceive('connect')->andReturn(true);

    expect($redis->connect('127.0.0.1'))->toBe(true);
});

If you need your stub to implement a couple of interfaces you can use the 'implements' option like so:

it("makes a instance double implementing some interfaces", function() {
    $double = Double::instance(['implements' => ['ArrayAccess', 'Iterator']]);
    $interfaces = class_implements($double);

    expect($interfaces)->toHaveLength(3);
    expect(isset($interfaces['ArrayAccess']))->toBe(true);
    expect(isset($interfaces['Iterator']))->toBe(true);
    expect(isset($interfaces['Traversable']))->toBe(true); //Comes with `'Iterator'`
});

And if you need your stub to implement a couple of traits you can use the 'uses' option like so:

it("makes a instance double using a trait", function() {
    $double = Double::instance(['uses' => 'spec\mock\plugin\stub\HelloTrait']);

    expect($double->hello())->toBe('Hello World From Trait!');
});

Note: Generated stubs implements by default __call(), __callStatic(),__get(), __set() and some other magic methods for a maximum of polyvalence.

So allow() on stubs can be applied on any method name. Under the hood __call() will catch everything. You should pay attention that method_exists won't work on this "virtual method stubs". To make it works, you will need to add the necessary "endpoint(s)" using the 'methods' option like in the following example:

it("adds a custom endpoint", function() {
    $double = Double::instance(['methods' => ['myMethod']]);

    expect(method_exists($double, 'myMethod'))->toBe(true);
});

Class Double

You can also create class double names (i.e a string) using Double::classname():

it("makes a class double", function() {
    $class = Double::classname();
    expect(is_string($class))->toBe(true);

    $double = new $class()
    expect($double)->toBeAnInstanceOf($class);
});
