Question

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is a bug with PHPUnit and mock objects. Basically I am trying to test if $Model->doSomething() is called when $Model->start() is triggered.

I am using Ubuntu in a VirtualBox, and phpunit 1.1.1 installed via pear.

The full code is below. Any help would be appreciated, it’s driving me crazy.

<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Autoload.php';

class Model
{
    function doSomething( ) {
        echo 'Hello World';
    }

    function doNothing( ) { }

    function start( ) {
        $this->doNothing();
        $this->doSomething();
    }
}

class ModelTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    function testDoSomething( )
    {
        $Model = $this->getMock('Model');
        $Model->expects($this->once())->method('start'); # This works
        $Model->expects($this->once())->method('doSomething'); # This does not work
        $Model->start();
    }
}
?>

The output from PHPUnit:

There was 1 failure:

1) ModelTest::testDoSomething
Expectation failed for method name is equal to <string:doSomething> when invoked 1 time(s).
Method was expected to be called 1 times, actually called 0 times.


FAILURES!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 1, Failures: 1.

As you found, you need to tell PHPUnit which methods to mock. Also, I would avoid creating expectations for methods that you are calling directly from the test. I would write the above test like this:

function testDoSomething( )
{
    $Model = $this->getMock('Model', array('doSomething');
    $Model->expects($this->once())->method('doSomething');
    $Model->start();
}
