Question

I’ve test method that only validate if a mock method is called twice.
When it fail, I would like to provide the user with an error message.

How can I do so ?

Code sample:

public function testUpdate()
{
    $emMock = $this->mockEntityManager(
        array('persist', 'flush'),
        array('name')
    );
    $srv = new Service($emMock);

    $entity = $srv->create();

    $emMock
        ->expects($this->exactly(2))
        ->method('persist');
    $emMock
        ->expects($this->exactly(3)) //Should give an error message
        ->method('flush');

    $srv->update($entity);
}

Answer 1

Throw an exception when failure

$emMock->expects($this->exactly(3))
       ->method('persist')
       ->will($this->throwException(new Exception('Called too many times.')));
