No doubt that Mockery is one of powerful mock tool for unit testing in PHP. In this post, I will share about how to use Mockery on Codeception.
Note: I assume that you already had Codeception installed and bootstrapped. :)
1) Install Mockery Module
Fortunately, there is already someone who created it, https://github.com/Codeception/MockeryModule. We can put this module on our composer.json file.
[php] "codeception/mockery-module": "*" [/php]
and then run composer update.
2) Prepare Class to Test
I have one prepared class for testing called src/Husband.php. Here is the source.
[php] <?php
class Husband { public function __construct(Wife $wife) { $this->wife = $wife; }
public function needKiss() { $isFrenchKiss = $this->wife->kiss();
if ($isFrenchKiss) { return 'very happy'; } else { return 'just so so'; } } } [/php]
3) Create a Test File
We will use codeception command to generate a unit test for Husband class.
[php] vendor/bin/codecept generate:test unit Husband [/php]
It will generate a test file in tests/unit/HusbandTest.php
4) Include Autoload from Vendor
Because we install Mockery from composer, we need to tell the Codeception by including composer's vendor folder. Go to tests/_bootstrap.php and add this code below
[php] require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; [/php]
5) Add Mockery Module
Add mockery module on tests/unit.suite.yml. So, it will become
[php] # Codeception Test Suite Configuration
# suite for unit (internal) tests. class_name: UnitTester modules: enabled: [Asserts, UnitHelper, Mockery] [/php]
6) Let's Try to Mock
On tests/unit/HusbandTest.php, we will create a test for checking the husband happiness depends on wife's kiss. The final file will be like below.
[php] <?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../src/Husband.php'; use Mockery as m;
class HusbandTest extends \Codeception\TestCase\Test { /** * @var \UnitTester */ protected $tester; public function testNeedKissIsFrenchKiss() { $wife = m::mock('Wife'); $wife->shouldReceive('kiss')->once()->andReturn(true);
$husband = new Husband($wife); $kissResult = $husband->needKiss();
$this->assertEquals('very happy', $kissResult); } } [/php]
We include the Husband source file and mockery at top of file
[php] require_once __DIR__ . '/../../src/Husband.php'; use Mockery as m; [/php]
then we will create mock of Wife class for method kiss(). Let's say we want to test if the kiss is french kiss.
[php] $wife = m::mock('Wife'); $wife->shouldReceive('kiss')->once()->andReturn(true); [/php]
We inject our wife mock object to the Husband constructor.
[php] $husband = new Husband($wife); [/php]
Call the needKiss() method then assert the result.
7) Run the test
Run the test using codeception command
[php] vendor/bin/codecept run unit [/php]
You should have a successfully test.
Summary
In this post, we learn to use Mockery on Codeception. First, we install the Mockery module, create source and test file then use Mockery inside test file. Mockery can be integrated easily with Codeception. It will make your unit testing process easier than before.
