I've been following the general Mockery and PHP-Unit tutorials - including Jeffrey Way's introduction to testing Laravel with PHP-Unit and Mockery. However, for this app - we're fine with a dependency on Eloquent, and would rather not create a repository class.
We're able to mock instance methods of our Widget model fine. However, we're using Route:model binding and I confess I'm not exactly sure how to mock the find() method of the model when testing the show($widget) method of the controller.
I've read https://github.com/padraic/mockery/wiki#mocking-public-static-methods docs, and see that an 'alias' prefix can be placed in front of the class to be mocked. But I can't seem to get this to work either.
Here's routes.php...
Route::model('widgets', 'Widget');
Route::resource('widgets', 'WidgetController');
Here's the (shortened) controller...
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Widget Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| An example controller that uses the pre-baked RESTful resource controller
| actions for index, create, store, show, edit, update, destroy, as well as a
| delete method to show the record before deletion.
|
| See routes.php ->
| Route::resource('widget', 'WidgetController');
| Route::get('widget/{widget}/delete', 'WidgetController@delete');
|
*/
class WidgetController extends BaseController
{
/**
* Widget Model
* @var Widget
*/
protected $widget;
/**
* Inject the model.
* @param Widget $widget
*/
public function __construct(Widget $widget)
{
parent::__construct();
$this->widget = $widget;
}
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* See public function data() below for the data source for the list,
* and the view/widget/index.blade.php for the jQuery script that makes
* the Ajax request.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function index()
{
// Title
$title = Lang::get('widget/title.widget_management');
// Show the page
return View::make('widget/index', compact('title'));
}
/**
* Show a single widget details page.
*
* @return View
*/
public function show($widget)
{
// Title
$title = Lang::get('widget/title.widget_show');
// Show the page
return View::make('widget/show', compact('widget', 'title'));
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function create()
{
// Title
$title = Lang::get('widget/title.create_a_new_widget');
// Show the page
return View::make('widget/create', compact('title'));
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function store()
{
// Validate the inputs
$rules = array(
'name'=> 'required|alpha_dash|unique:widgets,name',
'description'=> 'required'
);
// Validate the inputs
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
// Check if the form validates with success
if ($validator->passes()) {
// Get the inputs, with some exceptions
$inputs = Input::except('csrf_token');
$this->widget->name = $inputs['name'];
$this->widget->description = $inputs['description'];
$this->widget->save($rules);
if ($this->widget->id) {
// Redirect to the new widget page
return Redirect::to('widgets')->with('success', Lang::get('widget/messages.create.success'));
} else {
// Redirect to the widget create page
//var_dump($this->widget);
return Redirect::to('widgets/create')->with('error', Lang::get('widget/messages.create.error'));
}
} else {
// Form validation failed
return Redirect::to('widgets/create')->withInput()->withErrors($validator);
}
}
}
And here's the test fixture.
# /app/tests/controllers/WidgetControllerTest.php
class WidgetControllerTest extends TestCase
{
public function __Construct()
{
$this->mock = Mockery::mock('Eloquent', 'Widget');
}
public function setUp()
{
parent::setUp();
$this->app->instance('Widget', $this->mock);
}
public function tearDown()
{
Mockery::close();
}
/**
* Index
*/
public function testIndex()
{
$this->call('GET', 'widgets');
$this->assertTrue($this->client->getResponse()->isOk());
$this->assertViewHas('title');
}
/**
* Show
*/
public function testShow()
{
//$this->mock->shouldReceive('find')->with(1)->once()->andReturn(array('id'=>1));
$this->mock
->shouldReceive('find')
->once()
->andSet('id', 1);
//$this->call('GET', 'widgets/1');
$this->action('GET', 'WidgetController@show', array(
'widgets' => 1
));
$this->assertTrue($this->client->getResponse()->isOk());
}
/**
* Create
*/
public function testCreate()
{
$crawler = $this->client->request('GET', 'widgets/create');
$this->assertTrue($this->client->getResponse()->isOk());
$this->assertViewHas('title');
$this->assertCount(1, $crawler->filter('h3:contains("Create a New Widget")'));
}
/**
* Store Success
*/
public function testStoreSuccess()
{
$this->mock
->shouldReceive('save')
->once()
->andSet('id', 1);
$this->call('POST', 'widgets', array(
'name' => 'Fu-Widget',
'description' => 'Widget description'
));
$this->assertRedirectedToRoute('widgets.index');
}
/**
* Store Fail
*/
public function testStoreFail()
{
$this->call('POST', 'widgets', array(
'name' => '',
'description' => ''
));
$this->assertRedirectedToRoute('widgets.create');
$this->assertSessionHasErrors(['name']);
}
}
There error on the testShow method is: Call to undefined method Widget::find()
Thoughts?
