I'm trying to test a static method on a class, but it relies on a static array property that doesn't get reset between tests, so I though I could create a mock class & test against that.
The only problem is that the mock class static method is not returning the value as the original static method does.
Here's my class...
class Thing {
static public function doThing() {
return 'yeah!';
}
}
... and here's be test class...
class ThingTest {
public function testDoSomething() {
$mock_class = $this->getMockClass('Thing');
$this->assertEqual('yeah!', $mock_class::doThing())
}
}
This test fails with the message "Failed asserting that null matches expected 'yeah!'."
What am I missing here? I thought not specifying the methods on the getMock() call meant that the original methods carried over, but clearly not. :o(
Any pointers would be great. Thanks.
Edit
I typed this up from memory, rather than from copying code, as I'd made further change to try to resolve this. After writing more tests for mock objects I realised that if you pass array() as the second parameter ($methods) to getMock[Class] then it stubbed out all the methods, & I believe this is what I had actually done. I was doing this, as I also wanted to pass the constructor parameter in the 3rd argument. The code probably looked more like this...
class ThingTest {
public function testDoSomething() {
$mock_class = $this->getMockClass(
'Thing',
array(),
array( 'something' )
);
$this->assertEqual('yeah!', $mock_class::doThing())
}
}
