README

This package helps to make a mockups for unit-testing in PHP v5.4 - 8.x

Source https://github.com/webxid/PHPUnitSandbox

Install

PHPUnitSandbox does not require any special installation.

Requirements

• PHP v5.4 or later,
• PHPUnitSandbox has to be includes directly (no autoloaders supports, including Composer),
• PHP config has to support functions exec() and eval().

Installation steps

1. Run composer require webxid/phpunitsandbox
2. Register additional autoloaders, if you have any one

UnitSandbox::init([
        __DIR__ . '/../autoloader_1.php', // it has to be absolute route of autoloader file, and it has to be .php file
        ...
        __DIR__ . '/../autoloader_n.php',
    ])
    ->registerAutoloader();

!!! Important !!! to make sandbox works correctly, the all autoloaders have to be register via UnitSandbox, otherwise you get failed. Also, please, check ./bootstrap.php

How To Use

This lib works as sandbox:

• First, you setup a mock up of a class and of the class methods.
• Then, you call UnitSandbox::execute(function() {}); and pass mocked class using inside the function() {}.

Example

// Setup a mock up of a class `DB` and of the static method `DB::query()`
UnitSandbox::mockClass('DB')
    ->mockStaticMethod('query', UnitSandbox::SELF_INSTANCE); //return self instance

// Then call the mocked method inside sandbox
$result = UnitSandbox::execute(function () {
    return \DB::query();
});

Code examples

Mock up a static method and an object method

UnitSandbox::mockClass('DB')
    ->mockStaticMethod('query', UnitSandbox::SELF_INSTANCE) // returns self instance
    ->mockMethod('execute', [1,2,3]); // returns array(1,2,3)

Mocked classes are working inside another classes too

// This class should be able by autoloader
class TestClass
{
    public static function init()
    {
        return DB::query() // the usage of the mocked class
            ->execute();
    }
}

// Get result of TestClass::init();
$result = UnitSandbox::execute(function () {
    return \TestClass::init();
});

echo json_encode($result); // returns `[1,2,3]` 

Spy class

Spy class uses to mock up a part of a class.

1. We need a TestClass for example:

class TestClass
{
    private static $my_property = 'Hello world!';

    public static function getProperty()
    {
        return static::$my_property;
    }
}

1. Let's rewrite private property of class TestClass;

UnitSandbox::spyClass('\TestClass')
    ->defineStaticProperty('my_property', 'value');

$result_private_property = UnitSandbox::execute(function () {
    return \Spy\TestClass::getProperty();
});

echo $result_private_property; // it'll prints `value` instead `Hello world!`

*Please, see all examples in ./tests/ExampleUnitTest.php *

Issues

To see errors, occurred inside sandbox, needs to set up debug mode:

UnitSandbox::init()
   ->debugMode(true, false);
