Hello guys, i got a question when i was unit testing my application. I Have a method that require a dependency but only that method need it so i thought to don't inject it by construct but initialize it with App::make() of the IoC container Class. But now how can i unit test that?
Let's say a short example for understand how you unit testing this function of example
class Example {
public function methodToTest()
{
$dependency = App::make('Dependency');
return $dependency->method('toTest');
}
}
public function test_MethodToTest() {
$dependency = m::mock('Dependency');
$dependency->shouldReceive('method')->once()->with('toTest')->andReturn(true);
$class = new Example();
$this->assertTrue($class->methodToTest('toTest')); // does not work
}
Any suggest are really appreciate.
Try ...
public function test_MethodToTest() {
$dependency = m::mock();
$dependency->shouldReceive('method')->once()->with('toTest')->andReturn(true);
App::instance('Dependancy', $dependancy);
$class = new Example();
$this->assertTrue($class->methodToTest()); // should work
}
