Forum [Unit testing] Mocking call to Cookie::get()

posted 11 years ago

Hello! Does anyone knows if there is a chance to somehow mock call to Cookie::get() method ? I know it's facade and there is shouldReceive() method, but this method does not belong to CookieJar, but to Facade itself and it's a static method. Or maybe there is a way to call request like $this->call() and pass some parameter which would create a cookie ?

You can't. Cookie::get() dispatches to Request::cookie, and per the docs Request isn't to be mocked. The way I've used is:

public function test_something() {
    $this->client->getCookieJar()->set(
        new \Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Cookie('foo', 'bar')
    );

    $this->call('GET', '/a/route');
    $this->assertSame('bar', \Cookie::get('foo'));
}
