note 110344 added to functions.anonymous

While PHPUnit's mocking framework did a pretty good job at keeping a compact API (more or less) there are times where a mocked return value would be better handled as a test class property. <?php $this->mock = $this->getMock('StdClass'); $_ = $this; $this->mock->expects($this->once()) ->method('getProperty') ->will($this->returnCallback(function() use($_) { return $_->property; })); $this->property = '12345'; $this->assertEquals('12345', $this->mock->getProperty()); // OK (1 Test, 2 Assertions) ?> BUT: [[ Just remember the law of demeter, if your mock object is really behaving as _just_ a parameter, you should probably refactor your SUT to just take another parameter instead of giving it a completely unnecessary dependency. ]] ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 74.93.186.249 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110344 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110344 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110344 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
