[Simpletest-support] "Mocking" internally called functions/classes

[Kyohere L. <pr...@gm...>]

Hi,

here's the scenario:

I'm trying to test Class_A::Method_B(..). Method_B internally calls
Class_C::Method_D() - which takes a long time, and is accessed from the
global/autoload mechanism of the application. I'd like to skip this call,
since it's irrelevant to my tests.

Aside from re-designing my class/method to read in Class_C as one of it's
arguments, or else creating a dummy Class_C, and loading it before the real
one is loaded, is there a way to achieve this with Mocks?

Secondly, is there a way to prevent the class I'm trying to test from
calling such mundane php functions like file_exists(), etc? Because in such
a case, I have to design my test to create/delete files from the file system
and so on.

Thanks!

Luke
