Re: [Simpletest-support] SimpleTest PartialMock of abstract classes

[T.J.Hunt <T.J...@op...>]

Why do you need mocks? can't you just manually define a test-specific subclass:

class SubclassOfAForTesting extends A {
  public function methodToBeRedifined($id) {
  }
}

then test the method your are interested on an instance of that?

Subject: [Simpletest-support] SimpleTest PartialMock of abstract classes
 
Hello,

I'd like to test an abstract class (actually one of the non abstracted
method in the class). I need to manipulate a PartialMock of this class
but PHP type checker is not my friend:
- With my very first attempt, I didn't mocked the abstract methods so
I got a fatal error because my partial mock didn't defined the
abstract methods
- So I mocked the abstract methods but now PHP claims that the mocked
abstract methods signature doesn't match the parent's one...

How can I solve that ?

Here is a code sample:

abstract class A {

  public function methodToTest() {
      $f = $this->getFactory();
      ....
  }

  public function getFactory() {
      ....
  }

  abstract public function methodToBeRedifined($id);
}

Mock::generateParital('A', 'ATestVersion', array('getFactory',
'methodToBeRedifined');

class AUnitTest extends UnitTestCase {
       function testMethodToTest() {
          $f = newMockFactory($this);
          $a = new ATestVersion($this);
          $a->setReturnValue($f);
          ....
       }
}



Best regards,
Manuel
