PHPUnit “Mocked method does not exist.” when using $mock->expects($this->at(…))

Question

I\'ve run into a strange issue with PHPUnit mock objects. I have a method that should be called twice, so I\'m using the \"at\" matcher. This works for the first time the method

Answer 1

FYI, Not sure if its related, but I encountered the same thing, but not with the $this->at() method, for me it was the $this->never() method.

This raised the error

$mock->expects($this->never())
    ->method('exists')
    ->with('arg');

This fixed the error

$mock->expects($this->never())
    ->method('exists');  

It did the same thing when using the $this->exactly(0) method.

Hope this help someone.
