Answer 1

Apparently, I was wrong. This does work. It does help to have it in the right test.

$mockInput = Mockery::mock('\Illuminate\Http\Request');
$mockInput->shouldReceive('file')->andReturn($my_test_data);
Input::swap($mockInput);

Also, I created an UploadedFile object and andReturned it:

$media = new \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile(
     $path,
     'orig_name_1.jpg'
);
$my_test_data = [0 => $media];
