Mocking a call with chained methods and arguments

问题

Im learning how to use mockery in order to run some unit test and Im not sure what to do to mock my database class. It consists of separate methods that can be chained like these two examples:

$db->select('someTblName',['fieldName'])
   ->where('fieldName', 'someValue')
   ->runQuery()
   ->fetch(); //returns array or null

Another use could be like:

$db->select('someTblName')
   ->where('fieldName', 'someValue')
   ->where('fieldName', array('>=' , 'someValue')
   ->runQuery()
   ->fetch(); //returns array or null

From reading some of the documentation I see that I can do something like:(for the first case)

$db = \Mockery::mock('Database');
$db->shouldReceive('select', 'where', 'runQuery', 'fetcth')
    ->with(??????)
    ->andReturn(null);

Now Im interested on how to pass the "corresponting" parameters to the methods? And, how would I mock the second scenario.

回答1:

You can do shouldReceive('select->where->runQuery->fetch') if you do not care about the arguments. If you do want to check the arguments, you have to do the following to chain expectations:

$db->shouldReceive('select')->with('someTblName', ['fieldName'])
    ->once()->andReturn(m::self())->getMock()
    ->shouldReceive('where')...

The last shouldReceive would be shouldReceive('fetch')->andReturn(null).

If you are happy with a syntax like this

$db = m::stub('Database', array(
   'select(someTblName)->where(fieldName,someValue)->runQuery->fetch' => 'return stuff',
   'select(someOtherTblName)->where(...)->runQuery->fetch' => 'return other stuff'

));

you can use a small Mockery helper/extension I've just written

alpha version, I'll probably improve it soon
