Test Mocking
The Cache
package provide a PHPUnit helper to mock a Cache\Cache
object or an Cache\Item
object. You can include your own optional overrides in the test class for the following methods:
Cache\Cache::get
: Add a method calledmockCacheGet
to your test class. If omitted, the helper will return a default mock for theCache\Item
class.Cache\Item::getValue
: Add a method calledmockCacheItemGetValue
to your test class. If omitted, the mockCache\Item
will return"value"
when this method is called.Cache\Item::isHit
: Add a method calledmockCacheItemIsHit
to your test class. If omitted, the mockCache\Item
will returnfalse
when this method is called.
use Joomla\Cache\Tests\Mocker as CacheMocker;
class FactoryTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
private $instance;
//
// The following mocking methods are optional.
//
/**
* Callback to mock the Cache\Item::getValue method.
*
* @return string
*/
public function mockCacheItemGetValue()
{
// This is the default handling.
// You can override this method to provide a custom return value.
return 'value';
}
/**
* Callback to mock the Cache\Item::isHit method.
*
* @return boolean
*/
public function mockCacheItemIsHit()
{
// This is the default handling.
// You can override this method to provide a custom return value.
return false;
}
/**
* Callback to mock the Cache\Cache::get method.
*
* @param string $text The input text.
*
* @return string
*/
public function mockCacheGet($key)
{
// This is the default handling.
// You can override this method to provide a custom return value.
return $this->createMockItem();
}
