public static make($class, array $params = array ( ), $testCase = null)

  • template RealInstanceType of object
  • param $class
  • param array $params - properties and methods to set
  • param bool|PHPUnitTestCase $testCase
  • throws RuntimeException when class does not exist
  • throws Exception
  • return PHPUnitMockObject&RealInstanceType - mock

Instantiates a class without executing a constructor.

Properties and methods can be set as a second parameter. Even protected and private properties can be set.

<?php
Stub::make('User');
Stub::make('User', ['name' => 'davert']);

Accepts either name of class or object of that class

<?php
Stub::make(new User, ['name' => 'davert']);

To replace method provide it’s name as a key in second parameter and it’s return value or callback function as parameter

<?php
Stub::make('User', ['save' => function () { return true; }]);
Stub::make('User', ['save' => true]);

To create a mock, pass current testcase name as last argument:

<?php
Stub::make('User', [
     'save' => \Codeception\Stub\Expected::once()
], $this);

public static factory($class, $num = 1, array $params = array ( ))

  • param mixed $class
  • param int $num
  • param array $params

  • param array $params
  • param bool|PHPUnitTestCase $testCase
  • throws Exception
  • return PHPUnitMockObject&RealInstanceType

Instantiates class having all methods replaced with dummies except one.
