Function Mocker now compatible with PHPUnit 6

A quick announcement for a quick update. PHPUnit adopted namespaces PhpUnit is now on version 6.1 and has dropped its Namespace_Less_Class_Naming_System in favor of a modern one like PHPUnit\Framework\SomeClass. That’s not nearly all of it, but the change breeaks compatibility with the function-mocker library. Having just updated it to support Patchwork new features, I did not want to let…

Function Mocker 1.2.1 out!

A much needed refresh of the “necessary evil” library. Monkey patching (thanks Patchwork) The term “monkey patching”, when applied to code, refers to: […] changing code sneakily – and possibly incompatibly with other such patches – at runtime. Source: WikiPedia. The adverbs used in the sentence above, “sneakily” and “possibly incompatibly”, can be daunting. But, exactly as mocking engines are…

Test Tools v. 0.1.0

A proof of concept test tools release. A small repository Following my latest post I’ve pushed a first version of a repository that includes the revealOrReturn function only. That’s a first version so this is good enough. Repository here and Packagist link here.

Function Mocker 1.0.2 out

New Function Mocker API is in. Flowing While I’ve not broken back-compatibility I’ve pushed the latest version of function-mocker to GitHub and, beside some general cleanup, I’ve implemented a more expressive and prophecy inspired API when it comes to mocking object methods. The object method mocking “market” is a crowded one with PhpUnit, prophecy itself, AspectMock and others I’m leaving out…

Teaching Function Mocker new tricks

Adding some power to the the mocking engine. Uneducated and powerful The function-mocker mocking engine was born out of three needs of mine: mocking functions mocking static methods easier instance method mocking, spying and setting of expectations Until now it held to this needs allowing some mocking and expectation that comes “handy” in WordPress not-so-test-friendly environment $mock_dbDelta =…

Front to Back 08

First tests on the template to meta field conversion road. Starting from the end I’ve outlined in the earlier post what the code flow should be to go from a template to Custom Meta Boxes 2 managed meta fields being shown to the user in the page administration screen. This process is a dynamic one to be carried out on each load of the page edit screen and as such the usual way to add meta boxes…

Moving on with the development of the reschedule utility. Picking from where I had left off In the last article I had left a test failing and I will add the necessary code to make it pass, the test checks for the function return value /** * @test * it should return an instance of the tad_Reschedule class */ public function it_should_return_an_instance_of_the_tad_reschedule_class() {…

Mocking filters in WordPress unit tests

Mocking filters in WordPress unit tests with Function Mocker. Mocking WordPress filters I should rather say “mocking WordPress functions” or, in the really general sense, “mocking user-land functions” but I will stick to my main context and appreciate what function-mocker can do for my WordPress unit tests right now: use tad\FunctionMocker\FunctionMocker as Test; class myTest extends…
