This is where SOLID comes in, and the Composition over Inheritance principle, which leads into the Dependancy Injection rabbit hole! |

When creating a mock for a class, you can only mock the return of a method in that class |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:06 |
neon1024 |
Yes |

Is this because I can't mock a return value of a function not directly called by the test? |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:03 |
Coddyx |
But whatever I put in $this->returnValue the test always failed |
| # |

Coddyx |
$alertes = $this->getMockForModel('Alertes', ['get']); $alertes ->expects($this->once()) ->method('get') ->will($this->returnValue(false)); $this->get('/en'); $this->assertResponseCode(503); |

Coddyx |
ie |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 |
Coddyx |
I also tried mocking the return value of the get method on the model |

and |

Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 |
Coddyx |
ok |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:01 |
neon1024 |
It’d probably be the least amount of work |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:00 |
Coddyx |
To switch the value for true and false |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:00 |
Coddyx |
You suggest I hit the db before the true and false test for miantenance mode? |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:00 |
Coddyx |
So for my specific test case |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 15:00 |
Coddyx |
I understand |

There is a balance between critical path testing and testing every use-case |
| # |

The npath complexity of a method would give you a guide on how many test-cases might be there |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:57 |
neon1024 |
No, I wouldn’t rely on it. It is a nice guide to see which test-cases you might have missed |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:56 |
Coddyx |
and you rely on code coverage to assert everything passes by where it should? |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:55 |
neon1024 |
You only test your public api |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:55 |
neon1024 |
Either your code or your tests, that is |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:55 |
neon1024 |
It’s a code smell. Usually means you need to refactor |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:54 |
neon1024 |
It is |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:54 |
Coddyx |
What is your opinion on that |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:54 |
Coddyx |
directly |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:54 |
Coddyx |
I've read that's it is considered a bad practice to test a private method |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:54 |

While you're there |

french looks not so bad :P |

Désolé je ne parle pas français parce que je suis britannique |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:52 |
neon1024 |
I wouldn’t ever do that. I’d add more data to the fixture and then select the correct data in the test-case |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:52 |
Coddyx |
actually, do you speak french? i just saw you're from strasbourg |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:51 |
Coddyx |
Is there a way to inject a value in fixture for a specific test? |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:50 |
Coddyx |
But |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:50 |
Coddyx |
I'll try it |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:49 |
Coddyx |
that I could |
| # |
Apr 17th 2019, 14:48 |
neon1024 |
I guess you could do a write to the test db at the start of the test-case? |
