# Apr 17th 2019, 15:52 facuvillard Hi, i need help
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:11 Coddyx It is :)
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:11 neon1024 Hope it’s helpful! :thumbsup:
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:11 Coddyx Thank you for your time and explanations
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:07 neon1024 This is where SOLID comes in, and the Composition over Inheritance principle, which leads into the Dependancy Injection rabbit hole!
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:07 neon1024 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
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:03 Coddyx 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
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 Coddyx $alertes = $this->getMockForModel('Alertes', ['get']); $alertes ->expects($this->once()) ->method('get') ->will($this->returnValue(false)); $this->get('/en'); $this->assertResponseCode(503);
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 Coddyx ie
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 Coddyx I also tried mocking the return value of the get method on the model
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 Coddyx WHILE we're there
# Apr 17th 2019, 15:02 Coddyx 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
# Apr 17th 2019, 14:59 Coddyx :)

# Apr 17th 2019, 14:58 neon1024 Read about the man who walks into a bar and buys a beer ;)
# Apr 17th 2019, 14:58 neon1024 There is a balance between critical path testing and testing every use-case
# Apr 17th 2019, 14:57 neon1024 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 Coddyx While you're there
# Apr 17th 2019, 14:53 Coddyx french looks not so bad :P
# Apr 17th 2019, 14:53 neon1024 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?
