How can I specify Partial Mockup for a Laravel Facade?

[newtonianb]

First I tried this

$mock = m::mock('Cartalyst\Sentry\Facades\Laravel\Sentry');
$mock->shouldReceive('getUser')->once()->andReturn($userInst);

But it gave me

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Mockery_1964315998_Cartalyst_Sentry_Facades_Laravel_Sentry::shouldReceive()

So then I found out the Laravel Facades already implement Mockery so I tried directly on the facade.

Sentry::shouldReceive('getUser')->once()->andReturn($userInst);

But now the problem is it's not finding the other functions for that objects essentially I need the behavior of a partial mockup here but I don't see how do tell it.

BadMethodCallException: Method Mockery_2115409749_Cartalyst_Sentry_Sentry::check() does not exist on this mock object

This is what I need

A traditional partial mock defined ahead of time which methods of a class are to be mocked and which are to left unmocked (i.e. callable as normal). The syntax for creating traditional mocks is:

$mock = \Mockery::mock('MyClass[foo,bar]');
In the above example, the foo() and bar() methods of MyClass will be mocked but no other MyClass methods are touched. You will need to define expectations for the foo() and bar() methods to dictate their mocked behaviour.

👍 Since the last PR got merged, I've had the exact same problem with Laravel methods not being mocked.

With Sentry::shouldReceive('getUser')->once()->andReturn($userInst); code you're not creating a partial mock, but a full one. Please take a look at: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/master/src/Illuminate/Support/Facades/Facade.php
This way if you're not setting expectations on every method to be called, then it won't work.

Also Mockery_2115409749_Cartalyst_Sentry_Sentry mocked class name suggests, that you're not using latest dev-master version, because mock naming logic has changed there.

Please try updating to latest dev Mockery version and tell what happened.

@newtonianb as @aik099 suggested, if you want a partial mock, you need to tell mockery. Runtime mocks are usually suffice and should be easier for you. I'm not 100% sure (I don't use Laravel), but I think once you've called shouldReceive, you should be able to tell the mock to act as a partial:

Sentry::shouldReceive('getUser')->once()->andReturn($userInst);
Sentry::makePartial();

@modess that sounds like a different issue, could you post a new bug with more details, preferably a minimal testcase.

What a perfectly timed question. I was running into this exact same problem. Your suggestion was spot on. Thanks!
