verifyMockObjects() is now private

Q	A
PHPUnit version	8.1.6
PHP version	7.2.15
Installation Method	Composer

We are migrating from PHPUnit 5 to PHPUnit 8.
And we have discovered that verifyMockObjects() is now a private method.

We use it a lot in our tests like this:

• set up some context for the test
• mock some objects
• run some user-land code
• assert it works well with verifyMockObjects()
• mock some more objects
• run some user-land code
• assert it works well with verifyMockObjects()
• ...

An example would be an iterator:

• we check it once set up
• we check it after the first loop
• we check it after the second loop
• ...

Using verifyMockObjects() helps us to set up some milestone in the test.
Is there a workaround or a best practice we should be aware of since verifyMockObjects() is now private?

Thanks!

@sebastianbergmann would you accept a PR to make this method protected instead of private?

I am sorry that this causes you grief but this will stay private.

@sebastianbergmann any workaround or best practice on how to use it in my use case (see my first message about iterator)?
