Mocking problematic classes

Jump to bottom
Erin edited this page Feb 14, 2023 · 7 revisions

Some PHP classes can be difficult, if not impossible, to mock. This page lists classes that may cause issues when mocking with Phony.

Final classes

In general, classes marked as final cannot be mocked. However, if the class in question implements an interface, or extends another class that can be mocked, proxy mocks may be a workable solution.

Enumerations

Enumerations are marked final internally. See the section on Final classes for options.

Unsupported classes

Mocking of the following classes is not supported by Phony:

  • __PHP_Incomplete_Class
  • Closure (because it's final)

For more information on Phony, please see the documentation.
