How to mock request method in phpunit mockery? - php

Question

I started using mockery so I have a problem in doing my unit test . I want to test authenticate middleware , I passed one condition for expectsJson so I need one more pattern to return true from expectesJson like below but not success
Authenticate.php
protected function redirectTo($request)
{
if (! $request->expectsJson()) {
return route('login');
}
}
AuthenticatTest.php
class AuthenticateTest extends TestCase
{
/**
* A basic unit test example.
*
* #return void
*/
public function testMiddleware()
{
$request = Request::create(config('app.url') . '500', 'GET',[],[],[],['REMOTE_ADDR'=>'127.0.0.1:8000']);
$middleware = new Authenticate($this->createMock(Factory::class));
$class = new \ReflectionClass(Authenticate::class);
$method = $class->getMethod("redirectTo");
$method->setAccessible(true);
$expectedStatusCode = 401;
$this->assertContains("http://",$method->invokeArgs($middleware,[$request]));
}
public function testMiddlewareElse()
{
$this->mock(Request::class, function($mock) {
$mock->shouldReceive("expectsJson")
->once()->andReturn(true);
});
$request = Request::create(config('app.url') . '200', 'POST',[],[],[],['REMOTE_ADDR'=>'127.0.0.1:00']);
$middleware = new Authenticate($this->createMock(Factory::class));
$class = new \ReflectionClass(Authenticate::class);
$method = $class->getMethod("redirectTo");
$method->setAccessible(true);
$this->assertContains("",$method->invokeArgs($middleware,[$request]));
}
}
testMiddlewareElse is failed , How to return true for $request->expectsJson

Answer 1

Here's how you could test a request for the authentication middleware. Assume that you have a route that requires authentication that is managed by UserController#dashboard (or similar):
public function testMiddleware() {
// You could disable the other middleware of the route if you don't want them to run e.g.
// $this->withoutMiddleware([ list of middleware to disable ]);
$mockController = $this->prophecy(UserController::class);
//This is if the middleware passes and the controller method is called, use shouldNotBeCalled if you expect it to fail
$mockController->dashboard(Prophecy::any())->shouldBeCalled();
$this->app->instance(
UserController::class,
$mockController->reveal()
);
$this->json("GET", url()->action("UserController#dashboard"));
}

I found the solution ! I need to pass mock class in invoke params ...;)
public function testMiddlewareElse()
{
$mock = $this->mock(Request::class, function($mock) {
$mock->shouldReceive("expectsJson")
->once()->andReturn(true);
});
$request = Request::create(config('app.url') . '200', 'POST',[],[],[],['REMOTE_ADDR'=>'127.0.0.1:00']);
$middleware = new Authenticate($this->createMock(Factory::class));
$class = new \ReflectionClass(Authenticate::class);
$method = $class->getMethod("redirectTo");
$method->setAccessible(true);
$this->assertContains("",$method->invokeArgs($middleware,[$mock]));
}
