passing variable from php function to another inside class - PHPUnit - php

Question

after creating inside setUp() two variables, i cant figure out how should i pass them to second function and use them.
this is my last attempt:
class adRequestTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase{
protected function setUp(){
$env = \Slim\Environment::mock([
'REQUEST_METHOD' => 'PUT',
'REQUEST_URI' => '/foo/bar',
'QUERY_STRING' => 'abc=123&foo=bar',
'SERVER_NAME' => 'example.com',
'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json;charset=utf8',
'CONTENT_LENGTH' => 15
]);
$request = new \Slim\Http\Request($env);
}
function testInitFromHttpRequest_correctConstruction($request, $env){
$fixture = new AdRequest();
$fixture->initFromHttpRequest($request, $env);
}
}
i tried doing that by passing them like this as well :
function testInitFromHttpRequest_correctConstruction($request = $this->request, $env = $this->env)
but didnt work as well.
i am getting this error:
Missing argument 1 for adRequestTest::testInitFromHttpRequest_correctConstruction()
but i am passing two arguments like defined in the declaration... what am i missing here?? thx

The PHPunit framework don't pass any arguments to your function until you don't define a dataprovider (is not your case/scenario).
You can try this modified test case that define as class scope the variable you define in the setup method:
class adRequestTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase{
private $env;
private $request;
protected function setUp(){
$this->env = \Slim\Environment::mock([
'REQUEST_METHOD' => 'PUT',
'REQUEST_URI' => '/foo/bar',
'QUERY_STRING' => 'abc=123&foo=bar',
'SERVER_NAME' => 'example.com',
'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json;charset=utf8',
'CONTENT_LENGTH' => 15
]);
$this->request = new \Slim\Http\Request($this->env);
}
function testInitFromHttpRequest_correctConstruction(){
$fixture = new AdRequest();
$fixture->initFromHttpRequest($this->request, $this->env);
// write here your tests/assertions...
}
}
Hope this help
