PHPUNIT weird error - php

Question

In my application I have this weird error when testing only, I am not testing any classes in my Repo folder yet but have this:
Call to undefined method Application_Model_Cache::getInstance() in C:\wamp\www\truCrowd_dev\application\models\Repo\User.php on line 12
My user Repo is:
class Application_Model_Repo_User
{
private $_database;
private $_cache ;
public function __construct()
{
$this->_database = Application_Model_Database::getInstance();
$this->_cache = Application_Model_Cache::getInstance();
$this->_longCache = Application_Model_Cache::getInstance(604800);
}
My cache class is:
class Application_Model_Cache
{
public static function getInstance($_expiration = 7200)
{
$frontend= array(
'lifetime' => $_expiration,
'automatic_serialization' => true
);
$backend= array(
'cache_dir' => './cache/',
);
$cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Output',
'File',
$frontend,
$backend
);
return $cache;
}
}
My testing bootstrap is:
<?php
// Define path to application directory
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
|| define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));
// Define application environment
defined('APPLICATION_ENV') || define('APPLICATION_ENV', 'production');
// Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
get_include_path(),
)));
require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
I Have tried to change the Cache class by having to instantiate it but I get the same result...
My Database class has the exact structure but I haven`t gotten this in the past, now that I advanced in development I wanted to make tests and the error appeared

You should check whether Application_Model_Cache class is being mocked in any of your tests, and if the mock is not being used when calling the non existent method.
