php - Calling a method of a mock object -

i testing service phpunit.

i using setup() create mock objects of dependencies service accepts, this:

 public function setup()     {         $this->foomanagermock = $this->getfoomanagermock();         $this->barmanagermock = $this->getbarmanagermock();         $this->treemanagermock = $this->gettreemanagermock();         $this->loggermock = $this->getloggermock();       $this->myservice = new myservice($this->foomanagermock, $this->barmanagermock, $this->treemanagermock, $this->loggermock);     } 

bundle\tests\service\mytest::testservicewithvaliddata

   /**      * @dataprovider getservicevalidcasedata      */     public function testservicewithvaliddata($case)     {          $this->asserttrue($this->myservice->serve($fooarray));     } 

it turns out entity manager in serve() function, having this:

return $this->foomanager->find($fooid) !== null;

in case $this->foomanager instance of mock_foomanager_4038382a , whole test fails.

any suggestions more welcome.

update

/**      * @return \phpunit_framework_mockobject_mockbuilder      */     private function getfoomanagermock()     {         return $this->getmockbuilder(             '\mybundle\entity\manager\foomanager'         )->disableoriginalconstructor()->getmock();     } 

example @matteo

i expecting $foomanager->find($id) return me specific instance of foo, such as:

\mybundle\manager\foomanager{ "id" : 234234, "status" : "pending". "color" : "yellow", "tree" : [          "id" : 2345,          "height" :160        ] } 

you must specify in test case behaviour mocked entity must do, try adding code in testservicewithvaliddata method, before call tested service:

       $foomockobj = $this->getmock('\mybundle\entity\foo');        // mock method        // ps can return concrete instance        // $foomockobj= new  \mybundle\entity\foo();          $this->foomanager             ->expects($this->any())             ->method('find') //            ->with($anoptionalinputid)              ->will($this->returnvalue($foomockobj)); 

hope help
