I am trying to mock a class to prevent it from having to call 3rd party apis. But when setting up the mock, it doesn't seem to affect the controller action. I did try replacing the $this->postJson() by manually creating instances of the Request- and OEmbedController-classes. The create()-method is getting called, but I am receiving an error from Mockery that it isn't.

What am I doing wrong here?

Error:

MockeryExceptionInvalidCountException : Method create() from Mockery_2_Embed_Embed should be called exactly 1 times but called 0 times.

Test:

class OEmbedTest extends TestCase

{

    public function tearDown()

    {

        Mockery::close();

    }



    /**

     * It can return an OEmbed object

     * @test

     */

    public function it_can_return_an_o_embed_object()

    {

        $url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hUIxyE2Ns8';



        Mockery::mock(Embed::class)

            ->shouldReceive('create')

            ->with($url)

            ->once();



        $response = $this->postJson(route('oembed', ['url' => $url]));

        $response->assertSuccessful();

    }

}

Controller:

public function __invoke(Request $request)

{

    $info = Embed::create($request->url);



    $providers = $info->getProviders();



    $oembed = $providers['oembed'];



    return response()

        ->json($oembed

            ->getBag()

            ->getAll());

}

It seems you are mocking the Embed class the wrong way. If you use the Laravel facade method shouldReceive() instead of creating a Mock of the class itself, the framework will place the mock in the service container for you:

Embed::shouldReceive('create')

    ->with($url)

    ->once();

instead of

Mockery::mock(Embed::class)

    ->shouldReceive('create')

    ->with($url)

    ->once();

Also be aware that if the parameters your tested code passes to the mock differs from what you learned the mock with with($url), the mock considers itself uncalled. But you'll receive another error for calling a not defined method anyway.

I was able to solve this by using this in my test:

protected function setUp()

{

    parent::setUp();



    app()->instance(Embed::class, new FakeEmbed);

}

Then resolving it like this

$embed = resolve(Embed::class);

$embed = $embed->create($url);
