Answer 1

I am sorry that I cannot help you 100%, I cannot setup a testing project right now to try this, but you can try it:

public function testGetById()
{
    $mock = Mockery::spy(PostService::class);
    // Bind the mock to the Service Container so it gets injected (DI)

    // Execute the code that would run that mock
    $mock->shouldHaveReceived('getById')
        ->withSomeOfArgs(1);
}

Spies allow you to spy if the desired method got called with desired conditions. If you mock , you are just "faking" what it will return or do, if you spy , you will be able to assert what happened to a method.

Read more about it on the official Mockery documentation .

There are two options.

Option 1:

• make sure you have added a tearDown method with `Mockery::close();
• then use any assertion.
• If you don't really need one, use $this->assertTrue(true);

Option 2:

You can also extend Mockery\Adapter\Phpunit\MockeryTestCase instead of the usual PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase . That way you don't have to add phpunit assertions at all.
