- Instance Mocking
- ================
- Instance mocking means that a statement like:
- .. code-block:: php
- $obj = new \MyNamespace\Foo;
- ...will actually generate a mock object. This is done by replacing the real
- class with an instance mock (similar to an alias mock), as with mocking public
- methods. The alias will import its expectations from the original mock of
- that type (note that the original is never verified and should be ignored
- after its expectations are setup). This lets you intercept instantiation where
- you can't simply inject a replacement object.
- As before, this does not prevent a require statement from including the real
- class and triggering a fatal PHP error. It's intended for use where
- autoloading is the primary class loading mechanism.
