- Mocking Public Properties
- =========================
- Mockery allows us to mock properties in several ways. One way is that we can set
- a public property and its value on any mock object. The second is that we can
- use the expectation methods ``set()`` and ``andSet()`` to set property values if
- that expectation is ever met.
- You can read more about :ref:`expectations-setting-public-properties`.
- .. note::
- In general, Mockery does not support mocking any magic methods since these
- are generally not considered a public API (and besides it is a bit difficult
- to differentiate them when you badly need them for mocking!). So please mock
- virtual properties (those relying on ``__get()`` and ``__set()``) as if they
- were actually declared on the class.
