Using Mockery as a mocking framework with PHPUnit

emran 2 Comments

A few days ago I was explaining mocking to a few colleagues. I came up with the following quick n dirty code to show them the elegance of Mockery as a mocking framework.

The code is straight-forward: it checks the health of a server using a tiny heart beat script.

1. The script residing in the remote server:

/remote/heart.php

1
2
3
4
5
6
<?php
 
$response = array('status' => 'online');
 
header("Content-type: application/json");
echo json_encode($response);

2. The class that tries to fetch the status from the remote server:

/test/Heartbeat.php

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

<?php
 
class Heartbeat
{
    private $http;
 
    public function __construct(Http $http)
    {
        $this->http = $http;
    }
    
    public function checkHealth()
    {
        $url = 'http://localhost/remote/heart.php';
        $response = $this->http->getResponse($url);
 
        $beat = json_decode($response);
        return (!is_null($beat) && $beat->status == 'online');
    }
}
