Avoid hitting third party API's by forcing their client classes to be mocked in tests

Test API Protect

Avoid hitting third party API's by forcing their client classes to be mocked in Laravel and Lumen tests., _(*1)

Protect any classes in Laravel tests

Install

composer require thatsus/test-api-protect

Add to TestCase

• Use the ProtectClasses trait,
• list the $protected_classes, and
• call protectClasses in the setUp.

use ThatsUs\ProtectClasses;

class TestCase extends \Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase
{

    use ProtectClasses;

    protected $protected_classes = [
        \Facebook\Facebook::class,
        \GuzzleHttp\Client::class,
        \App\SomeExpensiveClass::class,
    ];

    public function setUp()
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->protectClasses();
    }

    ...
}

Make Mistakes with Confidence

Imagine you forgot that this Innocent class uses \App\SomeExpensiveClass., _(*2)

class InnocentTest extends TestCase
{

    public function testInnocentMethod()
    {
        $good_guy = new Innocent();
        $this->assertTrue($good_guy->everythingIsFine());
    }
}

class Innocent 
{

    public function everythingIsFine()
    {
        app('App\SomeExpensiveClass')->doThing();
        return true;
    }
}

Now you get this error., _(*3)

You just saved yourself from doing something dangerous! Pat yourself on the back and go edit that test file., _(*4)

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
use Mockery;

class InnocentTest extends TestCase
{

    public function testInnocentMethod()
    {
        App::bind(\App\SomeExpensiveClass::class, function () {
            $mock = Mockery::mock(\App\SomeExpensiveClass::class);
            $mock->shouldReceive('doThing')->once();
            return $mock;
        });

        $good_guy = new Innocent();
        $this->assertTrue($good_guy->everythingIsFine());
    }
}

No Trouble

If the code under test only instantiates a class without calling any methods on it, no exception is thrown., _(*5)
