Mocks

Declare mocks inside Codeception\Test\Unit class. If you want to use mocks outside it, check the reference for Codeception/Stub library.

public make($class, array $params = array ( ))

• template RealInstanceType of object
• param $class
• param array $params - properties and methods to set
• throws RuntimeException when class does not exist
• throws Exception
• return MockObject&RealInstanceType - mock

Instantiates a class without executing a constructor.

Properties and methods can be set as a second parameter. Even protected and private properties can be set.
