PHPUnit, mocked interfaces, and instanceof

Sometimes in my code, I'll check t开发者_如何学Pythono see if a particular object implements an interface:

if ($instance instanceof Interface) {};

However, creating mocks of said interface in PHPUnit, I can't seem to pass that test.

 // class name is Mock_Interface_431469d7, does not pass above check
 $instance = $this->getMock('Interface'); 

I understand that having a class named Interface is different from a class implementing Interface, but I'm not sure how to get deal with this.

Am I forced to mock a concrete class that implements Interface? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using an interface for portability?

Thanks

there is also assertInstanceOf as of 3.5.0

Example:

$this->assertInstanceOf('\Models\User', $this->userService->findById(1));

This works for me:

$mock = $this->getMock('TestInterface');
$this->assertTrue($mock instanceof TestInterface);

Maybe it's a typo or maybe $instance isn't what you think it is?

Use PhpUnit function assertInstanceOf.

Example:

$this->assertInstanceOf(ResponseInterface::class, $signInResponse);
