How-to articles, tricks, and solutions about UNIT-TESTING

There are a few ways you can test protected methods using PHPUnit:

In the context of testing with the Mockito framework, the @Mock annotation is used to create a mock object of a class or interface, and the @InjectMocks annotation is used to inject the mock objects into a test class.

To test a class that has private methods, fields, or inner classes, you can do the following:

You can use the pytest.raises function to test that a Python function throws an exception.

To mock a void method with Mockito, you can use the doAnswer method. Here is an example of how you can use it:

In Laravel, you can use the refresh method on a model instance to reload the model's attributes from the database.

In JUnit 4, you can use the @FixMethodOrder annotation to specify the order in which test methods should be executed.

To test that no exception is thrown in a Java method, you can use the assertDoesNotThrow method from the org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions class (part of the JUnit 5 library).

To verify that a specific method was not called using Mockito, you can use the verifyZeroInteractions method.

Mockito is a popular mocking framework for Java. It allows you to create mock objects and set up test behavior for them.

To verify that a method was called on an object created within a method using Mockito, you can use the Mockito.verify() method and pass it the object that you want to verify, as well as the method that you want to verify was called.

You can use the assertEqualsCanonicalizing or assertEqualsIgnoringCase methods to compare two arrays and ignore the order of the elements.

To run a single test method with Maven, you can use the surefire:test goal and specify the fully-qualified name of the test class and the method name using the test and method properties, respectively.

Here is an example of how you can run unittests in Python using the typical test directory structure:
