Re: Cake 2.0 RC3 / PHPUnit - How to make mock for a model?

Mocks should be done inside each test method, but if you are doing them inside setUp() then, you should not specify the class name for the mock, because you will get duplicate defined class errors. So lets say you want to mock the save method for a model

App::uses('User', 'Model') //It is important that the class can be loaded before creating the mock

$user = $this->getMock('User', array('save'), array(array('ds' => 'test'))) // Only mocking the save method, but also using the test datasource

Expecting that the save method is called, with some data, and  mocking it to return true:

$user->expects($this->once())->method('save')->with(array('User' => array('name' => 'Jhon')))->will($this->returnValue(true));

Make sure you read the PHPUnit documentation on mock objects
