How do I assertInstanceOf() in PHPUnit?

Question

I have write this piece of code for a Unit test:

<?php

namespace tests;

use data\address\Address;
use lists\Collection;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class CollectionTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testIsCollectionOf()
    {
        $Collection = new Collection(Address::class);
        $this->assertInstanceOf($Collection, Collection::class);
    }
}

When I run over it I got this errors:

PHPUnit 5.4.6 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Runtime:       PHP 7.0.6-6+donate.sury.org~trusty+1
Configuration: /var/www/project/phpunit.xml

There was 1 error:

ERRORS!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 0, Errors: 1

Now if I var_dump($Collection) I got:

object(Collection)#18 (2) {
  ["class_name":"Collection":private]=>
  string(32) "data\address\Address"
  ["_items":protected]=>
  array(0) {
  }
}

Why? What's wrong in my test case?

Answer 1

The order of arguments is wrong. Try this:

$this->assertInstanceOf(Collection::class, $Collection);
