Mocking findOneBy"field" in doctrine2 with PHPUnit

Question

If I mock the repository method find I get the expected results, but if I call either findBy, findOneBy, findOneById I always get null.

Code example:

$mock->expects($this->once())
                ->method('getId')
                ->will($this->returnValue(1));
$mockRepository->expects($this->any())
                         ->method('findBy') //if here I use 'find' works for all other cases always null
                         ->will($this->returnValue($mock));

Is there a reason why this happen? Is it possible to mock the "magics" method of Doctrine2 like findById or findOneById? If yes, what is wrong in my approach?

Answer 1

As described in the comment, is possible with mocking the magic method call. As Example:

 // Mocked return value
 $mock->expects($this->once())
            ->method('getId')
            ->will($this->returnValue(1));

 // Example of repo mocking
 // $mockRepository= $this->getMock('Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository', array(), array(), '', false);

$this->mockRepository
->expects($this->at(1))
->method('__call')
->with('findBy')
->will($this->returnValue($mock));

Hope this help
