I want to test a specific controller action in Zend Framework 3. Because I use ZfcUser
(https://github.com/ZF-Commons/ZfcUser) and Bjyauthorize
(https://github.com/bjyoungblood/BjyAuthorize) I need to mock some view helpers. For example I need to mock isAllowed
view helper and let it return true always:
class MyTest extends AbstractControllerTestCase
{
public function setUp()
{
$this->setApplicationConfig(include 'config/application.config.php');
$bootstrap = \Zend\Mvc\Application::init(include 'config/application.config.php');
$serviceManager = $bootstrap->getServiceManager();
$viewHelperManager = $serviceManager->get('ViewHelperManager');
$mock = $this->getMockBuilder(IsAllowed::class)->disableOriginalConstructor()->getMock();
$mock->expects($this->any())->method('__invoke')->willReturn(true);
$viewHelperManager->setService('isAllowed', $mock);
$this->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->setAllowOverride(true);
$this->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->setService('ViewHelperManager', $viewHelperManager);
}
public function testViewAction()
{
$this->dispatch('/myuri');
$resp = $this->getResponse();
$this->assertResponseStatusCode(200);
#$this->assertModuleName('MyModule');
#$this->assertMatchedRouteName('mymodule/view');
}
}
In my view.phtml
(which will be rendered by opening/dispatching /myuri
uri) I call the view helper $this->isAllowed('my-resource')
.
But I got response code 500 with failing exception when executing testViewAction()
:
Exceptions raised:
Exception 'Zend\ServiceManager\Exception\ServiceNotFoundException' with message 'A plugin by the name "isAllowed" was not found in the plugin manager Zend\View\HelperPluginManager' in ../vendor/zendframework/zend-servicemanager/src/AbstractPluginManager.php:131
How can I inject my isAllowed
mock to the view helper manager in a way, that let the test case (testViewAction
/ $this->dispatch()
) pass.
As stated in the previous answer already, we need to override the ViewHelper within the ViewHelperManager
in the application object. The following code shows how this could be achieved:
public function setUp()
{
$this->setApplicationConfig(include 'config/application.config.php');
$bootstrap = \Zend\Mvc\Application::init(include 'config/application.config.php');
$serviceManager = $bootstrap->getServiceManager();
// mock isAllowed View Helper of Bjyauthorize
$mock = $this->getMockBuilder(IsAllowed::class)->disableOriginalConstructor()->getMock();
$mock->expects($this->any())->method('__invoke')->willReturn(true);
// inject the mock into the ViewHelperManager of the application
$this->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('ViewHelperManager')->setAllowOverride(true);
$this->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('ViewHelperManager')->setService('isAllowed', $mock);
}
