No longer possible to configure methods for the mock a class that does not exist

[greg0ire]

Since 3.2.4, using getMock on a class that does not exist no longer allows specifying methods that should be recognized. Calling a method on such a mock results in an undefined index warning.

This can be reproduced thanks to @nubs by following the steps described here : https://gist.github.com/nubs/ddb081e1d1b09541d7f7a1d93d009533

Classes that do not exist cannot be doubled using the new createMock() API:

<?php
class Test extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase
{
    public function testClassThatDoesNotExistCanBeDoubledUsingMockBuilder()
    {
        $o = $this->createMock('DoesNotExist');

        $this->assertInstanceOf('DoesNotExist', $o);
    }
}

There was 1 warning:

1) Test::testClassThatDoesNotExistCanBeDoubledUsingMockBuilder
Cannot stub or mock class or interface "DoesNotExist" which does not exist

WARNINGS!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 0, Warnings: 1.

Classes that do not exist can still be doubled using the Mock Builder API:

<?php
class Test extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase
{
    public function testClassThatDoesNotExistCanBeDoubledUsingMockBuilder()
    {
        $o = $this->getMockBuilder('DoesNotExist')->getMock();

        $this->assertInstanceOf('DoesNotExist', $o);
    }
}

OK (1 test, 1 assertion)

What is currently broken, and what I think this ticket is about, is configuring methods for test doubles of classes that do not exist:

<?php
class Test extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase
{
    public function testClassThatDoesNotExistCanBeDoubledUsingMockBuilder()
    {
        $o = $this->getMockBuilder('DoesNotExist')
                  ->setMethods(['someMethod'])
                  ->getMock();
    }
}

This is a bug that I will fix ASAP.

Seems to be related to this change a8c81f2#diff-64dbbc1c21f9be2d92e2b715617ffe34R839 by @sawmurai for #319.

[greg0ire]

Sorry, I failed to express it clearly but this is indeed the issue I wanted to report

[sebastianbergmann]

No worries, glad we figured it out now :-)

[sebastianbergmann]

@sawmurai Can you have a look at this, please? Thanks!

[sawmurai]

Sorry guys I was busy the entire day. Is there anything left to do? What was/is the outcome of this one?
