Verification Methods

The following methods are also mixed in at run-time into mock objects and they will be used to verify behavior and calls from these mock/stub objects. These are great in order to find out how many mocked methods calls have been made and to find out the arguments that where passed to each mocked method call.
Method Name
Return Type
Description
$count([methodName])
Numeric
Get the number of times all mocked methods have been called on a mock or pass in a method name and get a the method's call count.
$times(count,[methodName]) or $verifyCallCount(count,[methodName])
Numeric
Assert how many calls have been made to the mock or a specific mock method
$never([methodName])
Boolean
Assert that no interactions have been made to the mock or a specific mock method: Alias to $times(0)
$atLeast(minNumberOfInvocations,[methodName])
Boolean
Assert that at least a certain number of calls have been made on the mock or a specific mock method
$once([methodName])
Boolean
Assert that only 1 call has been made on the mock or a specific mock method
$atMost(maxNumberOfInvocations, [methodName])
Boolean
Assert that at most a certain number of calls have been made on the mock or a specific mock method.
$callLog()
struct
Retrieve the method call logger structure of all mocked method calls.
$reset()
void
Reset all mock counters and logs on the targeted mock.
$debug()
struct
Retrieve a structure of mocking debugging information about a mock object.
