getMockBuilder() should also work with non-existent classes

[Majkl578]

TestCase::getMockBuilder() can be used with undefined classes as well. In this case, the mock system creates dummy empty class of the given name.

This is used in Doctrine on some places, i.e. for testing event listeners that are based on naming, not interface.

Without this patch, we were getting the following errors:

No tests for Type\PHPUnit - how to add some?

@lookyman @ondrejmirtes Can you please review this as a bugfix for 0.10.x? Thanks.

Hi, what about createMock? That one needs the same fix probably: https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan-phpunit/blob/master/src/Type/PHPUnit/CreateMockDynamicReturnTypeExtension.php

According to this comment from Sebastian Bergmann, non-existent classes cannot be used with createMock() API, but can be used with Mock Builder API:

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

and

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

It's 2 years old commit though, it may've changed.

[ondrejmirtes]

Can you verify that with a quick test?

[Majkl578]

Seems to still be valid:

<?php

class NonExistentTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase
{
    public function testCreateMock()
    {
        $mock = $this->createMock('NonExistent');
        self::assertInstanceOf(PHPUnit\Framework\MockObject\MockObject::class, $mock);
    }

    public function testGetMockBuilder()
    {
        $mock = $this->getMockBuilder('NonExistent')->getMock();
        self::assertInstanceOf(PHPUnit\Framework\MockObject\MockObject::class, $mock);
    }
}

$ vendor/bin/phpunit NonExistentTest.php
PHPUnit 7.3.1 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

W.                                                                  2 / 2 (100%)

This is because it's explicitly disallowed in createMock(): https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/blob/7.3.1/src/Framework/TestCase.php#L1311

[ondrejmirtes]

Cool. Maybe we should modify https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan-phpunit/blob/master/src/Type/PHPUnit/MockBuilderDynamicReturnTypeExtension.php too to return a little bit different instance of MockBuilderType after calling disallowMockingUnknownTypes that would still complain about unknown class.
