  <div class="section" id="mocking-demeter-chains-and-fluent-interfaces">
<span id="index-0"></span><h1>Mocking Demeter Chains And Fluent Interfaces<a class="headerlink" href="#mocking-demeter-chains-and-fluent-interfaces" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Both of these terms refer to the growing practice of invoking statements
similar to:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$object</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">foo</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">bar</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">zebra</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">alpha</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">selfDestruct</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The long chain of method calls isn’t necessarily a bad thing, assuming they
each link back to a local object the calling class knows. As a fun example,
Mockery’s long chains (after the first <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shouldReceive()</span></code> method) all call to
the same instance of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">\Mockery\Expectation</span></code>. However, sometimes this is not
the case and the chain is constantly crossing object boundaries.</p>
<p>In either case, mocking such a chain can be a horrible task. To make it easier
Mockery supports demeter chain mocking. Essentially, we shortcut through the
chain and return a defined value from the final call. For example, let’s
assume <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selfDestruct()</span></code> returns the string “Ten!” to $object (an instance of
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CaptainsConsole</span></code>). Here’s how we could mock it.</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$mock</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">\Mockery</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">mock</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;CaptainsConsole&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$mock</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">shouldReceive</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;foo-&gt;bar-&gt;zebra-&gt;alpha-&gt;selfDestruct&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">andReturn</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;Ten!&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The above expectation can follow any previously seen format or expectation,
except that the method name is simply the string of all expected chain calls
separated by <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-&gt;</span></code>. Mockery will automatically setup the chain of expected
calls with its final return values, regardless of whatever intermediary object
might be used in the real implementation.</p>
<p>Arguments to all members of the chain (except the final call) are ignored in
this process.</p>
