Problem is when you create your mock:

$mock = Mockery::mock('Myname\Myapp\Models\PersonModel')
    ->shouldReceive('find')
    ->with('var');

So this:

$mock = Mockery::mock('Myname\Myapp\Models\PersonModel')
var_dump($mock);
die();

Will output something like this: Mockery_0_Myname_Myapp_Models_PersonModel

But this:

$mock = Mockery::mock('Myname\Myapp\Models\PersonModel')
    ->shouldReceive('find')
    ->with('var');
var_dump($mock);
die();

Will output this: Mockery\CompositeExpectation

So try doing something like this:

$mock = Mockery::mock('Myname\Myapp\Models\PersonModel');
$mock->shouldReceive('find')->with('var');

$this->app->instance('Myname\Myapp\Models\PersonModel', $mock);
$repo = $this->app->make('Myname\Myapp\Repositories\PersonRepository');
$result = $repo->testFunction('var');
