What is the way to avoid phpunit having to call the constructor for a mock object? Otherwise I would need a mock object as constructor argument, another one for that etc. The ap

    Alternatively you could add a parameter to getMock to prevent the calling of the default constructor.

    $mock = $this->getMock(class_name, methods = array(), args = array(), 
            mockClassName = '', callOriginalConstructor = FALSE);
    

    Still, I think the answer of dave1010 looks nicer, this is just for the sake of completeness.

    PHPUnit is designed to call the constructor on mocked objects; to prevent this you should either:

    1. Inject a mock object as a dependency into the object you're having trouble mocking
    2. Create a test class that extends the class you're trying to call that doesn't call the parent constructor

    This question is a little old, but for new visitors, you can do it using the createMock method (previously called createTestDouble and introduced in v5.4.0).

    $mock = $this->createMock($className);
    

    As you can see in the code below extracted from the PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase class (in phpunit/src/framework/TestCase.php), it will basically create a mock object without calling the original constructor.

    /** PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::createMock method */
    protected function createMock(string $originalClassName): MockObject
    {
        return $this->getMockBuilder($originalClassName)
                    ->disableOriginalConstructor()
                    ->disableOriginalClone()
                    ->disableArgumentCloning()
                    ->disallowMockingUnknownTypes()
                    ->getMock();
    }

    Perhaps you need to create a stub to pass in as the constructor argument. Then you can break that chain of mock objects.

    As an addendum, I wanted to attach expects() calls to my mocked object and then call the constructor. In PHPUnit 3.7.14, the object that is returned when you call disableOriginalConstructor() is literally an object.

    // Use a trick to create a new object of a class
    // without invoking its constructor.
    $object = unserialize(
    sprintf('O:%d:"%s":0:{}', strlen($className), $className)
    

    Unfortunately, in PHP 5.4 there is a new option which they aren't using:

    ReflectionClass::newInstanceWithoutConstructor

    Since this wasn't available, I had to manually reflect the class and then invoke the constructor.

    $mock = $this->getMockBuilder('class_name')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();
    
    $mock->expect($this->once())
        ->method('functionCallFromConstructor')
        ->with($this->equalTo('someValue'));
    
    $reflectedClass = new ReflectionClass('class_name');
    $constructor = $reflectedClass->getConstructor();
    $constructor->invoke($mock);
    

    Note, if functionCallFromConstruct is protected, you specifically have to use setMethods() so that the protected method is mocked. Example:

        $mock->setMethods(array('functionCallFromConstructor'));
    

    setMethods() must be called before the expect() call. Personally, I chain this after disableOriginalConstructor() but before getMock().

    You can use getMockBuilder instead of just getMock:

    $mock = $this->getMockBuilder('class_name')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();
    

    See the section on "Test Doubles" in PHPUnit's documentation for details.

    Although you can do this, it's much better to not need to. You can refactor your code so instead of a concrete class (with a constructor) needing to be injected, you only depend upon an interface. This means you can mock or stub the interface without having to tell PHPUnit to modify the constructor behaviour.
