function ModuleHandlerTest::getModuleHandler

Get a module handler object to test.

Since we have to run these tests in separate processes, we have to use test objects which are serializable. Since ModuleHandler will populate itself with Extension objects, and since Extension objects will try to access DRUPAL_ROOT when they're unserialized, we can't store our mocked ModuleHandler objects as a property in unit tests. They must be generated by the test method by calling this method.

Return value

\Drupal\Core\Extension\ModuleHandler The module handler to test.
