- 4.0.x modules/phpunit_example/tests/src/Unit/ProtectedPrivatesTest.php \Drupal\Tests\phpunit_example\Unit\ProtectedPrivatesTest
ProtectedPrivates unit testing of restricted methods.
This test case demonstrates the following unit testing patterns and topics:
- Using reflection to test private class methods.
- Using subclassing to test protected class methods.
If you are reading this and don't understand the basics of unit testing, start reading AddClassTest instead.
This test class uses reflection and subclassing to work around method access problems. Since, by design, a private method is inaccessible, we have to use reflection to gain access to the method for our own purposes.
The getAccessibleMethod() method demonstrates a way to do this.
Once we've set the method to be accessible, we can use it as if it were public.
The same technique can be used for protected methods. However, there might be times when it makes more sense to subclass the class under test, and just make a public accessor method that way. So we demonstrate that here in testProtectedAdd().
