Testing __call method

Question

public function __call($method, $args)
{
    if ( ! in_array($method, $this->validMethods))
    {
      throw new \BadMethodCallException("Not a valid method: {$method}");
    }

}

How do I test the __call method to make sure $method is in my list of valid methods? Right now here's what I did;

/**
 * @covers World\Transmission::__call()
 * @expectedException BadMethodCallException
 * @expectedExceptionMessage Not a valid method: foo
 */
public function test__callInvalidRequest()
{
    $m = m::mock('World\\Transmission', array($this->config))->makePartial();
    $m->foo(array('foo'));
}

The error I get is a endless trace of call_user_func_array().

Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting!.

what about simply change your test code to like these:

    public function test__callInvalidRequest()
    {
        $transmission = new World\Transmission($this->config);
        $transmission->foo();
    }
