Laravel Mockery Integration Test

Question

I am a little lost on how to perform integration test using mockery.

I have the following classes: TeacherController TeacherManager - Interface TeacherManagerImpl - Implementation

When it comes to mockery / PHPUnit, how do I call a method from my interface? It says that the interface can not be instantiated. I know it can't but how can I inject it into the test class or should I just do new on the implementation. Doing a new on the implementation just does not seem right to me.

Thanks to Kindari in the Laravel IRC chat room In the Test setup method just bind the interface to the implementation and then set a private member variable using App::make. See below.

App::bind('FooInterface', 'FooImplementation'); 
$foo = App::make('FooInterface');

also app() is a shortcut to App::make
