.. index:: single: Mocking; Protected Methods Mocking Protected Methods ========================= By default, Mockery does not allow mocking protected methods. We do not recommend mocking protected methods, but there are cases when there is no other solution. For those cases we have the ``shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods()`` method. It instructs Mockery to specifically allow mocking of protected methods, for that one class only: .. code-block:: php class MyClass { protected function foo() { } } $mock = \Mockery::mock('MyClass') ->shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods(); $mock->shouldReceive('foo');
