After using setMockClassName can only create one mock.

[georgevanvliet]

I am using PHPUnit 3.6.10.

When I have:

class MyClass {

}

Then mock it using:

$mock = $this->getMockBuilder('MyClass')->setMockClassName('someName')->getMock();

I can only create a mock like this once. If I were to execute the same expression again within the same function, or same testCase class (PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase) I get the error:

PHPUnit_Framework_Exception: Class "someName" already exists.

If I don't use the setMockClassName method to explicitly set a class name I can create as many mocks as I want, without errors.

This happens both with getMock and getMockForAbstractClass.

Is this expected behavior ?

I can only speak for me and say: I didn't expect it :)

I would understand the error message if you'd give it a class name of something that does already exist and isn't a mock of "MyClass" for when providing the same "Alias" for the same class I'd expect it to just work.

It seems to not be wildly used. I have to go check if this can be fixed easily

This will be released with phpunit 3.7.

Thanks for the bug report
