Bug with atoum mock about atoum HOT 5 CLOSED

Note that if I define an empty constructor in the class B

class A
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        echo 'foo';
    }
}

class B extends A
{
    public function __construct()
    {
    }
}

Everything is fine

When you mocking B, A::__construct is called because PHP call A::__construct() even if B has no constructor :

<?php

class A
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        echo 'foo';
    }
}

class B extends A {}

$b = new B(); // foo

So it's normal that the mock call the parent constructor.

Yes i agree with you. But in my example, class B didn't call the parent::construct().

So A::__construct() should not be executed. Maybe I missed something ?

from atoum.

So i don't understand your problem.
If you have a A class with a constructor, and a B class which extend it and has no constructor, when you do $b = new B, PHP use A::__construct() to build the B object.

To clarify my issue :

• A is the mocked class
• A inherit B
• A has a empty __construct()
• B has no an empty __construct()

When I was calling A, B::__construct() was called (but A didnt call parent::__construct()).

But I have just tried to do the bug again, and now it is working fine ... I don't understand what's happened the last days.

Maybe we can close this issue, and if this case arises again I will reopen it.
