Mock Stripe API with Mockery & Laravel

TestCase.php

<?php

namespace Tests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase;
use Stripe\Customer;
use Stripe\Stripe;

/**
 * Class TestCase.
 */
abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication;
    
    // Other methods here for your base test class
    // In your methods you can call $this->mockStripe() and amend method as expected for additional models if required
  
    /**
     * Mock the stripe models and get some expected results back
     *
     * @return null
     */
    public function mockStripe()
    {
        $this->mock(Stripe::class, function ($mock) {
            $mock->shouldReceive('setApiKey');
        });

        $this->mock(Customer::class, function ($mock) {
            $mock->shouldReceive('create')->andReturn([
                'id' => 'test_stripe_customer_id'
            ]);
        });
    }
}

Hi @lukecurtis93 , a few questions:

1. Would this mock directly hit the test API?
2. The customer create method returns an object Stripe\Customer, what's the reason behind returning that array?

Hey there!

1. No it wouldn't the idea is we don't hit the endpoints.
2. Yes you're correct, it should actually return a new instance of that (this is an old snippet so may have changed since I last used their SDK)
