twice() method doesn't work in Mockery PHP

Question

I am new to PHP Mockery Framework. I have a mock function executePrepared($arg1, $arg2, arg3) which I am calling it twice but seems to be not working and gives below error in PHPUnit command line:

Configuration read from C:\xampp\htdocs\DatabaseTesting\phpunit.xml

..←[31;1mE←[0m

Time: 47 ms, Memory: 3.25Mb

There was 1 error:


1) Test\Database\Table\TableTest::testinsertMany
 Mockery\Exception\NoMatchingExpectationException: No matching handler found for
 Mockery_0_Database_PGC::executePrepared(array(0=>'ClayPipe',1=>2000,2=>2100,3=>1
 ,4=>'2000-01-01',5=>'{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}',), "insert_assets", "\Databas
 e\Model\Asset"). Either the method was unexpected or its arguments matched no ex
 pected argument list for this method

my test function is as below:

 public function testinsertMany() {
      $this->PGCMock->shouldReceive('executePrepared')->twice()->withArgs(array(
[array('Clay Pipe',2000,2100,1,'2000-01-01','{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}'), 'insert_assets', '\Database\Model\Asset'],
[array('Main Street',1000,1100,0,'2000-02-01','{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}'), 'insert_assets', '\Database\Model\Asset']))
->andReturn($expectedResult1);

$data1 = array('name'=>'Clay Pipe',
                    'hist_cost' => 2000,
                    'val_cost' => 2100,
                    'val_method' => 1,
                    'service_date' => '2000-01-01',
                    'tags' => '{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}'
                    );

    $data2 = array('name'=>'Main Street',
                    'hist_cost' => 1000,
                    'val_cost' => 1100,
                    'val_method' => 0,
                    'service_date' => '2000-02-01',
                    'tags' => '{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}'
                    ); 

    $actualResult = $this->tableMock->insertMany(array($data1,$data2));
}

I don't understand what's wrong here. Is my Syntax for calling mock function twice() with passed argument wrong? Could any body please guide me here?

twice() should be used when the same call (including arguments) is expected to be executed 2 times. Looks like you want to check 2 consecutive calls, each with distinct argument.

If that is the case, this would work:

$this->PGCMock
    ->shouldReceive('executePrepared')
    ->once()
    ->ordered()
    ->withArgs([
        array('Clay Pipe',2000,2100,1,'2000-01-01','{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}'),
        'insert_assets', '\Database\Model\Asset'
     ])
     ->andReturn($result1);
$this->PGCMock
    ->shouldReceive('executePrepared')
    ->once()
    ->ordered()
    ->withArgs([
         array('Main Street',1000,1100,0,'2000-02-01','{"1":"1","2":6,"3":8,"4":10}'),
         'insert_assets', '\Database\Model\Asset'            
     ])
     ->andReturn($result2);

Thanks @gontrollez! My intention is to write code only once and execute twice with different argument. Is there any way we can use times(n) function? I am sorry but I could not find concise examples in official documentation. – Vish021 Dec 04 '14 at 14:38
Not sure about what you mean. But if executePrepared is going to be executed 2 times and with different parameters, you must configure each call by separate. Isn't that the case? – gontrollez Dec 04 '14 at 17:17
Yes, executePrepared is going to execute exactly 2 times with different arguments. If we have to configure each call by separate then the solutions you have provided works fine. I thought we can achieve this in a single call. Anyways, Thanks for answer! – Vish021 Dec 04 '14 at 19:34
Old one but put the expectation in a loop. – Leigh Bicknell Jun 07 '23 at 11:17
