Message:

I am testing a class, let's call it ClassUnderTest using another class, let's call it OtherClass. In my Test I do:

$OtherClassStub = $this->createStub(OtherClass::class);

$OtherClassStub->method(...)

    ->willReturn(...);

$ClassUnderTest->otherClass = $OtherClassStub;

That works. But when the $ClassUnderTest calls new OtherClass(), the original OtherClass class is created instead of the stub.

How can I achieve that every possible instance of OtherClass in the context of the test is replaced by the stub?

My Answer:
>getMockBuilder(OtherClass::class)
->disableOriginalConstructor()
->getMock();

$this->getMockBuilder(ClassUnderTest::class)
->setConstructorArgs([$OtherClassStub])
->getMock();
