Static approach makes this class unmockable

[func0der]

Hey there,

I found that you class seems to be unmockable for PHPUnit, because all its calls are static and the state is saved staticalled, too.

I could imagine, why you would have chosen this approach, but it hinders us from mocking it away.

Do you see a way of combining a 'correct' stateful approach with your easy accessible static one? Maybe with the singleton pattern for example?
With this approach there would be almost to none changes to your existing public api, because you could hide the instanciating process in your class.
Or maybe something else, like a new major with a compatibility break?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Could you provide some code example of what you are trying to do?

Of what I am trying to test or how I would imagine your class in the non-static approach?

Of what are you not being able to test properly
