`stubs()`

Stubs give you a way to redefine multiple functions by passing an array to Brain Monkey. This toolset is handy for things such as WordPress escaping and internationalization functions, as we can bulk define these functions in your Test Case. Here is an example of how we do it with the Beans framework.

	/**
	* Setup the stubs for the common WordPress escaping and internationalization functions.
	*/
	protected function setup_common_wp_stubs() {
	// Common escaping functions.
	Monkey\Functions\stubs( array(
	'esc_attr',
	'esc_html',
	'esc_textarea',
	'esc_url',
	'wp_kses_post',
	) );
	// Common internationalization functions.
	Monkey\Functions\stubs( array(
	'__',
	'esc_html__',
	'esc_html_x',
	'esc_attr_x',
	) );
	foreach ( array( 'esc_attr_e', 'esc_html_e', '_e' ) as $wp_function ) {
	Monkey\Functions\when( $wp_function )->echoArg();
	}
	}

Testing Hooks with Brain Monkey

Our themes and plugins use hooks to run code when an event fires. We use WordPress' functions to add or remove a hooked callback, fire the event, or check the status. How do you unit test those interactions without loading WordPress? Meet Brain Monkey. Brain Monkey gives you the power to unit test hooks by simulating WordPress. In this lab, you'll walk through building unit tests for hooks.
