.. index:: single: Reserved Method Names Reserved Method Names ===================== As you may have noticed, Mockery uses a number of methods called directly on all mock objects, for example ``shouldReceive()``. Such methods are necessary in order to setup expectations on the given mock, and so they cannot be implemented on the classes or objects being mocked without creating a method name collision (reported as a PHP fatal error). The methods reserved by Mockery are: * ``shouldReceive()`` * ``shouldNotReceive()`` * ``allows()`` * ``expects()`` * ``shouldAllowMockingMethod()`` * ``shouldIgnoreMissing()`` * ``asUndefined()`` * ``shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods()`` * ``makePartial()`` * ``byDefault()`` * ``shouldHaveReceived()`` * ``shouldHaveBeenCalled()`` * ``shouldNotHaveReceived()`` * ``shouldNotHaveBeenCalled()`` In addition, all mocks utilise a set of added methods and protected properties which cannot exist on the class or object being mocked. These are far less likely to cause collisions. All properties are prefixed with ``_mockery`` and all method names with ``mockery_``.
