Mocking Protected Methods

=========================

By default, Mockery does not allow mocking protected methods. We do not recommend

mocking protected methods, but there are cases when there is no other solution.

For those cases we have the ``shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods()`` method. It

instructs Mockery to specifically allow mocking of protected methods, for that

one class only:

.. code-block:: php

    class MyClass

    {

        protected function foo()

        {

        }

    }

    $mock = \Mockery::mock('MyClass')

        ->shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods();

    $mock->shouldReceive('foo');
