php - phpunit mock method multiple calls with different arguments

Question

Is there any way to define different mock-expects for different input arguments? For example, I have database layer class called DB. This class has method called "Query ( string $query )", that method takes an SQL query string on input. Can I create mock for this class (DB) and set different return values for different Query method calls that depends on input query string?

It's not ideal to use at() if you can avoid it because as their docs claim

The $index parameter for the at() matcher refers to the index, starting at zero, in all method invocations for a given mock object. Exercise caution when using this matcher as it can lead to brittle tests which are too closely tied to specific implementation details.

Since 4.1 you can use withConsecutive eg.

$mock->expects($this->exactly(2))
     ->method('set')
     ->withConsecutive(
         [$this->equalTo('foo'), $this->greaterThan(0)],
         [$this->equalTo('bar'), $this->greaterThan(0)]
       );

If you want to make it return on consecutive calls:

  $mock->method('set')
         ->withConsecutive([$argA1, $argA2], [$argB1], [$argC1, $argC2])
         ->willReturnOnConsecutiveCalls($retValueA, $retValueB, $retValueC);
