Phaked nullable return type object will return phaked object

[FredM]

If a class declares a function with a nullable return type

public function find(int $id): ?Foo
{
    return $this->repository->find($id);
}

Then, when mocking this object without specifying behaviour for this method (Phake::when(...) ), Phake will automatically return a Phaked object of this type instead of null

Hi Fred :-)

This is because the default answer strategy used is SmartDefaultAnswer.

I think a good addition would be to add a new IAnswer implementation that does what you want so that you can change it.

I'll tag this as an Enhancement.

Thanks

Thanks for the explanation Pierrick!
Not sure of the context back then but obviously I found an alternative ;-) You can close it or keep it if you think that is could be a valuable improvement.
