Proper way to add a property to a mock object?

[come-nc]

Q	A
PHPUnit version	9.5.26
PHP version	8.2 RC
Installation Method	Composer

Summary

When setting a public property on a mock object with $object->prop = 'value';, PHP >= 8.2 complains about a dynamic var.

Current behavior

Creation of dynamic property Mock_IRequest_a01db3a3::$server is deprecated

How to reproduce

		$this->request = $this->createMock(IRequest::class);
		$this->request->server['PHP_AUTH_USER'] = 'clientId';

Expected behavior

No error, or some other way to ask a mock object to return a given value for a public property.

This is not a PHPUnit issue.

This is not a PHPUnit issue.

What do you mean?
What is the correct way to do that then?
createMock comes from https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/blob/main/src/Framework/TestCase.php#L1121

I searched and could not find a documented way of adding a property to a MockObject, I only found solutions for methods, and related stackoverflow topics all recommend setting the property dynamically, which is deprecated in PHP 8.2.

I came here looking for the same thing, after not finding a way to set the AllowDynamicProperties attribute when creating the mock class. Sad to see no solution, just a "not my problem" response.
