Came across a situation similar to [1] where I had to
call submit()
function of a FormSpecialPage during a unit test. We have something going
on in the background, and $this->getUser() needs to return a valid user.
Is there a way to mimic this context inside the unit test, so that I can
manually set a $user in the unit test, and this would be used while
performing inner operations ?
No need to mimic, you can just inject it (as long as the special page
correctly uses $this->getUser() & co instead of using globals, which is
usually not a problem with special pages) :
$specialPage = $this->newSpecialPage();
$context = new DerivativeContext( RequestContext::getMain() );
$context->setUser( $user );
$context->setRequest( ... );
$specialPage->setContext( $context );
$res = $specialPage->onSubmit( $input );
