Hi.

I was wondering if there was a way to be able to return results when mocking `Aerospike` client functions?

Example below:

given this piece of code:

```php
// Get the data with optional bins:
$status = $this->getAerospike()->get($key, $record, $binArray, $options);

```

I can mock and test with the following:

```php
$this->mockAerospike->expects($this->once())
    ->method('isConnected')
    ->willReturn(true);

$this->mockAerospike->expects($this->once())
    ->method('get')
    ->with($key, $record, null, $options)
    ->willReturn(Aerospike::OK);

```

As you can see, I can mock the connection so it thinks it’s connected and I can also mock the `get` function, **but** in order for the application to function it checks that `$status === Aerospike::OK` from the request (to indicate that everything worked, the record exists and nothing failed) but what I can’t seem to do is populate the `$record` variable in order for the rest of the function to continue.

Any ideas how I may be able to do this in a testing environment? I’m guessing this must have been done before / talked about?

Thanks
