PHPUnit mocking request - class not found

Hello

I need to mock requests to a class with PHPUnit. I've noticed it is possible to mock a request thanks this post: https://forum.phalcon.io/discussion/1526/mocking-requests-for-unit-tests

However when I run the test I receive a message that the RequestMock class cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? I've tried adding the RequestMock class to the test namespace but that doesn't seem to help.

Test class:

<?php
namespace Phalcon\Test;

use Phalcon\Di;

/**
 * Class ControllerBaseTest
 */
class ControllerBaseTest extends \UnitTestCase {
  public function setUp(){
      parent::setUp();
      $this->di->set(
        "request",
        new Phalcon\Test\RequestMock()
      );
      $this->di->set(
        "response",
        "Phalcon\\Http\\Response"
      );
  }
}

RequestMock class:

<?php
namespace Phalcon\Test;

use Phalcon\Http\Request;

class RequestMock extends Phalcon\Http\Request
{
    /**
     * @var string|null Holds the raw body to be used for tests
     */
    static protected $raw_body = null;

    /**
     * Override the method to allow us to get a raw body, set for tests
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getRawBody()
    {
        return self::$raw_body;
    }

    /**
     * Sets the raw body to be used in tests
     *
     * @param string $raw_body The raw body to be set and used for tests
     */
    public function setRawBody($raw_body)
    {
        self::$raw_body = $raw_body;
    }
}

Thanks in advance for any help! If you need more information/code. Please let me know and I'll happily provide it :)

new Phalcon\Test\RequestMock in Phalcon\Test namespace will mean class \Phalcon\Test\Phalcon\Test\RequestMock

just start using IDE and you will know that this is error

With the help of @Jurigag and @izo on the Phalcon Slack channel we pinpointed the issue to the fact I registered the wrong directory that needs to be searched in for the class.

So instead of having this in my TestHelper.php file:

'Phalcon\Test\Mocks' => __DIR__ . '/test/mocks/',

I had to do this:

'Phalcon\Test\Mocks' => __DIR__ . '/mocks/',
