Phpunit: making multiple ajax calls in one test

Hello,

I’ve stumbled upon a big hurdle in phpunit for wordpress, where I can’t call _handleAjax more than once in a test. I have to call it at most once in a test otherwise I encounter issues.

My test file is as follows:

class AjaxTest extends WP_Ajax_UnitTestCase {

        public function test_submission_verification() {

		global $_POST;
		$_POST['directory_id'] = 'ded88';
		$_POST['page'] = '1';
		$_POST['sorting'] = 'random';
		$_POST['gmt_offset'] = '0';
		$_POST['post_refferer'] = '53';
		$_POST['nonce'] = wp_create_nonce( 'um-frontend-nonce' );
		$_POST['action'] = 'um_get_members';
		try {
			$this->_handleAjax( 'um_get_members' );
		} catch ( WPAjaxDieStopException | WPAjaxDieContinueException $e ) {
                        // We expected this, do nothing.
                }
                //so far so good
                try {
			$this->_handleAjax( 'um_get_members' );
		} catch ( WPAjaxDieStopException | WPAjaxDieContinueException $e ) {
                        // We expected this, do nothing.
                }
		//mayhem
	}
}			

I’ve looked at the code inside the WP_Ajax_UnitTestCase class and it seems _handleAjax is built to be called once in a test and thats it:

protected function _handleAjax( $action ) {

		// Start output buffering.
		ini_set( 'implicit_flush', false );
		ob_start();

		// Build the request.
		$_POST['action'] = $action;
		$_GET['action']  = $action;
		$_REQUEST        = array_merge( $_POST, $_GET );

		// Call the hooks.
		do_action( 'admin_init' );
		do_action( 'wp_ajax_' . $_REQUEST['action'], null );

		// Save the output.
		$buffer = ob_get_clean();
		if ( ! empty( $buffer ) ) {
			$this->_last_response = $buffer;
		}
	}

So I’ve tried removing do_action( 'admin_init' ); from the function but unfortunately there’s still problems.

Issue is that for these phpunit tests wordpress is bootstrapped and setup for each test and I cant re-boostrap it in the middle of a test so changes made to classes and global functions remain throughout the test. I’ve tried doing $this->tear_down() ; $this->set_up() ; but those functions can only do so much.

Is there any way to get around this, how can I make multiple ajax calls to in one test function?

Thank you.

UPDATE: _handleAjax cant be called more than once in different tests from different files even.
