How to mock pagination

Hi! I am trying to mock my pagination. Here I have PostsRepository and in method all() there is code like this: return $this->_post->paginate(20);

How could I test this?

In my test I have: $posts = new Collection([new Post, new Post]); $this->_repo->shouldReceive('all')->once()->andReturn($posts);

.. and this tests are failing with error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::links()

So, how to mock this paginator correctly? Thanks

Update:

Got this with:

$posts = [new Post, new Post];
$links = '<ul><li>1</li><li>2</li></ul>';

$this->_repo
 ->shouldReceive('all')->once()->andReturn(Mockery::mock([
  'getCollection' => $posts,
  'links' => $links
 ]));

But still... is there some more elegant solution?
