EntityManager: add setRepository() method

[maxim-oleinik]

Goal is to have opportunity to set mocked repo.

// PHPUnit
$repo = $this->getMock('ArticleRepository', array('findActiveByAuthor'), array($em, $metadata));
$repo->expects($this->once())
     ->method('findActiveByAuthor');
$em->setRepository($entityName, $repo);

// Proxy call
$author->getArticles();

imho rejected. It only blows up the API.

You have to mock the entity manager for this, and testing proxy calls is nothing you should do. Proxies are a Doctrine feature, tested by doctrine, you should only functinoally test them.

Sorry, not D2 proxy. See:

$author->getArticles() {
    return $this->getEntityManager()
        ->getRepository('ArticleRepository')
        ->findActiveByAuthor($this);
}

I won't merge this. Adding setRepository() serves no other purpose than for testing reasons, yet there are other solutions.

You could also just mock the entity manager and have it return the repository mock. Its a bit more difficult, but thats a problem of the PHPUnit Mock complexity.

Ok, I'll try another ways. Thanks.
