php - how to mock model->save()?

I need to mock a db model that calls the function save().

Test

//Setup function  
$this->jobAccessor      = Mockery::mock(JobAccessor::class);
$this->job              = Mockery::mock(Job::class);
$this->app->instance('App\Models\Job',          $this->job);
$this->app->instance('App\Data\JobAccessor',    $this->jobAccessor);


//testing function
$job = new Job([
        'id'            => 22,
        'user_id'       => 123
    ]);

$this->jobAccessor->shouldReceive('find')
   ->with($jobId)
   ->andReturns($job);

$this->job->shouldReceive('save')->once();
Copy code

function to test

 $job = $this->jobAccessor->find($this->id);

 //do stuff with job then save

 $job->save(); //how do I mock save here?
Copy code

How can i mock$job->save(); the way i done above doesnt work. I get the following errorsIlluminate\Database\QueryException: could not find driver. It's trying to access the database still.
