php - PHPUnit how to avoid "OutOfRangeException" in __construct()

I have a PHP unit that looks like this:

class Challenge1Test extends TestCase
{
    /**
     * @dataProvider invalidConstructorValues
     */
    public function test_throws_exception_for_initial_value(int $value): void
    {
        $this->expectException(\OutOfRangeException::class);
        new ImmutableWeekDay($value);
    }
//...
}
Copy code

It's testing the __construct() of my class and if the value is out of range is gives back OutOfRangeException. I am testing with data that is expected to throw that error.

/**
 * @throws \OutOfRangeException
 */
public function __construct(int $value)
{
    $this->value = $value;
}
Copy code

The above gives the expected error on bad data entry.

I am trying to pass the test so I am only initializing that var when it meets the range requirement

/**
 * @throws \OutOfRangeException
 */
public function __construct(int $value)
{
    $refl = new \ReflectionClass($this);

    $this->value = null;

    foreach($refl->getConstants() as $k=> $v){
        if ($v = $value){
            $this->value = $value;
        }
    }
}
Copy code

But I still get the out of range exception on bad data. Is there a way in my controller without modifying the test to pass it?
