   So, i have not found a way to bound some implementation to serviceContainer during testing. It's strange for me.

   So you're trying to unit test a controller class with dependency injections using Inject DI and mocking some dependency, that's right?

   I was looking for this last week and found on php-di documentation that it is within best practices not to unit-test controllers that way.

   Not sure if it's the right way of doing this, but i found a work around by reflecting the dependency propriety and setting its value to a mocked version of it.

   It looks like this.

           $controller = new UserController();
           $queryServiceMock  = $this->createMock(QueryService::class);
   
           $queryServiceMock->method('appByKeyAndDomain')->willReturn((object)[
               'id' => 1,
               'key' => 'test',
               'timezone' => 'UTC'
           ]);
   
           $reflectedController = new \ReflectionClass('App\Controller\UserController');
           $dependency = $reflectedController->getProperty('queryService');
           $dependency->setAccessible(true);
           $dependency->setValue($controller, $queryServiceMock);
   
           $this->asserTrue(true);
