How to use mock entitymanager that returns fake repository in controller?

In my test I'm trying to mock the entity manager so it'll return a repository that will not connect to the database but instead return a fake value:

In the test according to this documentation:

  $session = new Session(new MockArraySessionStorage());
  $mockManager = $this
        ->getMockBuilder('\Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager')
        ->disableOriginalConstructor()
        ->getMock();
  $mockManager->expects($this->any())
        ->method('getRepository')
        ->will($this->returnValue(new userRepo()));      
  $client = static::createClient();
  $container = $client->getContainer();
  $container->set('session', $session);
  $container->set('doctrine.orm.entity_manager',$mockManager);
  $client->request('POST', '/secured/login'
      ,array('userName'=>'username','password'=>'password'
      ,'rememberMe'=>'on'));
  $response = $client->getResponse();
  //....

In test, the userRepo:

class userRepo {
  public function isValidUser($userName, $password) {
    echo "this is isvaliduser";
    return $this->getFullUserById(22);
  }
  public function getFullUserById($id){
    echo "this is getfulluserbyid";
    return ["name"=>"someName"];
  }
}

In the controller:

  public function loginAction(Request $request) {
    $userRepo = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager()
        ->getRepository('mytestBundle:User');
    $user=$userRepo->isValidUser($userName,$password);
    $response = new Response();
    //... other code using session and whatnot
    $response->headers->set("Content-Type", 'application/json');
    $response->setContent(json_encode($user));
    return $response;
  }

The fake repository is never used as the echo doesn't show up when I run the test.

Up until creating the mock I think it's working as it should but setting the mock may be the problem $container->set('doctrine.orm.entity_manager',$mockManager); as the controller when calling $this->getDoctrine()->getManager() gets the actual entity manager and not the mock one.

Hmm, every time I spend a lot of time trying to figure stuff out; right after I descide to post a question the answer shows itself in yet another google search and trying that:

Solution was:

  $container->set('doctrine.orm.default_entity_manager', $mockManager);
