phpspec - check if a method was called with a specific argument (object)

Question

I am writing a PHPspec test where want to test if a method was called with the correct argument (in the case an object).

I am doing something like this (pseudo code), inside my spec:

function it_some_test(MyService $myservice) {
    $object = new MyDomainObject();
    $object->setPropertyX("some value")

    $myservice->getSomething($object)->shouldBeCalled();

}

The object is just a DTO created inside my service. Its created exactly the same way in the original Service. Just the value of some properties change based on same logic. thats what I want to test.

The problem is my test is always failing because it says the $object is different from what it was excepting but they have exactly the same properties values.

How does PHPspec compares objects? If I pass Argument::any() instead it works but I need to test the object passed as a property with a specific value.

I found the issue. I was calling the method ->shouldBeCalled() before calling the real method under test. Change the order and it works now.
