Mock Illuminate Config facade without Laravel

I'm working on a package that relies on the Config facade. The code itself works fine, but I'm encountering issues when testing.

Initially, I was using this code:

Config::shouldReceive('foo.bar')
    ->andReturn(true);

As many others, I bumped into some issues.

I later read that mocking the Config facade isn't encouraged.

To get around it, most people tend to suggest to use the following instead:

Config::set('foo.bar', true);

Which I reckon works fine, if you're testing from Laravel/Lumen.

But my issue is, I'm not. I just rely on a few Illuminate packages, so that won't work since I get: RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set.

At this point, some might suggest that I should just inject the Config repository dependency, but I'm using the Config facade in a trait which is used by an Eloquent model, so DI won't work.

Is there any other way I can tackle this?

Thanks!
