How NOT to tests PHP 5.4 traits with PHPUnit.

HashCodeTraitImpl.php

        $this->assertRegExp($expected, $actual);
    }

    /**

    public function testHashCodeIsSameForSameObject()
    {
        $expected = $this->traitObject->hashCode();
        $actual = $this->traitObject->hashCode();

        $this->assertEquals($expected, $actual);
    }

    /**

    public function testHashCodeIsDifferentForDifferentObject()
    {
        $expected = $this->traitObject->hashCode();
        $anotherTraitObject = new HashCodeTraitImpl;
        $actual = $anotherTraitObject->hashCode();

        $this->assertNotEquals($expected, $actual);
    }
}

Since I stumbled on this in google, here's how you test your trait for other people who will end up here:

class HashCodeTraitTest extends TestCase
{
    /**
     * @var HashCodeTrait
     */
    private $traitObject;

    public function setUp()
    {
        $this->traitObject = $this->getMockForTrait(HashCodeTrait::class);
    }

    public function testHashCodeIsSameForSameObject()
    {
        $expected = $this->traitObject->hashCode();
        $actual = $this->traitObject->hashCode();

        $this->assertEquals($expected, $actual);
    }
}
