You can create a mock-up and use it instead of real xclip binary.

Sounds interesting, Max, can you show the code?

Unless you need to test subtle issues like

  https://github.com/astrand/xclip/issues/20
  "Not closing stdout when setting clipboard from stdin"

faced by e.g. tmux users, something simple should be enough:

#!/bin/sh -eu
: "${XCLIP_MOCK_FILE:=$HOME/.xclip-mock}"

while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
	case "$1" in
		-i|-in)
			;;
		-o|--out) exec cat -- "$XCLIP_MOCK_FILE"
			;;
		-selection|-target) shift
			;;
		*) # FIXME xclip treats all unknown options at any position as files
			break
			;;
	esac
	shift
done
exec cat -- "$@" >"$XCLIP_MOCK_FILE"
