Sofa/laravel-kahlan

Kahlan suite for testing Laravel application providing intuitive kahlan (jasmine based) describe-it syntax with Laravel functional testing goodies., _(*1)

If I'm saving you some time with my work, you can back me up on Patreon page., _(*2)

See usage example on https://github.com/jarektkaczyk/kahlan-driven-laravel, _(*3)

Why I should use the package & how it works?

Take a look at the example spec, _(*4)

First use in 3 steps

Add to your project, _(*5)

composer require --dev sofa/laravel-kahlan:"~5.4"

Add this line to your kahlan config file (create it if necessary):, _(*6)

/*  /path/to/your/app/kahlan-config.php  */
<?php

Sofa\LaravelKahlan\Env::bootstrap($this);

Create your first spec in /spec folder, for example /spec/AppSpec.php and run test suite with vendor/bin/kahlan. Working example can be found on https://github.com/jarektkaczyk/kahlan-driven-laravel, _(*7)

/*  /path/to/your/app/spec/AppSpec.php  */
<?php

describe('My awesome Kahlan driven Laravel app', function () {
    it("provides the same testing API as Laravel's own TestCase", function () {
        $this->laravel->get('/')
                      ->assertSee('Laravel 5')
                      ->assertStatus(200);
    });
}

Optional stuff

Should you need to customize .env variables for the test suite, you have 2 options:, _(*8)
- In the .env.kahlan file for persistent variables
- At runtime:, _(*9)
```
/path/to/app$ vendor/bin/kahlan -env=DB_CONNECTION=sqlite,MAIL_DRIVER=log
```
In your specs you can use all the kahlan features, as well as Laravel testing sugar:, _(*10)
- helpers: app(), event() etc
- Application methods $this->app->method() or $this->laravel->method()
- Laravel TestCase features, eg. $this->laravel->get('/')->assertResponseOk()
- Application instance as either of: $this->app === $this->laravel->app === app()
For tests that don't require Laravel there's --no-laravel cli option, since booting up the application for each test has huge impact on performance:, _(*11)
```
/path/to/app$ vendor/bin/kahlan --spec=spec/unit --no-laravel
```
Alternatively you can provide NO_LARAVEL=true in .env/.env.kahlan file, then you would enable laravel only when necessary:, _(*12)
```
/path/to/app$ vendor/bin/kahlan --spec=spec/functional --no-laravel=false
```

Happy coding!
