togos/simpler-test

A simple unit test framework to support PHPUnit-like tests

PHPSimplerTest, a.k.a. togos/simpler-test

Nearly drop-in replacement for PHPUnit, assuming you're only extending TestCase and and calling assert{True,False,Equals,NotEquals,Null,NotNull} from testX methods., _(*1)

Advantage over PHPUnit: No dependencies aside from PHP itself. Theoretically works with PHP 5.2, though this is no longer demonstrated by Travis CI because they keep breaking things., _(*2)

Inherit from TOGoS_SimplerTest_TestCase, name your test case classes and source files following the naming rules, and use phpsimplertest to run your tests from the command-line., _(*3)

For examples, see PHPSimplerTest's own tests and Makefile., _(*4)

Installing

Using composer:, _(*5)

composer require phpsimplertest=^1.2

Naming Rules

To be found by TestFinder: - test classes must be defined in source files whose names end with "Test.php" - test class names must end with "Test", _(*6)

Running

Assuming you have used Composer to install phpsimplest and that you have a source directory, src/test/php, containing source code for test case classes:, _(*7)

vendor/bin/phpsimplertest --bootstrap=vendor/autoload.php --colorful-output src/test/php

--colorful-output results in a nice green line of text being output when all goes well. If you are running tests as part a script, you probably want to omit that., _(*8)
