togos / simpler-test
A simple unit test framework to support PHPUnit-like tests
Requires
- php: >=5.2
README
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.
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.
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.
For examples, see PHPSimplerTest's own tests and Makefile.
Installing
Using composer:
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"
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:
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.
