README

Allows to use attributes to define global variables in PHPUnit test cases.

Build

Supported attributes:

  • #[Env] for $_ENV
  • #[Server] for $_SERVER
  • #[Putenv] for putenv()

Supported annotations:

  • @env and @unset-env for $_ENV
  • @server and @unset-server for $_SERVER
  • @putenv and @unset-getenv for putenv()

Annotations are deprecated since v3.1.0 and will be removed in v3.4.0. The latest annotation support is planned to be removed is when PHPUnit 12 is released. Annotation support is complete, so if you plan on using them keep using v3.3 of this package.

Global variables are set before each test case is executed, and brought to the original state after each test case has finished. The same applies to putenv()/getenv() calls.

Installation

Composer

composer require --dev zalas/phpunit-globals

Phar

The extension is also distributed as a PHAR, which can be downloaded from the most recent Github Release.

Put the extension in your PHPUnit extensions directory. Remember to instruct PHPUnit to load extensions in your phpunit.xml using the extensionsDirectory attribute:

<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file://./vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit.xsd"
         extensionsDirectory="tools/phpunit.d"
>
</phpunit>

Usage

Enable the globals attribute extension in your PHPUnit configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit ...>

    <!-- ... -->

    <extensions>
        <bootstrap class="Zalas\PHPUnit\Globals\AttributeExtension" />
    </extensions>
</phpunit>

If you are using a version before PHP 8.1 you can use the AnnotationExtension instead.

Make sure the AttributeExtension is registered before any other extensions that might depend on global variables.

Global variables can now be defined in attributes:

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;
use Zalas\PHPUnit\Globals\Attribute\Env;
use Zalas\PHPUnit\Globals\Attribute\Server;
use Zalas\PHPUnit\Globals\Attribute\Putenv;

 #[Env('FOO', 'bar')]
class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    #[Env('APP_ENV', 'foo')]
    #[Env('APP_DEBUG', '0')]
    #[Server('APP_ENV', 'bar')]
    #[Server('APP_DEBUG', '1')]
    #[Putenv('APP_HOST', 'localhost')]
    public function test_global_variables()
    {
        $this->assertSame('bar', $_ENV['FOO']);
        $this->assertSame('foo', $_ENV['APP_ENV']);
        $this->assertSame('0', $_ENV['APP_DEBUG']);
        $this->assertSame('bar', $_SERVER['APP_ENV']);
        $this->assertSame('1', $_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']);
        $this->assertSame('localhost', \getenv('APP_HOST'));
    }
}

It's also possible to mark an attribute with unset so it will not be present in any of the global variables:

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    #[Env('APP_ENV', unset: true)]
    #[Server('APP_DEBUG', unset: true)]
    #[Putenv('APP_HOST', unset: true)]
    public function test_global_variables()
    {
        $this->assertArrayNotHasKey('APP_ENV', $_ENV);
        $this->assertArrayNotHasKey('APP_DEBUG', $_SERVER);
        $this->assertArrayNotHasKey('APP_HOST', \getenv());
    }
}

Updating to PHPUnit 10

When updating from a previous version of this extension dedicated to work with PHPUnit 9, replace the extension registration in phpunit.xml:

    <extensions>
        <extension class="Zalas\PHPUnit\Globals\AttributeExtension" />
    </extensions>

with:

    <extensions>
        <bootstrap class="Zalas\PHPUnit\Globals\AttributeExtension" />
    </extensions>
