[](#beautify-specify)

Note: This is kiiind of hackaround. But it works.

Output
------

[](#output)

[![Image of BeautifySpecify Output](./BeautifySpecify.png)](./BeautifySpecify.png)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev barthy-koeln/beautify-specify
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the following to your `phpunit.xml`:

```

```

Please note that currently the only task of this result printer is not printing any progress or failures. The output is handled entirely in the Specify wrapper.

For each test case, replace any `Specify` trait with the trait provided by this library. Then, use the Specify framework as always and as [described in the documentation](https://github.com/Codeception/Specify).

Example:
--------

[](#example)

```
use BarthyKoeln\BeautifySpecify\Specify;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class SomeClassTest extends TestCase
{
    use Specify;

    public function testValidation()
    {
        $this->describe(
            'SomeClass',
            function () {
                $this->it(
                    'has the correct default values',
                    function () {
                        $this->assertEquals([3.14159,  2.71828], $this->someClass->getValues());
                    }
                );

                // […]

            }
        );
    }
}
```
