Vicious Mockery extension for PHPUnit
=====================================

[](#vicious-mockery-extension-for-phpunit)

This project is in no way endorsed or associated with PHPUnit, nor is it endorsed or associated with Wizards of the Coast / D&D. It is just an extension to lightly insult you when your tests fail.

Thanks to [Froggy](https://twitter.com/Froggymakes) for the name idea!

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

[](#installation)

Install via composer:

`composer require brunty/phpunit-vicious-mockery --dev`

Then configure it as a PHPUnit extension in your PHPUnit configuration file:

```

```

Now when your tests fail it will produce a random insult for you and your failures:

```
...............................................................  63 / 128 ( 49%)
............................................................... 126 / 128 ( 98%)
F.                                                              128 / 128 (100%)

Vicious Mockery!
class YourCode implements Incompetence
