Overview
--------

[](#overview)

PHPSpec Testbench is built upon [benconstable/phpspec-laravel](https://github.com/BenConstable/phpspec-laravel) and will bridge the gap between PHPSpec and [orchestral/testbench](https://github.com/orchestral/testbench) by using the Laravel Application fixture as provided by testbench instead of having to need a fully prepared Laravel Application for yourself. With the `phpspec-testbench` extension, you can spec your Laravel Packages easily, whilst keeping all of the functionality that the `phpspec-laravel` extension brings.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHPSpec Testbench is built with Laravel 5 in mind and thus depends on the corresponding L5 compatible versions from `phpspec-laravel` and `orchestral-testbench`. **PHPSpec Testbench does not work with Laravel 4**.

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

[](#installation)

Simply pull in this package via composer:

`composer require pixelindustries/phpspec-testbench --dev`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your `phpspec.yml` file, simply add the `Pixelindustries\PhpspecTestbench\LaravelExtension` to the `extension` array:

```
extensions:
  - Pixelindustries\PhpspecTestbench\LaravelExtension
```

**Please note that this extension should not be used in *addition* to the `phpspec-laravel` extension, but rather as a replacement.**

After the above configuration, simply write your specs the way you are used to, utilizing `phpspec-laravel`'s functionality in the process.

### Custom application class

[](#custom-application-class)

Should you need to do custom routines for the application bootstrapping, such as making sure your own developed service providers are registered, you can utilize the `app_classname` setting for the `laravel_extension` key in your `phpspec.yml` file:

```
laravel_extension:
  app_classname: Acme\Tests\MyCustomApp
```

This gives you the flexibility to implement your own routines in the `getEnvironmentSetUp()` method as provided by [testbench](http://orchestraplatform.com/docs/latest/components/testbench#overriding-setup-method). For example:

```
