Trait adding access method through reflection for tests

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require --dev i3bepb/reflection-for-test

```

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

When need call private method and check result in test, you can use trait **AccessToMethod**. Example:

```

use I3bepb\ReflectionForTest\AccessToMethod;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class AnyTest extends TestCase
{
    use AccessToMethod;

    /**
     * Any test.
     *
     * @test
     *
     * @throws \ReflectionException
     */
    public function any_test()
    {
        $object = new ClassWithPrivateMethod();

        // In $resultPrivateMethod result after call private method
        $resultPrivateMethod = $this->privateMethodWithParameters($object, 'privateMethod', ['abc', 123]);

        // Any test...
    }
```

Tests through docker
--------------------

[](#tests-through-docker)

Download image

```
docker pull php:7.0.33-cli-alpine

```

Run container with volume into

```
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app -w /app php:7.0.33-cli-alpine sh

```

Into container get composer -

```
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '55ce33d7678c5a611085589f1f3ddf8b3c52d662cd01d4ba75c0ee0459970c2200a51f492d557530c71c15d8dba01eae') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

```

Now exist file **composer.phar** and you can download dependencies

```
php composer.phar install

```

Run tests

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit

```
