phpcov-runner
=============

[](#phpcov-runner)

**phpcov-runner** is a command-line tool which allows you to analyse multiple PHP files using [PHPCOV](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpcov).

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

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

Simply add a dependency on `legovaer/phpcov-runner` to your project's `composer.json` file if you use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to manage the dependencies of your project. Here is a minimal example of a `composer.json` file that just defines a development-time dependency on PHPCOV-Runner:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "legovaer/phpcov-runner": "*"
    }
}

```

For a system-wide installation via Composer, you can run:

```
composer global require 'legovaer/phpcov-runner=*'

```

Make sure you have `~/.composer/vendor/bin/ in your path.

Usage

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);
require "autocoverage.php";

```

#### When using the application as a local dependency

[](#when-using-the-application-as-a-local-dependency)

```
$path = __DIR__ . '/vendor/legovaer/phpcov-runner/lib";
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);
require "autocoverage.php";

```

### Stop runner & generate report

[](#stop-runner--generate-report)
