Lucinda Unit Testing
====================

[](#lucinda-unit-testing)

Lightweight PHP 8.1 unit testing library with no package dependencies. It reads an XML configuration, mirrors source classes into test classes, runs matching test methods, and reports `Lucinda\UnitTest\Result` objects in the console or as JSON.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 or newer
- PHP extensions: `SimpleXML`, `cURL`, `PDO`, `tokenizer`
- Composer PSR-4 autoloading for `Lucinda\UnitTest\`

Install it in the project that owns the code you want to test:

```
composer require lucinda/unit-testing
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Create an XML file, commonly `unit-tests.xml`, that describes one or more source/test folder pairs:

```

```

`unit_tests` is required. Each `unit_test` entry requires `sources` and `tests` tags with non-empty `namespace` attributes. The `path` attributes default to `src` and `tests`; the source path must already exist, while a missing tests path is created automatically.

The **optional** `servers/sql/{environment}/server` entry configures the SQL validator. The environment name is the second argument passed to a controller, for example `local`.

Running Tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

Create a small runner script in the consuming project:

```
