Running Tests

[](#running-tests)

Running tests requires php unit and setting up environment variables for authentication:

First, run composer to install dependencies:

```
composer install
```

Then set up environmental variables for authentication:

```
export LIPISHA_API_KEY=""
export LIPISHA_API_SIGNATURE=""
```

Run the tests:

```
phpunit tests/LipishaTest.php
```

Majority of tests require setting up parameters in the test suite.

See class documentation for detailed API. Refer to Lipisha API for parameters required for each method.
