Introduction ------------ [](#introduction) This projects contains various traits that offer convenience methods for tasks that occur when creating test code. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require 'potherca/phpunit-testcase-traits' ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Add a `use` statement for a desired trait to a class definition. The public API of that trait can then be used in the defined class. For full details on how to use traits, please refer to [the section on traits in the PHP manual](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php). ### PHP 5.3 compatibility [](#php-53-compatibility) Traits were not introduced until PHP5.4 so for older versions (i.e. PHP5.3) another way to load the trait's functionality is needed. A `traitShim` function is provided that can be used from a [magic `__call` method](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.call). This is done by adding the following code to each (abstract base) test-case were a Trait is to be used(1): ``` class ExampleTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase { // .... final public function __call($name, array $parameters) { return \Potherca\PhpUnit\Shim\Util::traitShim($this, $name, $parameters); } // .... } ``` The public API of *all* traits can then be used. In order to aid text-editors and IDEs in offering auto-completion, the following doc-block can be added to the test-case class: ``` /** * @method array[] createDataProvider(array $subject) * @method \PHPUnit_Framework_MockObject_MockObject | \PHPUnit\Framework\MockObject\MockObject createObjectFromAbstractClass($className) * @method string getCompatibleExceptionName($exceptionName) * @method void setDataProviderMaximumKeyLength($length) * @method void setDataProviderSortByKey($sort) * @method void setNonPublicProperty($subject, $name, $value) */ ``` (1) Alternatively, the `src/Shim/function.traitShim.php` could be [loaded using composer's autoloader](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#files). Available traits ---------------- [](#available-traits) - **CreateDataProviderTrait** -- *Create data-provider arrays.* Creates a `key/value` pair from a given one-dimensional array of values, which is meant to be returned from a data-provider method in a TestCase. - **CreateObjectFromAbstractClassTrait** -- *Create an object instance from an abstract class.* Creates a concrete object whose methods can be called and, thus, be tested. - **GetCompatibleExceptionNameTrait** -- *Provide names of PHP5 compatible `PHPUnit_Framework_Exception` for (new) PHP7 Exceptions.* - **SetNonPublicPropertyTrait** -- *Change the value of a non-public class properties.* Functioning usage examples are available in the [`example`](./example) directory. All examples can be run with `phpunit`. Simply use the `--config` flag to point to the desired config file (either `example-php-phpunit.xml` for the traits or `example-php53-phpunit.xml` for the PHP5.3 compatible Trait shims).
