Luckily there's [Collision](https://github.com/nunomaduro/collision). This package is designed to give you beautiful error reporting when interacting with your app through the command line. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require robiningelbrecht/phpunit-pretty-print --dev ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Navigate to your `phpunit.xml.dist` file and add following config to set default options (you can also set these options at run time): ``` ``` Also make sure the `color` attribute is set to `true`: ``` ``` Options ------- [](#options) All these options can be set at runtime as well, see [usage](#usage). ### Output profiling report [](#output-profiling-report) ``` ``` ### Enable compact mode [](#enable-compact-mode) ``` ``` ### Feel good about yourself after running your testsuite by displaying a Chuck Noris quote [](#feel-good-about-yourself-after-running-your-testsuite-by-displaying-a-chuck-noris-quote) ``` ``` ### Disable pretty print. [](#disable-pretty-print) This can be useful when you only want to prettify the output when forced via CLI (see [usage](#usage)). ``` ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` > vendor/bin/phpunit ``` [![Example default](readme/example-default.png)](readme/example-default.png) ### Output profiling report [](#output-profiling-report-1) ``` > vendor/bin/phpunit -d --profiling ``` [![Example profiling](readme/example-profiling.png)](readme/example-profiling.png) ### Enable compact mode [](#enable-compact-mode-1) ``` > vendor/bin/phpunit -d --compact ``` [![Example compact](readme/example-compact.png)](readme/example-compact.png) ### Display Chuck Norris quote [](#display-chuck-norris-quote) ``` > vendor/bin/phpunit -d --display-quote ``` [![Example quote](readme/example-quote.png)](readme/example-quote.png) ### Enable/disable pretty print [](#enabledisable-pretty-print) ``` > vendor/bin/phpunit -d --enable-pretty-print > vendor/bin/phpunit -d --disable-pretty-print ``` ### Combine multiple options [](#combine-multiple-options) ``` > vendor/bin/phpunit --configuration=tests/phpunit.test.xml -d --compact -d --display-quote ``` PHPUnit 9.x ----------- [](#phpunit-9x) This package does not support PHPUnit 9.x but Collision does out of the box.
