This package provides an implementation of the [PHPUnit\_Framework\_TestListener](https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/extending-phpunit.html#extending-phpunit.PHPUnit_Framework_TestListener) interface interacting with a [blink(1)](https://blink1.thingm.com/) USB notification LED light. It provides you a fast, visual feedback loop while TDDing with PHPUnit.

With this test listener a failing PHPUnit test run will turn the LED light **red**, while a successful one will make it blink **green**, and while incomplete, skipped, or risky tests will make it blink **yellow**.

#### Preconditions

[](#preconditions)

This package assumes that the [blink1-tool](https://github.com/todbot/blink1#blink1-tool) is installed on your system to enable the communication with your `blink(1)` LED light. On Mac OS, the targeted system of this package, this can be done easily via `brew`.

```
brew install blink1
```

#### Installation via Composer

[](#installation-via-composer)

```
composer require --dev stolt/phpunit-blink1-test-listener
```

#### Configuration

[](#configuration)

To use the blink(1) test listener with its **default** configuration add the following to your `phpunit.xml(.dist)` file.

```

```

It's possible to configure the blink amount (default is three) of the test state colors. Furthermore it's also possible to overwrite the behavior of the failure test state (default is a permanently turned on LED until a test state transition happens) to uniflow with the other test states.

```

```
