PHPUnit Extension Skeleton
==========================

[](#phpunit-extension-skeleton)

A skeleton for an extension for [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/). It provides the necessary files and build scripts. Here is a ["Hello World" example](https://github.com/ThomasWeinert/phpunit-extension-skeleton-example) based on this skeleton that implements a simple constraint and assertion for PHPUnit. .

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

[](#requirements)

- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
- [Phive](https://phar.io/)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to create a new extension project from this skeleton.

```
$ composer create-project thomasweinert/phpunit-extension-skeleton your-awesome-extension

```

Go into the new project directory.

```
$ cd your-awesome-extension

```

Install tools used to build and package your extension using Phive.

```
$ phive install

```

Start adding new

Build Targets
-------------

[](#build-targets)

The repository includes a [Phing](https://www.phing.info/) build file. Phive installs Phing and the other tools into the `tools/` subdirectory.

### build

[](#build)

```
$ tools/phing build

```

Create a Phar package for the extension. The phar will be put into the `build/` directory. The name and information for a Phive `manifest.xml` will be read from the `composer.json`. The latest tag from current Git branch will be used as version number.

### clean

[](#clean)

```
$ tools/phing clean

```

Delete build artifacts.

### package

[](#package)

```
$ tools/phing package

```

Create a Phar package for the extension and sign it using GPG. the first time you will be asked GPG user. The user will be stored in the `build.properties` file.

[](#reformat)

```
$ tools/phing reformat

```

Uses the [PHP Coding Standards Fixer](https://cs.sensiolabs.org/) to reformat the source code according the PHPUnit coding standard.
