Pest Plugin Silence =================== [](#pest-plugin-silence) [![Tests](https://github.com/worksome/pest-plugin-silence/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/worksome/pest-plugin-silence/actions/workflows/tests.yml)[![PHPStan](https://github.com/worksome/pest-plugin-silence/actions/workflows/static.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/worksome/pest-plugin-silence/actions/workflows/static.yml) Often, when writing tests, we `echo` and `dump` test code to debug and check everything is working correctly. It can be easy to forget to remove those statements when you've finished, which can lead to a lot of messy output in your test results. Yuk! Silence is a lightweight plugin for [Pest](https://pestphp.com) that will cause any test that `echo`s or `dump`s to the console to fail, meaning that you'll never forget to remove those statements from your codebase.

However, it's simple to enable it for your project using one of two methods. ### Enable with an environment variable [](#enable-with-an-environment-variable) You can enable Silence using the `PREVENT_OUTPUT` environment variable whilst running your tests. You may add this to your `phpunit.xml`. ``` ``` ### Enable manually in your test or `TestCase` [](#enable-manually-in-your-test-or-testcase) Alternatively, for a more selective approach, you may enable Silence in your test or `TestCase` using the `Silence::preventOutput()` method. ``` use Worksome\PestPluginSilence\Silence; it('just works', function () { Silence::preventOutput(); echo "Uh-oh!" expect(true)->toBeTrue(); }); ``` If you want to manually enable Silence for every test, place it in the `setUp` method of your `TestCase`. ``` class TestCase extends BaseTestCase { public function setUp(): void { parent::setUp(); Silence::preventOutput(); } } ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) Silence is fully tested, and also implements strict static analysis. You can run the test suite using our test script: ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
