FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

You can take a look at example.phpspec.yml
for a good set of sensible phpspec defaults for a Laravel project.
Why this extension?
This extension provides you with a bootstrapped Laravel environment when writing your phpspec tests.
It allows you to make use of some of the nice features that Laravel provides, like class aliases and helper functions, without being hindered by your testing framework.
This extension is not a swap-in replacement for Laravel's built in PHPUnit setup. If you'd like integration and/or functional tests, please use that, Behat, or Codeception.
Configuration
Testing environment
By default, the extension bootstraps Laravel in the testing environment. You
can change this to production (or whatever you like) by setting:
in your phpspec.yml.
App bootstrap path
By default, the extension will bootstrap your app by looking for bootstrap/app.php
in the directory above vendor/. This is the default location that Laravel
provides.
You can manually specify the path to the bootstrap file if you're using a non-standard installation, like so:
You can specify either an absolute path (use leading slash), or a path relative
to the vendor/ directory.
Usage
Testing without Laravel
If you're not using any code specific to the Laravel environment, then you don't need to do anything differently. Just write your phpspec tests as normal!
Testing with Laravel
If you want to take advantage of Laravel's aliases, or use some of its
helper functions, extend your specs
from PhpSpec\Laravel\LaravelObjectBehavior. This will prevent errors when
testing.
For example, this class uses an alias:
and without extending from PhpSpec\Laravel\LaravelObjectBehavior:
you'll get Fatal error: Class 'Inspiring' not found.... But extending from PhpSpec\Laravel\LaravelObjectBehavior:
you'll get ✔ inspires backwards.
and this class uses a helper function:
and without extending from PhpSpec\Laravel\LaravelObjectBehavior:
you'll get Fatal error: Call to a member function make() on a non-object....
But extending from PhpSpec\Laravel\LaravelObjectBehavior:
you'll get ✔ encrypts a string.
Accessing the IoC container
If you need to access the Service Container
in your specs, just use the app() helper!

Laracasts has some great guides on phpspec and Laravel. 'Laravel, phpspec and refactoring' is a good starting point; it shows how you should use phpspec with Laravel, and covers the basics of writing tests (and it's free!).
