After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package assert-golden

assertGolden Assertion

GitHub Release GitHub Actions Workflow Status Packagist Downloads

Same as assertEquals, but when null is given as argument, the test file is automatically edited and null is substituted with the actual value

Given the following code:

...during the first execution null replaced with the actual value:

In principle, it's about saving oneself the recurring work of writing, updating and copying an expectation.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Usage

Just pass null to the assertGolden expectation and null will be automatically replaced during the first test run.

Trait Usage

Function Usage

Later you can edit the expectation by hand or insert null again to have it automatically replaced.

Regenerate all expectations

If you want to regenerate all expectations at once you can add the argument: --update-golden to your phpunit invocation.

Limitation

It is not possible to have more than one assertGolden call on one line. Because the automatic replacement is based on the debug_backtrace function, which gives us the line number and file of the assertGolden caller, and the composer package nikic/php-parser, which is used to get the exact start and end position of the expectation argument. So if there are more than one assertGolden call it is not possible to detect a distinct position.
