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.

Informations about the package pw-test-helper

ProcessWire Test Helper

Helper classes to enable automatic test db setup and browser testing with ProcessWire. The core classes should be usable by any testing framework, but currently the only real implementation is using kahlan/kahlan.

To install run the following in the terminal:

composer require --dev lostkobrakai/pw-test-helper

Kahlan

Install Kahlan also via composer:

composer require --dev kahlan/kahlan

Create or update your kahlan-config.php

The database part does setup the test database and includes a bootstrapped processwire instance in kahlan. It's accessable in tests like this:

The browser testing is implemented by using Behat/Mink, so there are only some helper function to kick off things. Otherwise it's api is documented for the Mink package. The current driver is zombie. A headless node based driver which is quite fast. It does require npm i zombie --save-dev to be present.

When using browsertesting the request by default doesn't know anything about the temporary test database. Therefore this is needed in your config.php below the actual database config. This way the request can processwire to use the test db instead of your normal one.

When using InnoDB it's besides the already temporary test database possible to use database transactions to avoid having sideeffects in test. With the following db changes are revoked after each test.
