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.

Double Colon Syntax for PHPUnit

PHPUnit doesn't natively support the file::method syntax commonly used in other testing frameworks, such as pytest (pytest test_file.py::test_method). However, I found that AI assistants frequently suggest this syntax and even strongly believe this syntax is a thing (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude), which is bonkers.

So it was always frustrating to see how an assistant generates a command using this syntax and fails, day after day, wasting time, tokens, context window, and my attention. Not anymore.

Now everyone can run individual test methods using the familiar file::method syntax:

But before...

Installation

That's it! No configuration needed. Works with PHPUnit 6 and above.

Usage

It works with multiple methods:

It does not work with --filter: you have to choose this or that syntax, not both.

How It Works

Uses Composer's autoloader to intercept and transform arguments before PHPUnit starts. The file::method syntax becomes file --filter method automatically. It targets specifically vendor/bin/phpunit and ignores everything else.
