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.
Informations about the package timedilation
TimeDilation/TimeMachine - mocking time() for PHPUnit
TimeDilation/TimeMachine helps you when you need to test time()-constrained code in PHPUnit. It only works for PHP 5.3 namespaced classes/code.
Usage
Write your unit tests in the namespace TimeDilation and use the methods of TimeMachine to mock time. Basic Example:
Testing a class that uses time():
If you wanted to write a Unit-Test for the above Buffer class the Unit-Test would at least take a second to complete because that would be the minimum buffer time. If you wanted to test with the default buffer time the test would take at least 10 seconds essentially just waiting. With TimeDilation/TimeMachine the class could be tested as follows:
Thanks to TimeMachine this test will execute in a fraction of a second allthough the complete class is tested the class does not need to be modified to support fancy time-mocking. I think you can easily come up with more/better examples on where this could be useful.
Since this is still very young code there may very well be some bugs hidden. If you find something not working correctly, add an issue or propose a fix through a fork and pull-request!
Caveats
- It only works for PHP 5.3 namespaced classes/code.
- Does not work with DateTime class of php.
Roadmap
- Implement time-warping. (Override sleep() and usleep() so that they return immediatly but time is forwarded as much as the sleep should have lasted)
- Research ways of mocking DateTime class.
