Use Gulp (gulpjs.com) to run PHPUnit Tests on saved file

Submitted by residualflash - 10 years ago

Gulp is a javascript taskrunner (like Grunt) using Nodejs. You can use it to automatically run PHPUnit tests on saved files. Ex: Save Foo.php and run FooTest.php automatically. Link to gist: https://gist.github.com/varghesejacob/56e2637dcb5cd2bc4b51

IMPORANT!! READ THIS!!
 
This will only work if you namespace your unit tests like this.
- Tests for 'Foo' class needs to be named 'FooTest'
- 'FooTest' needs to be in the same namespace as 'Foo'
- User psr-4 autoloading to facilitate this
 
  app/Acme/Foo.php ===> Acme\Foo
  app/tests/unit/FooTest.php ===> Acme\FooTest
 
  composer.json file
    "psr-4": {
        "Acme\\" : "app/tests/unit",
        "Acme\\" : "app/Acme"
    },
 
- set your namespace on the first line in your php file like shown below
  <?php namespace Acme\Foo;
  <?php namespace Acme\FooTest;
 
  ** This script reads the first line and extracts the namespace so its important that you put your
     namespace exactly like shown above **
 
- I have only tested this on a windows environment!
