Flowder PHPUnit is a PHPUnit Test Listener for integrating the Flowder fixture loader into PHPUnit test suites.

Usage

1. Install Flowder PHPUnit as a development dependency through Composer

   $ composer install imjoehaines/flowder-phpunit --dev

2. Enable Flowder PHPUnit as a test listener in your phpunit.xml file (PHPUnit documentation)

   <listeners>
     <listener class="\Imjoehaines\Flowder\PhpUnit\FlowderListener"></listener>
   </listeners>

3. Bootstrap Flowder PHPUnit by calling FlowderListener::bootsrap in your PHPUnit bootstrap.php file, passing in an instance of \Imjoehaines\Flowder\Flowder (see the Flowder documentation for more information).

   This is only necessary until PHPUnit #1873 is fixed. After this, you can configure Flowder PHPUnit through your phpunit.xml file instead.

   A simple SQLite example might look like this:

   <?php
   
   require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
   
   use Imjoehaines\Flowder\PhpUnit\FlowderListener;
   
   use Imjoehaines\Flowder\Loader\PhpFileLoader;
   use Imjoehaines\Flowder\Truncator\SqliteTruncator;
   use Imjoehaines\Flowder\Persister\SqlitePersister;
   
   $db = new PDO(...);
   $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
   
   FlowderListener::bootstrap(
       __DIR__ . '/_data/example.php',
       new PhpFileLoader(),
       new SqliteTruncator($db),
       new SqlitePersister($db)
   );

4. That's it! Before any test file runs, Flowder will load your fixture data for you
