README
A concrete class that extends PHPUnit\Framework\Assert so that it can be instantiated as a class and used as an object.
See my User Story where I first used this package in a project.
Do you really need it?
I started this project to make typing assertion invocations easier. As I implemented my idea I started to doubt if the project was worthwhile. So, bear in mind. This project might be pointless and you might be better of not using it. Meanwhile, I had started so I had to finish it.
If you just want a short name for that class you could use
the short version of the name.
See: Using namespaces: Aliasing/Importing
use PHPUnit\Framework\Assert;
Is the same as:
use PHPUnit\Framework\Assert as Assert;
So assertions could be invoked in just a few characters:
Assert::assertTrue($foo);
Install via Composer
You can add concrete-php-assert
as a local, per-project, development-time dependency to your project using Composer:
$ composer require --dev arcus-software/concrete-php-assert
Using ConcreteAssert in your own project
See actual usages of this code within a Behat FeatureContext.php script.
See the FeatureContext
class in this project at:

Developing this project
Clone the repo
Clone this repository from its home on github.
Then, assuming that you have installed Composer, run:
$ composer update
We use Behat to test the basic behaviour of instantiating a concrete instance of PHPUnit\Framework\Assert
. Run Behat tests from this project's root folder with the following command:
$ vendor/bin/behat
