README

This plugin provides a way to easily define and implement contract tests in Pest. To learn more about what contract tests are and when you might use them, check out this blog post I wrote.

Installation

Install the plugin via composer:

composer require sassnowski/pest-plugin-contract-tests

Usage

To define a new contract test suite, you may use the contractTest function provided by the plugin.

// tests/Contracts/FilesystemContract.php

<?php

use function Sassnowski\PestContractTests\contractTest;

contractTest(Filesystem::class, function (Closure $getInstance) {
    it('can save a file for the first time', function () use ($getInstance) {
        /** @var Filesystem $fs */
        $fs = $getInstance();
        
        expect($fs->fileExists('::filename::'))->toBeFalse();
        
        $fs->storeFile(
            new MockFile('::contents::'),
            '::filename::',
        );
        
        expect($fs->fileExists('::filename::'))->toBeTrue();
    });
    
    it('throws an exception if a file with the same name already exists', function () use ($getInstance) {
        /** @var Filesystem $fs */
        $fs = $getInstance();

        $fs->storeFile(
            new MockFile('::contents::'),
            '::filename::'
        );

        // Trying to store another file with the same name should blow up.
        $fs->storeFile(
            new MockFile('::contents::'),
            '::filename::'
        ); 
    })->throws(
        FileAlreadyExistsException::class,
        "The file '::filename::' already exists"
    );
});

The contractTest method takes two parameters:

1. The name of the contract test. While this can be any string, it is recommended to use the fully-qualified class name (FQCN) of the interface described by the contract test.
2. A closure that defines the actual test cases for the contract. Everything inside this closure works exactly like vanilla Pest. So, you can use all goodies you're used to like higher-order tests or the throws method to check for exceptions.

Calling contractTests doesn't actually register any tests it. All it does is make the contract tests available to be used inside other test files. To actually register the tests for a particular class, you may use the implementsContract function.

// tests/InMemoryFilesystemTest.php

<?php

use function Sassnowski\PestContractTests\implementsContract;

implementsContract(Filesystem::class, fn () => new InMemoryFilesystem());

The implementsContract function takes the name of the contract test, as well as a factory function which needs to return an instance of the class you want to test. This factory function is the $getInstance parameter that gets passed to the second parameter of the contractTest function.

This will now register all test cases that were registered inside the contract name for the InMemoryFilesystem class.

$ vendor/bin/pest

PASS Tests\InMemoryFilesystemTest

✓ it can save a file for the first time                   0.12s
✓ it throws an exception if a file with the same name al… 0.08s
