Laravel Package Tester

Testing Laravel packages it was never so easy.

Motivation

Testing is essential when developing Laravel third-party packages. An issue arises when you need real services from Laravel (like database or queues, for example) because your package may provide migrations or interact with a queue, and more importantly you want your package to behave like a library and not like a Laravel project, mainly because you want to use it in many Laravel projects.

This package addresses this issue by requiring larave/laravel package and providing a TestCase to help you build your PHPUnit tests.

Install

composer require --dev thytanium/tester

This package doesn't offer any service providers, there's no need for auto-discovery or to manually add a service provider in your config/app.php

Usage

In your tests, extend the class Thytanium\Tests\TestCase and you're good to go.

<?php

namespace Tests;

use Thytanium\Tests\TestCase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
}

Migrations

To run your package's migrations use Thytanium\Tests\DatabaseMigrations trait.

<?php

namespace Tests;

use Thytanium\Tests\DatabaseMigrations;
use Thytanium\Tests\TestCase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseMigrations;
}

By default, migrations will be looked up in database/migrations from your package root directory. You can change the default migrations path with the MIGRATIONS_PATH envvar.

Testing

It's weird to test a package aimed to testing. And actually there isn't much to test that isn't already tested in Laravel.
