Using a composer script with a hyphen in the name? - php

Question

I a'm trying to use the following script from Github: https://github.com/php-webdriver/php-webdriver
Installing with composer in "/mnt/hgfs/" was easy, but loading the class in a php file seems impossible
As you can see, there is a hyphen in the name, and i can't seem to load the class in any way. I have googled for a lot and tried many things, but same problem, either i get:
Trying to use the hyphen in namespace and use i get
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting '{' in
/mnt/hgfs/test.php on line 3
Replacing hyphen with underscore, or just removing it i get:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class
'php_webdriver\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities' not found in
/mnt/hgfs/test.php:10
This is how my code looks (/mnt/hgfs/test.php):
namespace php_webdriver\WebDriver;
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeOptions;
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeDriver;
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities;
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
$host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'; // this is the default
$capabilities = DesiredCapabilities::htmlUnitWithJS();
{
$options = new ChromeOptions();
$options->addArguments(array(
'--disable-extensions',
'--no-sandbox',
'--headless',
'--no-proxy-server'
));
$capabilities = DesiredCapabilities::chrome();
$capabilities->setCapability(ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY, $options);
$capabilities->setPlatform("Linux");
}
$driver_spec = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, $capabilities, 600000, 600000);
How should I load this class?

Answer 1

There are a couple of things wrong here:
namespace php_webdriver\WebDriver;
You shouldn't be trying to add your code to the webdriver namespace. For a test script you don't need your own namespace. You can probably delete this line.
As for:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeOptions;
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeDriver;
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities;
use php_webdriver\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
I get the impression you're not 100% familiar with how PSR-4 / autoloading works. The namespace is mapped to a code directory by autoload.php, and the two don't necessarily have to have the same naming structure.
Take a look at the composer.json in the webdriver project, and pay attention to the PSR-4 section.
"Facebook\\WebDriver\\": "lib/" tells you that anything in the lib directory is to be considered as being in the Facebook\WebDriver namespace.
Try
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Facebook\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeOptions;
use Facebook\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeDriver;
use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities;
use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
