PHPUnit testing project generated with Composer - php

I have a project generated with Composer which has a dependency on PHPUnit. Now I have
dir1 -> PHPUnit stuff
dir2 -> project stuff
If I go into the project directory and run PHPUnit, it complains about loading ClassLoader.php twice:
PHPUnit requires it in vendors/autoload.php
The application code (bootstrap) requires it
How can I resolve this double-inclusion?

Make sure you're running the copy of PHPUnit being installed using Composer, which should be vendor/bin/phpunit. See composer.json, tests/composer.json, and the "Tests" section of README.md in this github repo for examples: https://github.com/phergie/phergie-irc-parser

From a certain composer version [citation needed], class loader got "namespaced" with a long name, thus enabling more composer based projects to work together, this is a non issue from that point on.

symfony bridge isntalling phpunit to bin directory

I have a fresh symfony project and I need to install phpunit, so I run composer require --dev symfony/phpunit-bridge to install it. It creating symlink to phpunit executable in bin/ folder. But when I'm running tests using bin/phpuinit tests/ command I'm getting message "No composer.json found in the current directory, showing available packages from packagist.org
" and it starting phpunit installation into bin directory and at the end I have bin/.phpunit folder and all the phpunit related files there. Why it installing php unit there and not into vendor, why it's not see composer??? what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks in advance!
What you are using is the symfony/phpunit-bridge
It basically is way more flexible than just phpunit in the vendor folder, allowing to adapt to multiple versions of PHPUnit based on your environment.
Please read the documentation linked above for more details. You're not doing anything wrong!
Another way would be a plain composer require phpunit/phpunit, which would work the "basic"/"standard" way.

How to create composer package that can create skeleton files via composer create-project

I am thinking to create a project skeleton in the following format via a composer package that I am going to create.
/app
/config
/web
/vendors
Just wondering about this command
composer create-project vendor/name path
--repository-url=http://repo.yourcomposerrepo.com
What do I need to put in the composer.json in order to create the file structure I want? Is it done through the shell script or it just copied the files from the repositories?
For symfony it will create the files and folders automatically through composer create-project. Just wondering how do I achieve the similar thing for this case. When I looked at their repo it only contains one composer.json at https://github.com/symfony/skeleton
composer create-project symfony/skeleton blog
Thank you.
composer create-project will create a new directory with all the files that are part of that package and then it will run the installation for all the dependencies that are listed in that package's composer.json file.
If you want to have a better example to understand that, you can use the old way that we used to bootstrap Symfony applications (when not using the Symfony installer). Then applications were based on the Symfony Standard Edition which you can find on GitHub. Just run composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition and compare the result with the repository.
Using symfony/skeleton as the base package is a bit special. This package depends on Symfony Flex which is a Composer plugin that automatically applies so called recipes (see https://flex.symfony.com/) which will lead to newly created files when a package is installed (and clean them up on removal). But, this behaviour is special for Flex and thus nowadays Symfony 4 based application and not a good example for what composer create-project does by default.

How to develop and test Laravel package in isolation?

I have a Laravel 5.1 application that I've built a couple of custom packages inside of (I follow this tutorial). These packages have no dependencies that didn't already exist in the root Laravel app.
My first question is, if I needed to add a dependency to the package that wasn't already in the root app, how would it get pulled into the root app? Running composer update or composer install from the root application does not pull them in. I understand that once I publish to GitHub and later pull the package into my app with Composer, that it's dependencies will pull in...but how do I do it while developing?
My next question is, how do I go about creating automated tests for this package? None of the tutorials I've found address this. Should the package be in it's own instance of Laravel with the tests inside of the tests directory?
To pull in dependencies for your own package, you will need to navigate to your package root (not your application root) and run the composer update and composer install commands from there. That should create a vendor directory local to your package which will contain all dependencies declared in your package's composer.json.
The same goes for testing - you can create a tests directory local to your package inside the larger Laravel app and run your tests from the package root. Just make sure to include your testing dependencies inside your package's composer.json.

Can't run phpunit tests from command line

I am trying to run unit tests in a new laravel 5 application, using the phpunit framework. In the root path of my laravel application I ru the following command:
./vendor/bin/phpunit /tests/ExampleTest.php
And then I get the following message:
You need to set up the project dependencies using the following commands:
wget http://getcomposer.org/composer,phar
php composer.phar install
I already have composer installed in may system and I install Laravel 5 using composer. Isn't phpunit installed when I install a new laravel 5 application? If not, how can I install it in a existent laravel 5 application?
I known that I can also install phpunit globaly and resolve the problem. But maybe it will be a duplication since I have all the phpunit code already in may laravel application.
I had the same problem and it had a specific solution that may apply to other people. I store my files in Dropbox, and the vendor/bin/phpunit file should be an symlink like this
$ ls -lo vendor/bin/phpunit
lrwxr-xr-x vendor/bin/phpunit -> ../phpunit/phpunit/phpunit
However, Dropbox will occasionally replace symlinks with the original file, and this will cause the error above. The behaviour is inconsistent, and with relative symlinks seems to break when 2 machines are accessing Dropbox at the same time. Fixing the symlink worked for me or you could make a new symlink directly to the vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit outside of Dropbox and run that.
Edit: Nowadays I exclude Vendor and node_modules from Dropbox - and simply run composer install when necessary. This works really well, and also deals with the hassle of syncing so many files on Dropbox. What you can do is go into the folder and delete all the files. Wait for Dropbox to sync. Then mark the folder as excluded. Finally, run composer install and you get the contents as you need. (Delete + composer install often solves other issues too).
Running composer install did nothing in my case. However, removing vendor folder and then calling composer install fixed it.
You need to have Composer installed and run composer install or composer update in your application to install the different packages listed in your composer.json.
When you install your Laravel application it doesn't install the packages right away.
You can verify the packages are installed by looking in the vendor directory of your application and check that phpunit is in there.
did you install phpunit globally? I recommend you do it.
just type in your laravel's root directory (e.g. /var/www)
cd /var/www
phpunit
if you what to test just one file, you can do something like this:
phpunit tests/ExampleTest.php
Unit Test:
D:\xampp\htdocs\Samplemed\vendor\bin>
phpunit ../../tests/Unit/Company/CompanyUnitTest
Feature Test:
D:\xampp\htdocs\Samplemed\vendor\bin>phpunit
../../tests/Feature/Company/CompanyFeatureTest
Please try this. its working fine.

How to manually install Laravel Cashier in Laravel 4

I already know how to install by going through composer.json to add laravel/cashier, then composer update, and then add some line in app provider. But where does this folder go? What other things does it add in my app to make it fully functional? What is the work flow of composer update in Laravel 4?
Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP. It is not a typical package manager as it does not install libraries globally, but on a per project basis. It uses the file "composer.json" to install, update and remove libraries specified, including the version requested.
Composer creates an "autoload.php" file that, if included in your project, autoloads all libraries and classes and makes them available for use.
Typically, in a regular PHP project, you'd include the following line to bootstrap your project:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Now, when you execute composer install (for first time) or composer update (every time after), Composer adds/removes packages according to configuration made in "composer.json" file. All packages go in the directory "vendor" found in root of your project directory.
Laravel, by default, is a Composer project. You know when you execute composer create-project laravel/laravel my-app --prefer-dist to install Laravel, you are telling Composer to build a "composer.json" file with Laravel project and its dependencies, and run composer install. That's all!
Last but not least, Laravel, since it is a Composer project, includes "autoload.php" file and autoloads all packages within that project by default. You will notice "vendor" directory in the root directory. In Laravel 5 project, if you navigate to "bootstrap/autoload.php" file, you will see Laravel includes "autoload.php" file: require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
To answer your question about manually installing Laravel Cashier, Laravel Cashier is a package made specifically for Laravel, and as such, is not meant to be used on regular PHP project, unless you use specific classes and do some tweaking. To manually install Laravel Cashier, if you go to the following link, you will find link to "laravel/cashier" GitHub repository, from where you can manually download Zip file or clone the repository using git:
https://packagist.org/packages/laravel/cashier
I hope this adequately answers your questions - I kept it as simple as I could. Let me know if you have any other questions.
