A unit testing framework in a tweet.

sample.php

<?php
require_once 'TestFrameworkInATweet.php';
it("should sum two numbers", 1+1==2);
it("should display an X for a failing test", 1+1==3);
done();

TestFrameworkInATweet.php

<?php
function it($m,$p){echo ($p?'✔︎':'✘')." It $m\n"; if(!$p){$GLOBALS['f']=1;}}function done(){if(@$GLOBALS['f'])die(1);}

Also, you guys rock!

Interface matching, but couldn't get it to fit in a tweet when stripping it down... :-( maybe one of you can?

<?php

/**
 * Matcher for interfaces
 *
 * @param string $interface The interface name
 * @param mixed  $object    A valid classname or an object
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function hasInterface($interface, $object)
{
    try {
        $reflection = new ReflectionClass($object);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return false;
    }

    return in_array((string) $interface, $reflection->getInterfaceNames());
}

Usage:

<?php

it("should pass when the expected interface is implemented",
    hasInterface('Countable', new RecursiveArrayIterator(array()))
);

it("should pass when the expected interface is implemented",
    hasInterface('Countable', 'RecursiveArrayIterator')
);

it("should fail when the expected interface is not implemented",
    hasInterface('Countable', new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(__DIR__))
);

it("should fail when the given object doesn't exist.",
    hasInterface('Countable', '')
);

Produces:

✔︎ It should pass when the expected interface is implemented
✔︎ It should pass when the expected interface is implemented
✘ It should fail when the expected interface is not implemented
✘ It should fail when the given object doesn't exist.

@turanct this function might help http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.class-implements.php

@SpacefulSpecies, too bad that class_implements doesn't throw exceptions, it shouts warnings at you when you give it an erronious class name... You can then indeed use the ugly @-way to create a function doing the same thing as what i posted before, while getting it to fit in a tweet, like this:

<?php
function hasInterface($i, $o){$is=@class_implements($o, false);return in_array((string) $i, (array) $is);}

but i'd really rather not use the @ sign to suppress errors.

but i'd really rather not use the @ sign to suppress errors.

Wait a minute. You're trying to write to write good code. In a tweet. In a plugin for a piece of code that uses globals. :-O

Also, why do you want to test on interfaces?

Those are all valid points :-) maybe that was too eager of me.

Isn't it practical or useful in some cases to test on interfaces? For instance to describe the identity of your class before you start writing it? I could be wrong but i thought phpspec had something like it, and it looked like a fun challenge to make it work here too.

PHPSpec has it as a default, but if you watch presentations by Marcello, it's the first thing he removes :). There are rare case where you'd want to test if an object implements a certain interface. TestFrameworkAsATweet has a built-in feature to deal with that, but it is undocumented and untested at this time. Use at your own peril!

<?php
it("should implement the Awesome interface", $object instanceof Awesome);

Bam! TestFrameworkInATweet has everything! Please test thoroughly and submit bug reports for any issues you might find. Who needs bloated frameworks like phpspec? That has like, I don't know, probably MORE THAN 100 LINES OF CODE!!!11!!

134 character plugin to add Mockery support to TestFrameworkInATweet:

<?php
function withMock(Closure $cb){$cb();try{Mockery::close();}catch(Exception $e){echo $e->getMessage()."\n";return false;}return true;}

Usage:

<?php
use Mockery as m;

it('should use SomeInterface to do Something', withMock(function () {
    $mock = m::mock('SomeInterface');
    $mock->shouldReceive('someMethod')
        ->with('someValue')
        ->once()
        ->andReturn(true);

    $sut = new SystemToTest($mock);
    $sut->test();
});

Output:

Method someMethod("someValue") from Mockery_0_SomeInterface should be called
 exactly 1 times but called 0 times.
✘ It should use SomeInterface to do Something

Code-coverage support in 144 characters!

<?php
function cc($c){foreach($c as $f=>$z){
$s=file($f);$r=0;foreach($s as $l=>$x){if(isset($z[++$l])){($z[$l]==1)&&$r++;}}yield [$f,$r,count($z)];}}

Usage:

<?php

xdebug_start_code_coverage(XDEBUG_CC_UNUSED | XDEBUG_CC_DEAD_CODE);


it('should do stuff here', true);

foreach (cc(xdebug_get_code_coverage()) as list($file, $run, $total)) {
    echo "$file: $run/$total lines\n";
}

Some cavats: PHP 5.5+ only, not much use on its own needs as it needs an output function too, and it includes code coverage in test and vendor files.

Here's an example text report function in 116 chars:

<?php
function cc_text($c) {echo "Code Coverage: \n\n";foreach($c as list($f,$r,$t)){echo "$f: $r/$t lines\n";}echo "\n";}

Usage:

<?php

xdebug_start_code_coverage(XDEBUG_CC_UNUSED | XDEBUG_CC_DEAD_CODE);

it('should do stuff here', true);

cc_text(cc(xdebug_get_code_coverage());

Output:

Code Coverage:

/path/to/file.php: 1/2 lines

I reality, you need to filter out test and vendor files, and would like to output in a single function, but I couldn't fit that in a tweet, here's a slightly longer version (185 chars) that does that:

<?php
function cc($c,$p){foreach($c as $f=>$z){if(preg_match($p,$f))continue;
$s=file($f);$r=0;foreach($s as $l=>$x){if(isset($z[++$l])){($z[$l]==1)&&$r++;}}$z=count($z);echo "$f: $r/$z\n";}}

Usage:

<?php
xdebug_start_code_coverage(XDEBUG_CC_UNUSED | XDEBUG_CC_DEAD_CODE);

it('should do stuff here', true);

cc(xdebug_get_code_coverage(), '/test|vendor/i');

Multiple assertions in one go:

<?php
function all(array $ps){return array_reduce($ps,function($a,$p){return $a&&$p;},true);}

// usage
it("should do a bunch of calculations", all([
    1+1 == 2,
    1+2 == 1249,
]);
done();

Output:

✘ It should do a bunch of calculations
Process finished with exit code 1

Slightly shorter.

<?php
function all($ps){return $ps===array_filter($ps);}

it('should be shorter than Mathias\' proposal and still work', all([
    strlen('function all($ps){return $ps===array_filter($ps);}') < strlen('function all(array $ps){return array_reduce($ps,function($a,$p){return $a&&$p;},true);}'),
    1+1 === 2,
]));

done();

Schoolboy error there Sterling.

<?php
function all($a){return $a===array_filter($a);}

it('should be shorter than Sterling\'s proposal by three characters and still work', all([
    (strlen('function all($ps){return $ps===array_filter($ps);}') - strlen('function all($a){return $a===array_filter($a);}')) === 3,
    1+2 === 3,
]));

done();

😄

In a way, this whole exercise is reminiscent of those C/Perl code obfuscation contests. It's pretty crafty what one can do in 140 chars.

Pretty awesome!

It also covers some minor frameworks like phpspec and phpunit, but of course the focus is mostly about #TestFrameworkInATweet!

Real life usage: http://stackoverflow.com/a/24214755

Soon we will have full stack frameworks in a tweet! Here is a prioritized event dispatcher in a tweet: https://gist.github.com/xsist10/824b559c4effaf43ddb3

And a REPL in a tweet: gist / tweet

framework components in tweets https://github.com/liuggio/sized140

78 chars

function it($m,$p){echo"\033[3",$p?"2m✔":"1m✘"," It $m\033[0m\n";$p||die(1);}

Dependency injection container in a tweet ... https://gist.github.com/jm42/3c32dd50bb9d09f57c4a

We have a glorious 280 characters at our disposal now. https://twitter.com/mathiasverraes/status/928526123297894400
We can bloat this framework with features. Go wild.

I just pushed few moments ago modified one with adjusted to 280 chars tweet and with some colors and dropped a need for done() function call at end. https://twitter.com/mbrzuchalski/status/928539030035320832
It has also some debug info about last error:

<?php
function it($m,$p){echo($p?"\e[0;32m✔︎":"\e[0;31m✘")."\e[0m It $m\n";if(!$p){$GLOBALS['d']=debug_backtrace();}}
register_shutdown_function(function(){@$d=$GLOBALS['d'][0];if($d){echo "\e[1;37;41mFailed in {$d['file']} at {$d['line']}\e[0m\n";die(1);}echo "\e[1;32mOK\e[0m\n";});

Now there's even more, added error file and line every failed test and short summary at shutdown:

<?php
function it($m,$p){echo"\e[3".($p?"2m✔︎":"1m✘")."\e[0m It $m\n";if(!$p){$GLOBALS['e']=1;$d=debug_backtrace()[0];echo"ERROR {$d['file']}@{$d['line']}\n";}}register_shutdown_function(function(){echo"\e[1;3".(($e=@$GLOBALS['e'])?"7;41mFAIL":"2mOK")."\e[0m\n";die($e);});

Failing example:

it('should pass', true);
it('should fail', false);
it('should also fail', false);

Results:

✔︎ It should pass
✘ It should fail
ERROR /home/brzuchal/test-oneliner.php@6
✘ It should also fail
ERROR /home/brzuchal/test-oneliner.php@7
FAIL

Passing example:

it('should pass', true);

Results:

✔︎ It should pass
OK

And here is a link to my fork of this gist https://gist.github.com/brzuchal/5aeec672207bc9df4898ba99d6f7b369#file-testframeworkinatweet-php

So if someone would wanan use it can just:

<?php
include 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/brzuchal/5aeec672207bc9df4898ba99d6f7b369/raw/22ce43d813007323e7cf1cee6a101f1ce7674466/TestFrameworkInATweet.php'
it('should pass', true);
it('should fail', false);
it('should also fail', false);

nice one :)

I gave up to colors, but

• use standard output/error for the success/failure output
• add some mimimum formatting
• add possibility to pass a callback as predicate

<?php
function it($m,$p){ $d=debug_backtrace(0)[0];
 is_callable($p) and $p=$p();
 global $e;$e=$e||!$p;
 $o=($p?"✔":"✘")." It $m";
 fwrite($p?STDOUT:STDERR,$p?"$o\n":"$o FAIL: {$d['file']} #{$d['line']}\n");
}

register_shutdown_function(function(){global $e; $e and die(1);});

Example:

it('should display an X for a failing test.', 1+1===3);

it('should append to an ArrayIterator.', function() {
  $iterator = new ArrayIterator();
  $iterator->append('test');
  return count($iterator) === 1 && $iterator->current() === 'test';
});

it('should pass test for InvalidArgumentException exception.', function() {
  try {
    throw new InvalidArgumentException();
  } catch(InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    return true;
  }
});

with output:

✘ It should display an X for a failing test. FAIL: /path/to/file.php #11
✔ It should append to an ArrayIterator.
✔ It should pass test for InvalidArgumentException exception.
