DEPRECATED in favor of icanhazstring/phpunit-faker-extension

phpunit extenstion with fzaninotto/Faker integration

To install this extension, simply use composer.

$ composer require --dev icanhazstring/phpunit-seed

To use this extension, make sure your tests derive from PHPUnitSeed\Framework\TestCase instead of the PHPUnit default.

This will add a new function fake() into your test suites.

class SuperTest extends PHPUnitSeed\Framework\Testcase
{
    public function testAwesome()
    {
        $name = $this->fake()->name();
        $this->assertEquals($name, $this->fake()->name());
        // should work
    }
}

To execute all your tests with random or specific seeds use the deliverd binary.

$ vendor/bin/phpunit-seed [--seed=<int>]

You will get an output similar to this

$ vendor/bin/phpunit-seed -c phpunit.xml
PHPUnit 6.4.3 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

.                                                                   1 / 1 (100%)

Time: 128 ms, Memory: 6.00MB

OK (1 test, 2 assertions)

Randomized with seed: 1234

In the last output line you will see the seed number which was used for this execution. If you want to execute the same tests, with same random values, use the --seed=<int> argument for the binary.

You can change the locale of 'Faker' in two ways:

1. Change the static FAKE_LOCALE in your test class

   class MyTestCase extends PHPUnitSeed\Framework\Testcase
   {
       protected static FAKE_LOCALE = 'de_DE';
   
        public function itShouldTestWithDELocale()
       {
           $name = $this->fake()->name; // will be name from de_DE provider
       }
   }

2. Call the fake method with your desired locale

   class MyTestCase extends PHPUnitSeed\Framework\Testcase
   {
       public function itShouldTestWithDELocale()
       {
           $name = $this->fake('de_DE')->name; // will be name from de_DE provider
       }
   }
