Create throw away composer projects for Codeception tests.

Why?

Because it's good to test your composer plugins in a more realistic environment.

The Goals, or What This Module Does?

Create throw away composer projects for Codeception tests.

Before each test:

• Copy dummy composer project files to a temporary directory
• Config local packages paths
• Install package via composer
• Change directory into the temporary directory

After each test:

• Delete the temporary directory

Install

composer require --dev typisttech/codeception-composer-project-module

Config

In your Codeception config file (e.g: acceptance.suite.yml or acceptance.yml):

This is the minimal config:

modules:
    enabled:
        - ComposerProject:
            projectRoot: 'path/to/composer/project'
            depends:
                - Cli
                - Filesystem

This is the full config:

modules:
    enabled:
        - ComposerProject:
            projectRoot: 'path/to/composer/project'
            composerInstallFlags: '--no-interaction --quiet'
            symlink: 'true'
            repositoryPaths:
                - 'tests/_data/dummy'
                - 'tests/_data/another-dummy'
            depends:

• @return void

Example:

$I->runComposerInstall();

getTmpProjectDir()

Get the path to the temporary project directory

Note: Return value maybe a symbolic link.

• @return string

Frequently Asked Questions

Which composer versions are supported?

Both v1 and v2.

I want to see what Codeception Composer Project Module have done for me?

Run the tests with the --debug flag.

Codeception Composer Project Module will log debug message to the console.

What to do when composer install fail or not install the latest version?

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Make sure you have package version constraints and minimum stability set up correctly.

{
    "require": {
        "dummy/dummy": "*"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

What to do when the tests are too slow?

• Enable symlink
• Add --prefer-dist to composerInstallFlags
• Add "prefer-stable": true to composer.json

Note: These methods are not suitable for every use case.

Do you have real life examples that use this composer plugin?

Here you go:

• Imposter Plugin

Will you add support for older PHP versions?

Never! This plugin will only work on actively supported PHP versions.

Don't use it on end of life or security fixes only PHP versions.
