README

Add more functionality to default Laravel 5.1 TestCase.

Installation

PHP 5.5.9+ or HHVM 3.3+, Composer and Laravel 5.1+ are required.

To get the latest version of Laravel-Extend-TestCase, simply add the following line to the require block of your composer.json file.

"lanin/laravel-extend-testcase": "dev-master"

You'll then need to run composer install or composer update to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Once it was installed you don't have to register any ServiceProvider, Facade or publish any configs.

All you have to do is to extend your base Seeder class with \Lanin\TestCase\TestCase and you are ready to test!

class TestCase extends \Lanin\TestCase\TestCase
