README

When you extend TestCase, you're booting the whole framework for each test in your suite. It's likely that you're not using all the features for each test, slowing down your test suite considerably.

This package allows you to "opt in" to boot just the Laravel features you need for your test to pass. Your test will run much quicker as a result.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require morrislaptop/laravel-boot-maker --dev

Create the following trait in tests/CreatesPartialApplication.php

<?php

namespace Tests;

trait CreatesPartialApplication
{
    /**
     * Creates the application.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Foundation\Application
     */
    public function createApplication()
    {
        $app = require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

        return $app;
    }
}

Create a base partial test class which uses this trait at tests/PartialTestCase.php

<?php

namespace Tests;

use Morrislaptop\LaravelBootMaker\PartialTestCase as BasePartialTestCase;

abstract class PartialTestCase extends BasePartialTestCase
{
    use CreatesPartialApplication;
}

Usage

It's recommended to get the tests passing using the full TestCase first, and then drop down to PartialTestCase and select only the Laravel features you need.

This approach ensures you're only using the Laravel features you think are using, which might be useful if trying to decouple from the framework bit.

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Events\QuestionCreated;
use App\Listeners\AskQuestion;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use Morrislaptop\LaravelBootMaker\Concerns\Events;
use Tests\PartialTestCase;

class QuestionCreatedTest extends PartialTestCase
{
    use Events;

    /**
     * A basic feature test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function test_example()
    {
        Event::fake();
        Event::assertListening(QuestionCreated::class, AskQuestion::class);
    }
}

For a full list of features to enable, see src/Concerns;

You can easily create your own Concerns by including it in a TestCase and ensuring it has the setUpXXXX and tearDownXXXX methods.
