Better PHPUnit CLI output

I really like how Pest PHP formats and outputs test results, but I still prefer to use PHPUnit. Luckily there's Collision. This package is designed to give you beautiful error reporting when interacting with your app through the command line.

Installation

composer require robiningelbrecht/phpunit-pretty-print --dev

Configuration

Navigate to your phpunit.xml.dist file and add following config to set default options (you can also set these options at run time):

<extensions>
    <bootstrap class="RobinIngelbrecht\PHPUnitPrettyPrint\PhpUnitExtension">
    </bootstrap>
</extensions>

Also make sure the color attribute is set to true:

<phpunit 
        colors="true">
</phpunit>

Options

• Output profiling report at the end of the test run

<extensions>
    <bootstrap class="RobinIngelbrecht\PHPUnitPrettyPrint\PhpUnitExtension">
        <parameter name="displayProfiling" value="true"/>
    </bootstrap>
</extensions>

• Use compact mode to only output the testsuite results instead of all separate tests

<extensions>
    <bootstrap class="RobinIngelbrecht\PHPUnitPrettyPrint\PhpUnitExtension">
        <parameter name="useCompactMode" value="true"/>
    </bootstrap>
</extensions>

• Feel good about yourself after running your testsuite by displaying a Chuck Noris quote

<extensions>
    <bootstrap class="RobinIngelbrecht\PHPUnitPrettyPrint\PhpUnitExtension">
        <parameter name="displayQuote" value="true"/>
    </bootstrap>
</extensions>
