To test email sending in PHPUnit, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the necessary dependencies:
1
2
3
composer require phpunit/phpunit
composer require symfony/mailer
composer require symfony/event-dispatcher


  1. Create a test case class that extends PHPUnitFrameworkTestCase:

use SymfonyComponentMailerTestConstraintEmailSent;
use SymfonyComponentMailerTestEmailAssertions;
use SymfonyComponentMailerTestInterceptorEmailInterceptor;
use SymfonyComponentMailerTestTransportNullTransport;
use SymfonyComponentMimeEmail;
use PHPUnitFrameworkTestCase;

class EmailSendingTest extends TestCase
{
    // ...

    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        EmailAssertions::setMailerTransport(new NullTransport());
    }

    public function testEmailSending()
    {
        // Create an instance of the email you want to send
        $email = new Email();
        $email->from('sender@example.com')
              ->to('recipient@example.com')
              ->subject('Test email')
              ->text('This is a test email');

        // Send the email
        $emailInterceptor = new EmailInterceptor();
        $emailInterceptor->intercept($email);
        $emailInterceptor->flush();

        // Assert that the email was sent
        $this->assertThat(new EmailSent($email), new EmailSentConstraint());
    }
}


  1. Run the test by executing the following command in the console:
1
vendor/bin/phpunit


This will execute the test case and check if the email was sent correctly. If it was sent, the test will pass, otherwise it will fail.
