To test an exception handler with phpspec, you can follow these steps:
- Install phpspec (if not already installed) by running composer require phpspec/phpspec --dev in your project directory.
- Create a new specification class for your exception handler by running vendor/bin/phpspec describe
- Open the generated specification file (located in the spec directory) and update the class namespace and autoloading. Make sure it matches your exception handler class.
- Define a method to describe the behavior of your exception handler by adding a new method to the specification class.
function it_should_handle_exception() {
// Test code here
}
- Within the it_should_handle_exception method, add the phpspec expectation for throwing an exception.
function it_should_handle_exception() {
$this->shouldThrow(YourExceptionClass::class)->during('methodName', [$arguments]);
}
Replace YourExceptionClass with the fully qualified name of the exception class you expect to be thrown. methodName is the method you want to test, and $arguments are the arguments that will be passed to that method.
- Run the phpspec command to run the specifications:
vendor/bin/phpspec run
You should see the results of your exception handler test. If the expected exception is thrown, the test will pass.
- Update your exception handler code to handle the exception appropriately based on the test results.
Repeat these steps for any other exceptions you want to test with your exception handler.
