What's Changed

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Codeception/Specify/compare/1.4.0...2.0.0

1.4.0
  • Added Fluent Interface support, this allows you to add it's and should's chained to a specify or describe.
  • Specify.php trait now only has the public API methods.
  • If an it or should only receives text now that test is marked as incomplete.

1.3.0
1.2.0
  • Extended range of supported PHPUnit versions to include PHPUnit 8
  • Fixed signature of result printer `writeProcess method #45 by @purwandi
1.1

Due to interface change in PHPUnit 7 we can't support both PHPUnit 7x. and 6.x This release request PHPUnit 7.x and PHP 7.1+ as well.

If you can't update keep using 1.0 version.

1.0

Specify was refactored to simplify its usage. Works with PHP7 and PHPUnit 6+ only (and Codeception, of course)

  • BREAKING: PHPUnit 6 support
  • BREAKING: Removed configuration section
  • BREAKING: Only properties marked with [@specify](https://github.com/specify) annotation are cloned in specify blocks.
  • BREAKING: Removed throws parameter in specify blocks
  • Added $this->describe, $this->it, $this->should aliases to $this->specify
  • Added Codeception\Specify\ResultPrinter to fix printing progress of specify blocks.

Upgrade Plan

  1. Update to PHP7+ PHPUnit 6+
  2. Add to phpunit.xml: printerClass="Codeception\Specify\ResultPrinter"
  3. If relied on property cloning, add [@specify](https://github.com/specify) annotation for all properties which needs to be cloned for specify blocks
  4. If you used throws parameter, consider using AssertThrows package.
