danog/class-finder
Fast PHP class discovery utility. Scan directories/files and find classes, interfaces, and traits without manually maintaining lists. Useful for autoload-based plugins, reflection tooling, and package indexing, with a simple API and minimal setup.
Testing ClassFinder is a bit of an ordeal because the project is intimately related to autoloading.
Testing works by creating entire "sample applications" in the testing directory. These applications
include their own composer.json and attempt to simulate a real application that composer required
this project. Autoloading is accomplished by requiring in an older version of haydenpierce/class-finder.
Autoloading is the only reason "haydenpierce/class-finder": "0.0.1" exists in the test app's composer.json file.
Tests can be run with this command (tested on Windows 10):
"vendor/bin/phpunit" "./test/app1/src/ClassFinderTest.php"
This starts off with a bootstrap script that copies in the existing src directory over the initially required
haydenpierce/class-finder/src files. Therefore, blowing away any changes made there. This makes debugging
kind of annoying because running xdebug on the test files will bring you into the test files. If you make changes directly
to the test files, they will immediately be blown away on the next run of the tests. Don't make the same
mistake I've made dozens of times.
If you're running the tests for the first time, you will encounter an error. This is because the test app is itself a composer application that must be installed. Currently, the necessary command to install will be output the first time you run the tests.
