The Gherphalizer

Overview

Provides a composer plugin that finds and transforms Gherkin files into PHP classes.

Installation

Configure the plugin in your composer.json file using for example:

"extra": {
    "gherphalizer": {
        "files": [
            "*"
        ],
        "locations": [
            "app/modules",
            "app/profiles"
        ],
        "output-dir": "NOT-PUBLIC-FOLDER"
    }
}

Where:

• files: List of filenames (without the feature extension) to scan for.
• locations: List of paths to scan for Gherkin feature files.
• output-dir: The directory where the PHP files will be placed.

How does it work

Every time you run composer install or composer update, the plugin will scan the locations for Gherkin feature files, generating PHP classes for them into the output directory.

Command

You can also use the command composer gherphalizer to run the process.

Use the option --config to specify a config.json file to override the config defined in the composer.json: composer gherphalizer --config=config.json.

The content of the configuration file passed in needs to be in this format:

{
    "files": [
        "*"
    ],
    "locations": [
        "app/modules",
        "app/profiles"
    ],
    "output-dir": "NOT-PUBLIC-FOLDER"
}
