    I really like how Pest PHP formats and outputs test results, but I still prefer to use PHPUnit. Luckily there's Collision. This package is designed to give you beautiful error reporting when interacting with your app through the command line.

    I like collision https://github.com/nunomaduro/collision it is the output formatter wich the Pest Testing Framework is also using, I'm using it without Pest.
  • PHPUnit, do i need to learn it?

    It was as I know just released 2 years ago. And as I know Nuno already works on PestPHP 2.0. It is also build on top of PHPUnit which means you can run all PHPUnit tests also with PestPHP runner. It is mostly be used in Laravel ecosystem as the maintainer is a maintainer of Laravel, I personally did not yet give it a try as I'm more in the Symfony world, but I use mostly the same PHPUnit Printer called Collision which make the PHPUnit a bit nicer :).

    I also felt from the beginning that the code snippets should be syntax highlighted in the console output. After a decent attempt at creating basic syntax highlighting, I again went with the tried-and-true method of extracting existing code from a project. In this case, the original source code came from nunomaduro/collision. Again, with some modifications, it suited my needs perfectly.

    I'm proud to announce the initial release of the spatie/x-ray package for Ray. The x-ray package provides a command-line utility that finds and displays all calls to ray(), rd(), and other functions from the spatie/ray family of packages. Currently, it only supports PHP projects.
