Methods

__construct()

public __construct(string $value) : mixed
Parameters
$value : string

count()

Counts the number of constraint elements.

public count() : int
Return values
int

evaluate()

Evaluates the constraint for parameter $other.

public evaluate(mixed $other[, string $description = '' ][, bool $returnResult = false ]) : bool|null

If $returnResult is set to false (the default), an exception is thrown in case of a failure. null is returned otherwise.

If $returnResult is true, the result of the evaluation is returned as a boolean value instead: true in case of success, false in case of a failure.

Parameters
$other : mixed
$description : string = ''
$returnResult : bool = false
Tags
throws
ExpectationFailedException
Return values
bool|null

toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

public toString() : string
Return values
string

additionalFailureDescription()

Return additional failure description where needed.

protected additionalFailureDescription(mixed $other) : string

The function can be overridden to provide additional failure information like a diff

Parameters
$other : mixed
Return values
string

fail()

Throws an exception for the given compared value and test description.

protected fail(mixed $other, string $description[, ComparisonFailure|null $comparisonFailure = null ]) : never
Parameters
$other : mixed
$description : string
$comparisonFailure : ComparisonFailure|null = null
Tags
throws
ExpectationFailedException
throws
InvalidJsonException
Return values
never

failureDescription()

Returns the description of the failure.

protected failureDescription(mixed $other) : string

The beginning of failure messages is "Failed asserting that" in most cases. This method should return the second part of that sentence.

To provide additional failure information additionalFailureDescription can be used.

Parameters
$other : mixed
Return values
string

failureDescriptionInContext()

Returns the description of the failure when this constraint appears in context of an $operator expression.

protected failureDescriptionInContext(Operator $operator, mixed $role, mixed $other) : string

The purpose of this method is to provide meaningful failure description in context of operators such as LogicalNot. Native PHPUnit constraints are supported out of the box by LogicalNot, but externally developed ones had no way to provide correct messages in this context.

The method shall return empty string, when it does not handle customization by itself.

Parameters
$operator : Operator
$role : mixed
$other : mixed
Return values
string

matches()

Evaluates the constraint for parameter $other. Returns true if the constraint is met, false otherwise.

protected matches(mixed $other) : bool

This method can be overridden to implement the evaluation algorithm.

Parameters
$other : mixed
Return values
bool

reduce()

Reduces the sub-expression starting at $this by skipping degenerate sub-expression and returns first descendant constraint that starts a non-reducible sub-expression.

protected reduce() : self

Returns $this for terminal constraints and for operators that start non-reducible sub-expression, or the nearest descendant of $this that starts a non-reducible sub-expression.

A constraint expression may be modelled as a tree with non-terminal nodes (operators) and terminal nodes. For example:

 LogicalOr           (operator, non-terminal)
 + LogicalAnd        (operator, non-terminal)
 | + IsType('int')   (terminal)
 | + GreaterThan(10) (terminal)
 + LogicalNot        (operator, non-terminal)
   + IsType('array') (terminal)

A degenerate sub-expression is a part of the tree, that effectively does not contribute to the evaluation of the expression it appears in. An example of degenerate sub-expression is a BinaryOperator constructed with single operand or nested BinaryOperators, each with single operand. An expression involving a degenerate sub-expression is equivalent to a reduced expression with the degenerate sub-expression removed, for example

 LogicalAnd          (operator)
 + LogicalOr         (degenerate operator)
 | + LogicalAnd      (degenerate operator)
 |   + IsType('int') (terminal)
 + GreaterThan(10)   (terminal)

is equivalent to

 LogicalAnd          (operator)
 + IsType('int')     (terminal)
 + GreaterThan(10)   (terminal)

because the subexpression

 + LogicalOr
   + LogicalAnd
     + -

is degenerate. Calling reduce() on the LogicalOr object above, as well as on LogicalAnd, shall return the IsType('int') instance.

Other specific reductions can be implemented, for example cascade of LogicalNot operators

 + LogicalNot
   + LogicalNot
     +LogicalNot
      + IsTrue

can be reduced to

 LogicalNot
 + IsTrue
Return values
self

toStringInContext()

Returns a custom string representation of the constraint object when it appears in context of an $operator expression.

protected toStringInContext(Operator $operator, mixed $role) : string

The purpose of this method is to provide meaningful descriptive string in context of operators such as LogicalNot. Native PHPUnit constraints are supported out of the box by LogicalNot, but externally developed ones had no way to provide correct strings in this context.

The method shall return empty string, when it does not handle customization by itself.

$operator : Operator
$role : mixed
Return values
string
