TL;DR: #phpspec isn't a testing framework

Cette personne est toujours à l'écoute de nouvelles opportunités. Il a des compétences en environnement PHP/Symfony mais il reste ouvert sur le plan technique.
Bref, si vous avez quelque chose pour lui, je vous mets immédiatement en relation !

Belle journée à tous

#SymfonyCon talks, slides and links are on @github here:

▶️ https://t.co/xIDTtox4K8

If you are a speaker, please share your slides 🥰
But also a blog post explaining your talk would be awesome

#PHP #Symfony #Twig #HTTP #Postgres

Turns out what people wanted to do was `$a = [-1 => 'first', 0 => 'last']; $a[-1] // 'first'`
Where what I wanted to do was `$b = ['first', 'last']; $b[-1] // 'last'`
😭

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

TFW you believe #PHP 8.3 allows you to get the last element of an array using `$a[-1]` thanks to the Negative Array Index RFC 🤯
And then when you realise that, no, it doesn't. Instead it just allows you to use negative numbera as indexes 😞

`[TaggedIterator(<tagName>, defaultPriorityMethod: <method>)]` to execute the Strategies in a specific order

Notes:
- "method" example: `Strategy::getDefaultPriority(): int;`
- highest priorities are executed first, lowest last
- "method" MUST be static

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

Blogged - Strategy Pattern, #Symfony 5.3 and autowiring https://t.co/RPXgDbEv0R

TL;DR:
- use "AutoconfigureTag" attribute on the "Strategy" Interface
- use "TaggedIterator" attribute in the "Context" constructor's strategies iterable

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

`[TaggedIterator(<tagName>)]` will collect in an iterable all the services that have the tag "tagName"

When you try to resurrect a pet project you last touched 10 years ago...

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

@sabrinaesaquino You know it's bad when even the cat wants to submit a pull request

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

I'd probably make sure to use a Singleton for the AppKernel in the PHPUnit test cases (which we do in the application).

And avoid using setUp / test class properties (see: https://t.co/5R4DEHSZ65)

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

Blogged - PHPUnit's setUp() is a lie https://t.co/2fT7MHVZEK

TL;DR: PHPUnit creates as many instances of a Test Class, as it has test methods.

Intrigued? It gets worse 😅 as you'll find out by reading the article. What I didn't mention in it, though, is...

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

I've found this 2017 tweet of mine, showing the results of the #phpspec / #PHPUnit testsuite.

I thought it'd be interesting to compare it to its future self from 2024.

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

Migrated PHPUnit to v6 without trouble 🎉Main changes to go through: proper namespaces and no risky tests (e.g. tests without assertions)

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

Dang. It's been almost 10 years since these articles. I should probably update them... Except nothing has changed!

The principle remains the same, it'd just be about upgrading the frameworks and libs.

[Loïc Faugeron @LoicFaugeron]

OOP has always been about messaging.
According to Alan Kay, the original conception involved objects communicating like cells or computers on a network, emphasizing messaging, local retention, protection, hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding.
