The command "atoum --init" is used to initialize a new atoum project. Atoum is a modern and simple testing framework for PHP, which allows developers to write unit tests for their PHP code.
When you run "atoum --init," it sets up the basic structure and configuration files needed for a new atoum project. This command creates several files and directories within your project, including:
-
The "atoum.php" file: This file contains the setup and configuration for atoum. You can modify this file to customize your test suite according to your project's requirements.
-
The "tests/units" directory: This directory is where you will write your unit tests. You can create subdirectories within "tests/units" to organize your test files based on the classes or components you are testing.
-
The "tests/units/.bootstrap.atoum.php" file: This file is used for autoloading dependencies and configuring any other necessary setup for your unit tests. You can modify this file if you need to include any additional libraries or make changes to the test environment.
Overall, "atoum --init" saves you the time and effort of manually creating these files and directories, ensuring that your atoum project starts with the necessary structure and configuration in place so you can focus on writing effective unit tests for your PHP code.
