$ php codecept.phar generate:test unit "./foo" causes <?php namespace .;

[mipon]

What are you trying to achieve?

Automate creating a test file using the generate:{suite/test} command, synched with IDE when a file is added/modified.

In this scenario, sometimes calculated relative path for the generating test file contains a dot. In that case, an invalid syntax is inserted in the resulting generated test file.

Passing a relative path is useful to keep a synchronized structure with the source directory. For example, passing "foo/bar" creates a test file unit/foo/barTest.php. This is great.

$ php codecept.phar generate:test unit "foo/bar"

However, when it contains a dot, like

$ php codecept.phar generate:test unit "./foo"

it creates a file fooTest.php with an invalid namespace syntax. The dot something passed by IDE.

What do you get instead?

A namespace with a dot gets inserted at the beginning of the generated file, which is invalid syntax and causes a fatal error. So it must be manually removed.

<?php namespace .;

class fooTest extends \Codeception\Test\Unit
{
    /**
     * @var \UnitTester
     */
    protected $tester;
    ...
