Get object of vfsStreamFile to get the file content

[harikt]

I have created a directory structure like

$structure = array(
    'tmp' => array(
        // put an inner view in 'foo'
        'foo' => array(
            'inner_view.php' => '<strong><?= $this->inner_var; ?></strong>'
        ),
        'bar',
        // put an outer view in 'baz'
        'baz' => array(
            'outer_view.php' => '<div><?php echo $this->outer_var . " " . $this->__raw()->inner_view; ?></div>'
         ),
     )
);

    $this->root = vfsStream::setup('root', null, $structure);

Now how can I get the content. I am seeing the vfsStreamFile class. But wondering how is the way I can get the object of it from the directory . Didn't noticed any :( .

Hm, what do you want to achieve? You can get the file content either via

file_get_contents(vfsStream::url('root/tmp/foo/inner_view.php'))

or via

$this->root->getChild('tmp/foo/inner_view.php')->getContent()

Thank you @mikey179 . That was a great help. I spend sometime to figure it. But I failed to get it also :) .

What I was trying to achieve is for Aura.View auraphp/Aura.View#8 .

Currently we have a getRealPath() issue and also there is a require in fetch method which seems will not work.

Do you have any suggestions for it?

Unfortunately I can't do anything about the realpath issue, it's a limitation of PHP. I would be glad if I could add support for this. The only recommendation I can give is to mock the whole fileExists() method with a partial mock of the class.

The require should actually work. It may depend on your PHP ini configuration, probably you need to allow including files via vfs:// protocol.

Thank you @mikey179 for your tips. @pmjones has fixed it.
Thanks once again for the awesome tool. I will try to understand more and come up with something :) ,
Closing the issue as things got resolved.

What we did was we changed to is_readable check for fileExists .
