Note that strict is deprecated in 4.5

[danez]

Please add a note for that.

[evert]

Is there a replacement for the strict setting?

[whatthejeff]

@evert It was replaced by more granular options:

--report-useless-tests    Be strict about tests that do not test anything.
--strict-coverage         Be strict about unintentionally covered code.
--disallow-test-output    Be strict about output during tests.
--enforce-time-limit      Enforce time limit based on test size.

See: sebastianbergmann/phpunit#914.

I hope to get to this and other things missing from the ChangeLog today.

It was replaced by more granular options:

We should document the keys to go into phpunit.xml files too.

Not sure if this is the right issue to report, and not sure if some cluster/caching issue, but searching through Google pointed me to: [https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/strict-mode.html], which still mentions possibility of strict="true".

And going through the source I found an undocumented setting (as far as I could find, for current version 4.5): beStrictAboutTodoAnnotatedTests. Using that gave me my risky test back in the result... :)

The strict-mode page seems to be present in versions 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7:

https://phpunit.de/manual/4.5/en/strict-mode.html
https://phpunit.de/manual/4.6/en/strict-mode.html
https://phpunit.de/manual/4.7/en/strict-mode.html

In PHPUnit 4.8 setting struct=true internally does:

        $result['reportUselessTests']          = $flag;
        $result['strictCoverage']              = $flag;
        $result['disallowTestOutput']          = $flag;
        $result['enforceTimeLimit']            = $flag;
        $result['disallowTodoAnnotatedTests']  = $flag;
        $result['deprecatedStrictModeSetting'] = true;

Which correspond in phpunit.xml to:

<phpunit
    beStrictAboutOutputDuringTests="true"
    beStrictAboutTestSize="true"
    beStrictAboutTestsThatDoNotTestAnything="true"
    checkForUnintentionallyCoveredCode="true"
    disallowTodoAnnotatedTests="true"
/>

Dear contributor,

thanks to the hard work by @belanur, @starikovm, @trueromio, and others, the changes outlined in #471 (comment) have been implemented.

This repository, https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-documentation, is now archived and read-only. The documentation for PHPUnit version prior to PHPUnit 7.0 will no longer be changed or updated. It is still hosted at

• Multiple HTML files: https://phpunit.de/manual/6.5/en/index.html
• Multiple HTML files (in a .tar.bz2 archive): https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/download.tar.bz2
• Single HTML file: https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/phpunit-book.html
• PDF: https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/phpunit-book.pdf
• ePub: https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/phpunit-book.epub

Simply replace 6.5 with the version number you are looking for. Simply replace en with fr, pt_br, ja, or zh_cn to access the French, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese translation, respectively.

Starting with the documentation for PHPUnit 7.0, the PHPUnit documentation is hosted at https://phpunit.readthedocs.io/.

• The English documentation for PHPUnit is now maintained in the phpunit-documentation-english project
• The French documentation for PHPUnit is now maintained in the phpunit-documentation-french project
• The Brazilian Portuguese documentation for PHPUnit is now maintained in the phpunit-documentation-brazilian-portuguese project
• The Japanese documentation for PHPUnit is now maintained in the phpunit-documentation-japanese project
• The Simplified Chinese documentation for PHPUnit is now maintained in the phpunit-documentation-chinese project

I am sorry that I have to close this issue here as GitHub does not support moving issues from one project to another. Please open a new ticket for this issue in one of the new issue trackers (see above).
