Fixtures

Creating XML fixture from mysql database

$ mysqldump -h localhost -u username --password=password --xml -t database data_table --where="id='1'"

Development

A PHP CLI container with Composer is provided, so tests and linting do not depend on the host's PHP version.

docker compose run --rm php composer install
docker compose run --rm php composer test
docker compose run --rm php composer lint

To get a shell inside the container (the repo is mounted at /app; exit to leave):

docker compose run --rm php bash

The default is PHP 8.4. Run against another version with PHP_VERSION, e.g. PHP_VERSION=8.1 docker compose run --rm php composer test. Each version gets its own vendor/ volume, separate from the host's.
