Peridot 2.0 Ideas about peridot

Tinkered for an hour on a quick proof of concept, and this might be a lot easier than I initially thought: https://github.com/peridot-php/peridot/blob/peridot-phpunit-poc/poc.php

I agree that there isn't a lot of demand for Peridot any more, unfortunately. It was a fantastic tool at a time when there were few alternatives.

The describe-it syntax-on-top-of-phpunit isn't necessarily a bad idea, but just be aware that that's essentially what https://github.com/danielstjules/pho was, and it also struggled to gain traction.

@ezzatron Interesting, I checked pho, and I don't see any reference to phpunit. Maybe i'm missing something?

[ragboyjr]

Basically, peridot 2.0 concept would basically just be a plugin to phpunit and hopefully in the future pulled under the namespace of PHPUnit as a first class citizen.

https://github.com/Codeception/Specify - this looks similar to what I'm attempting to do, but still doesn't support the full syntax.

Weird... I could have sworn it was pho that was based on PHPUnit, but it seems not.

I wonder if you were thinking of Pest

[ezzatron]

Hmm, I don't think so. The framework I remember was ancient, from before Peridot existed. But Pest looks pretty cool!
