Mockery
Mockery is a simple yet flexible PHP mock object framework for use in unit testing with PHPUnit, PHPSpec or any other testing framework. Its core goal is to offer a test double framework with a succinct API capable of clearly defining all possible object operations and interactions using a human readable Domain Specific Language (DSL). -

Building PHAR
Peridot's phar is built using Box. Once box is installed, the phar can be built using the following command from the project directory:
box build
Generating Peridot's documentation
Peridot API documentation is generated using apigen. Once apigen is installed, run the following command from the project directory:
apigen generate
This will output documentation to the docs/ directory.
Running Peridot's tests
Peridot's test suite can be run using Peridot:
$ bin/peridot
And a sample of output:
Release
We use Robo for releases.
robo release [version] [site-path]
using assert for expectations
Peridot sets ASSERT_CALLBACK via assert_options in order to throw exceptions when using the native assert function. Peridot specs are considered passing if they don't throw an exception; if you are using assert for expectations and you find your specs are triggering false positives, you may need to update zend.assertions to 1 in your php.ini. This is set to -1 by default in PHP 7+
If you aren't too keen on using assert for testing, there are a ton of assertion/expectation libraries out there. Anything that throws exceptions in response to a failed assertion will do. The peridot-php org has authored Leo, and this library offers a richer assertion vocabulary for testing.
