PHPUnit 10 - Coverage with Attributes

Question

Is it me or is it impossible to recreate the docblock metadata "@covers" with the "new" (they've been around for a while now) Attribute approach?

We used to write our tests like so:

/**
 * @coversDefaultClass \App\Foo
 */
final class FooTest
{
    /**
     * @test
     * @covers ::bar
     */
    public function can_it_bar(): void
    {
    }
}

But for the life of me I can't seem to reproduce the same results with #[CoversClass] and/or #[CoversFunction].

Anyone already figured this out?

We want to start migrating to Attributes because of the announcement made here that in PHPUnit 12 support for metadata in docblocks will be removed:

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

A new PHPUnit\Framework\Attributes\CoversMethod attribute was recently added. So your new code would be annotated like this:

use App\Foo;
use PHPUnit\Framework\Attributes\CoversMethod;
use PHPUnit\Framework\Attributes\Test;

#[CoversMethod(Foo::class, "bar")]
final class FooTest
{
    #[Test]
    public function can_it_bar(): void
    {
    }
}

Unfortunately, as with the previous answer, it's still not able to be applied to test methods. So in the (likely) event you have multiple different test methods you will have to stack a bunch of CoversMethod attributes before the class.
