Method Detail
_assertAttributes() ¶ protected
_assertAttributes(array $assertions, string $string): stringCheck the attributes as part of an assertTags() check.
Parameters
-
array$assertions Assertions to run.
-
string$string The HTML string to check.
Returns
string_normalizePath() ¶ protected
_normalizePath(string $path): stringNormalize a path for comparison.
Parameters
-
string$path Path separated by "/" slash.
Returns
stringassertHtml() ¶ public
assertHtml(array $expected, string $string, bool $fullDebug = false): boolAsserts HTML tags.
Takes an array $expected and generates a regex from it to match the provided $string. Samples for $expected:
Checks for an input tag with a name attribute (contains any non-empty value) and an id attribute that contains 'my-input':
['input' => ['name', 'id' => 'my-input']]Checks for two p elements with some text in them:
[
['p' => true],
'textA',
'/p',
['p' => true],
'textB',
'/p'
]You can also specify a pattern expression as part of the attribute values, or the tag being defined, if you prepend the value with preg: and enclose it with slashes, like so:
[
['input' => ['name', 'id' => 'preg:/FieldName\d+/']],
'preg:/My\s+field/'
]Important: This function is very forgiving about whitespace and also accepts any permutation of attribute order. It will also allow whitespace between specified tags.

array$expected An array, see above

string$string An HTML/XHTML/XML string
-
bool$fullDebug optional Whether or not more verbose output should be used.
