TYPO3 CMS ComposerInstallers TestingFramework Bridge for extension development

Mission

This composer plugin has the intermediate mission to keep extension development testing against TYPO3 v12 working, which recently added enforced CMS Composer Installers 5. This breaks the way testing works.

Until proper overwork of the whole testing infrastructure is done, this plugin provides proper symlinked TYPO3 system extension and the extension to the known "legacy paths". Thus, Unit-, Functional and Acceptance testing works as before without any changes in extensions which already tests against TYPO3 v12. This also helps when using typo3/cms-composer-installers:4.0.0-RC1 with v11.

Starting with 0.1.x of this composer plugin project level testing is also supported.

⚠️ This is an unofficial intermediate workaround, which may vanish anytime.

Installation and usage

This plugin should be only added as development dependency, so it get not shipped and installed on installation in a instance.

composer require --dev sbuerk/typo3-cmscomposerinstallers-testingframework-bridge

The plugin uses already provided information and configuration from composer and the CMS Composer Installers, thus no configuration needed for this plugin.
