Hide output during PHPUnit test execution

Question

I have some var_dumps in my php code (i understand what there must be none in the end, but still), and while tests are running they outputs non necessary information to cons

Answer 1

You can set the setOutputCallback to a do nothing function. The effect is to suppress any output printed in the test or in the tested class.

As Example:

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Tests;


class NoOutputTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {

    public function testSuppressedOutput()
    {
        // Suppress  output to console
        $this->setOutputCallback(function() {});
        print '*';
        $this->assertFalse(false, "Don't see the *");
    }

}

You can find some reference in the doc

Hope this help
