phpspec creates files in wrong folders per psr-4 namespace specification

Question

I scrapped the earlier form of my question because it was too convoluted. Here's the new version.

I want to use phpspec with my psr-4 formatted projects.

Here's the way I tried to set up a test project:

1. Created a new folder for the project:

   cd ~/Desktop/
   mkdir TestPhpSpec
   cd TestPhpSpec
   

2. create a new composer.json file and require phpspec:

   composer require phpspec/phpspec
   

Which creates my composer.json file:

    {
        "require": {
            "phpspec/phpspec": "^2.3"
        }
    }

3. I add my psr-4 namespace to the autoload property of my composer.json file:

   {
       "require": {
           "phpspec/phpspec": "^2.3"
       },
       "autoload": {
           "psr-4": {
               "Acme\\": "src/Acme"
           }
       }
   }
   

4. Then I dump my autoload to make sure my namespace is loaded: composer dumpautoload

5. After that, I create my phpspec.yml to describe the namespace to phpspec:

   suites:
     acme_suite:
         namespace: Acme
         psr4_prefix: Acme
   

6. Then I describe the class I want to start building:

   phpspec describe Acme/Markdown
   

This is where I run into the first problem. Even though I specify the Acme namespace in my describe command, the spec does not get placed in a folder matching the namespace:

Though the class it creates is namespaced correctly:

<?php

namespace spec\Acme; // correct namespace

use PhpSpec\ObjectBehavior;
use Prophecy\Argument;

class MarkdownSpec extends ObjectBehavior
{
    function it_is_initializable()
    {
        $this->shouldHaveType('Acme\Markdown');
    }
}

Then if I try to run the test to start TDD-ing.

    phpspec run

It offers to create the class for me and I let it. From there I get the second problem; I get the error message:

[PhpSpec\Process\Prerequisites\PrerequisiteFailedException] The type Acme\Markdown was generated but could not be loaded. Do you need to configure an autoloader?

And the class it creates is not in it's namespaced folder:

The class it creates is also namespaced correctly:

<?php

namespace Acme; // correct namespace

class Markdown
{
}

I've looked over the docs and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try with

suites:
  acme_suite:
      src_path: Acme/src
      spec_path: Acme/spec
