Scope of Change

As with the "unittest" command, the xpcli-Runner will also accept filenames as class names.


Rationale

  • Use of tab-completion
  • Consistency with "unittest"


Functionality

The util.cmd.Runner class will check for the first argument containing the string ".class.php" (or actually, whatever xp::CLASS_FILE_EXT constant is defined for), and then try to find the class in the classpath.

To run a Command class, you can use the following: 

  # Use class name
  $ xpcli fully.qualified.ClassName

  # Use filename
  $ xpcli fully/qualified/ClassName.class.php

Note

Using filenames only works if classes are found in the classpath, otherwise there is no way to infer the classname from the file's name!
