behat-ls on windows

[tvl83]

First of all, there isn't a ls command in windows, obviously. So I used dir which is roughly the equivalent (I like ls better).

I am in the FeatureContext.php file and did a var_dump($this->output) and this is what I get

array(11) {
  [0] =>
  string(32) " Volume in drive C has no label."
  [1] =>
  string(34) " Volume Serial Number is 1094-4CD1"
  [2] =>
  string(0) ""
  [3] =>
  string(78) " Directory of C:\Users\Thomas\PhpstormProjects\symfony\behat-ls\test\test\test"
  [4] =>
  string(0) ""
  [5] =>
  string(40) "01/21/2014  07:56 PM    <DIR>          ."
  [6] =>
  string(41) "01/21/2014  07:56 PM    <DIR>          .."
  [7] =>
  string(46) "01/21/2014  07:56 PM                 0 hammond"
  [8] =>
  string(43) "01/21/2014  07:56 PM                 0 john"
  [9] =>
  string(45) "               2 File(s)              0 bytes"
  [10] =>
  string(50) "               2 Dir(s)   3,029,737,472 bytes free"
}

so the array_search($string, $this->output) fails.

What can I use to make this pass, if anything?

On a side note: also because I am on windows the system('rm -r '.realpath('test')); doesn't work for me so I figured out that system('rd /S /Q '.realpath('test')); is what needs to be used.

After a little more digging I figured out how to get behat-ls to work. But for windows it's more accurately called behat-dir

instead of the array_search() we are going to do loop over the $this->output with a foreach if it is found in there we flip a bool and if the bool isn't flipped at the end of the loop then we throw the exception.

$found=false;

        foreach($this->output as $line)
        {
            if(strpos($line, $string) !== false)
                $found = true;
        }

        if(!$found)
            throw new  \Exception(sprintf('Did not see "%s" in the output', $string));

Oh yea, set the $output as an array using annotation up top.

     /**
     * @var array
     */
     private $output;

This let's us iterate over the $output variable with foreach. (I don't know if this is absolutely necessary but my IDE (PHPStorm) was yelling at me about it. My scenario is passing now :)
