Laravel默认包含生产中的composer autoloader的UnitTest文件。 怎么预防？

Question

By default Laravel loads all UnitTest files via the composer autoloader, the official composer.json looks like this:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        ...      
        "app/tests/TestCase.php"
        ...
    ]
},

This will be used in development and in production, as there's not dev/prod switch afaik. As tests are never run in production, it might be overdozed to load them all.

Question:

How to prevent the Composer autoloader to load all UnitTest files in certain scenarios (like in production) ? Or am I totally misunderstanding something here ?

Answer 1

There is an option called autoload-dev in composer which may just be what you need. Here's the link: https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#autoload-dev

In fact, the example provided is precisely that of only autoloading Testing classes when in development mode.
