Finally well written tests with composer loading structure

I stumbled, crawled on ground while having not proper setup in my old project that I should work on. and then I figured how I should structure my loading properties

here is what I had in my project

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Ziumper\\App\\": "src/",
      "Ziumper\\App\\": "tests/"
    }
  }
}

but this way all may classes seems to be loaded inside composer autload map. I knew there must be better way to solve that. Here is what I figured out

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Ziumper\\App\\": "src/"
    }
  },
  "autoload-dev": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Ziumper\\App\\": "tests/"
    }
  }
}

Durring that time I got some really serious issues, I couldn’t declare Traits in my tests folder and it was quite hard feeling to copy paste all that code, then I moved forward with next version.

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Ziumper\\App\\": "src/"
    },
    "exclude-from-classmap": ["tests/"]
  },
  "autoload-dev": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Ziumper\\App\\Tests\\Unit\\": "tests/unit",
      "Ziumper\\App\\Tests\\Integration\\": "tests/integration"
    }
  }
}

So how this works is:

• all declarations are stored inside src folder even those used for tests. Base test cases traits, data providers too.
• integration and tests are using src references and are giving me some nice working cases.
• exclude from classmap is a guard which stands in front of my testing code and doesn’t allow it to get into production loading flow.

I think this way I can start building something… that makes sense!
