AbstractConstraint
abstract class AbstractConstraint extends Constraint
| internal | This class is not covered by the backward compatibility promise | 
Abstract base class for inheritance constraints (ExtendsClass, ImplementsInterface, UsesTrait, etc.).
Methods
Initializes the constraint.
Returns a string representation of the constraint.
Evaluates the constraint for parameter $other. Returns true if the constraint is met, false otherwise.
Returns the description of the failure.
Returns short description of what we examine, e.g. 'impements interface'.
Returns short negated description of what we examine, e.g. 'does not impement interface'.
Returns an array of "inherited classes" -- eiher interfaces $class implements, parent classes it extends or traits it uses, depending on the actual implementation of this constraint.
Checks if $subject may be used as an argument to inheritance().
Returns a custom string representation of the constraint object when it appears in context of an $operator expression.
Returns the description of the failure when this constraint appears in context of an $operator expression.

    Returns the description of the failure.
The beginning of failure messages is "Failed asserting that" in most cases. This method should return the second part of that sentence.

    Returns a custom string representation of the constraint object when it appears in context of an $operator expression.
The purpose of this method is to provide meaningful descriptive string in context of operators such as LogicalNot. Native PHPUnit constraints are supported out of the box by LogicalNot, but externally developed ones had no way to provide correct strings in this context.
The method shall return empty string, when it does not handle customization by itself.
