Publicise lets you test the private or protected properties and methods in your classes. Behind the scenes, it utilises PHP's ReflectionClass and offers a more readable api.

It is particularly useful for testing Fluent Interfaces.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kodeas/publicise

First, in your Test file or TestCase class, import the trait.

use Kodeas\Publicise\WithPublicise;
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class PubliciseTest extends TestCase
{
    use WithPublicise;
}

Then, you can reflect any class using $this->publicise()

/** @test */
public function can_call_private_method()
{
    $publicisedClass = $this->publicise(new YourClass());

    $publicisedClass->privateMethod();
}

composer test
