Thank you for the great PR. Whitelist can be useful.

I tried to test __DIR__ and __FILE__ (see 06d98c8) and it seems that these constants works as expected. Could you describe when they did not work?

@dg That's only a guess. It was deep within Laravel's call stack. Perhaps the added layer of Docker caused the problem. We stopped digging at some point and just created the exclusion. In any case, even if the bug was somewhere else, this still covers a number of legitimate scenarios.

I am thinking about method name… It is not entirely clear that this is about paths, ie allowed paths. What about setAllowedPaths()? Or simply setPaths()? setDirectories()?

Sure, whichever you prefer.

Actually phpspec stops generating PHP classes based on specs:

warning: file_get_contents(/usr/local/var/www/myproject/src/Repository/UserOrderRepository.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/var/www/newonline/vendor/dg/bypass-finals/src/
  BypassFinals.php line 211

Was able to get it working with @afilina fork and custom phpspec bootstrap:

<?php

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

DG\BypassFinals::setWhitelist(findFinalClassesToBypass());
DG\BypassFinals::enable();

function findFinalClassesToBypass(): array
{
    $finalClasses = (new Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder())
        ->in([__DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony/security-core'])
        ->name('*.php')
        ->contains('final class');

    return array_values(array_map(
        function (SplFileInfo $fileInfo) {
            return $fileInfo->getRealPath();
        },
        iterator_to_array($finalClasses)
    ));
}

@afilina Thanks! 👍

@dg PR will be merged & released? This feature is very important for me too

@afilina - great thx! 👍

Isn't the name kinda misleading since you cannot just set a path, but need to set every filepath individually? Also it doesn't take into consideration the difference between operating systems (\ vs /).
