Hi,

There's some documentation on how to write unit tests for eZ publish over at ezpedia.org:
http://ezpedia.org/ez/ez_publish_test_system

Cheers,

Hi Marouane:

I'm sorry to "Hijack" your thread but I wanted to ask how you got started with unit-testing in ez?

I mean, documentation for it is hard to come by - the info I found at ezpedia.org seems to assume a level of understanding not just of Unit Testing but Unit Testing with PHP - something I personally don't have (yet).

Are you (or anyone reading this) well-versed enough to write a brief Article for ez.no?

"Introduction to Unit Testing with eZ" ? :-)

I have obtained PHPUnit and checked-out the ez 'tests' directory from SVN but I keep getting errors from PHPUnit when running runtests.php.

#> php tests/runtests.php -D mysql:://ezpublish-D:ezD@localhost/ez_DEV
InvalidArgumentException:  in /usr/local/php/lib/php/PHPUnit/Framework/TestSuite.php on line 305

Call Stack:

    0.3213   11012232   7. PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite->addTestSuite() /home/russellm/svn/web/ezpublish/trunk/duty/tests/suite.php:17

Might this be down to me using an older version of ez? (I have 4.0.1rc2, PHP5.2.9, MySQL 5.0.22 on Linux FC9)

I would find a simple, step-by-step guide very helpful, as I would think others would too.

Thanks for reading,
Russ

@Ole - thanks for your response.

I still get the same error:

#> php tests/runtests.php -D mysql://my_user_name:my_user_password@localhost/my_DB_name

InvalidArgumentException:  in /usr/local/php/lib/php/PHPUnit/Framework/TestSuite.php on line 305

I'm using PHPUnit 3.3 on Linux FC9 with the ez 'tests' directory from SVN trunk rev23517 but with ez version 4.0.1rc2.

Am I required to upgrade my version of ez to match the tests downloaded via SVN in trunk?

Are there no legacy 'tests' directories available for older versions of ez?

Thanks a lot,
Russell

Hi Russ,

Are you sure the test files are autoloaded correctly?

The present trunk version includes an updated ezpgenerateautoloads.php file which accounts for the presence of the test directory.

Also, i noticed that the ' mysql_create_db' command within lib/ezmydb/classes/ezmysqldb.php file has been replaced in 4.1 with a direct "CREATE DATABASE" call.

by ignoring some lines in the file “tests/tests/kernel/suite.php”

        $this->addTestSuite( 'eZContentObjectRegression' );
        $this->addTestSuite( 'eZURLAliasMlTest' );
        //$this->addTestSuite( 'eZURLAliasMlRegression' );
        //$this->addTestSuite( 'eZURLTypeRegression' );
        //$this->addTestSuite( 'eZXMLTextRegression' );
        //$this->addTestSuite( 'eZApproveTypeRegression' );
        //$this->addTestSuite( 'eZMultiPriceTypeRegression' );
        //$this->addTestSuite( 'eZContentObjectStateTest' );
        $this->addTestSuite( 'eZContentObjectStateGroupTest' );

I could launch the tests partially, but I have always the same error message:

bychanging value of “language” in function “testGetChildren” in file "tests/tests/kernel/classes/urlaliasml_test.php", the unitest works!

        $child1->store();

        ++ $child2 = eZURLAliasML::create( __FUNCTION__ . "Child2", $action, $parent->ID, 1 );
        $child2->store();

        ++ $child3 = eZURLAliasML::create( __FUNCTION__ . "Child3", $action, $parent->ID, 3 );
        $child3->store();

        $children = $parent->getChildren();

        // Number of children should be 2 (child3 has different language and
        // should not be included in getChildren()).
        self::assertEquals( 2, count( $children ) );

        self::assertEquals( (int) $child1->attribute( 'id' ), (int) $children[0]->attribute( 'id' ) );
        self::assertEquals( (int) $child2->attribute( 'id' ), (int) $children[1]->attribute( 'id' ) );
    }

Somebody would have some explanations for this ?

Thanks

@Geoff

Thanks - trunk rev 22267 doesn't seem to have a 'tests' directory, at least not in the top-level where it is in HEAD anyway. Browsing the SVN releases dir for 4.0.1rc2 doesn't have one either. It appears 'tests' wasn't added until 4.1.0.

@Ole - it seems as I suspected that it's best to do this for a later stable release and use the same 'tests' dir that comes with it.

However - I just downloaded and attempted an install todo just this and couldn't get past the packages install/upload screen...(The "Remote repository URL is non existent: http://packages.ez.no/ezpublish/4.1/4.1.2/)

Downloading the package (ezwebin) separately and trying to upload it, fails also. The screen refreshes but nothing else happens...

@All:

Whether or not I get UT going with some version of ez - all I was asking really was whether someone better versed in UT than I, might write a brief article on Unit Testing for Ez. As it goes, I doubt very much whether anyone uses ez "out of the box" without *some* modifications to it meaning that testing new code to work with ez core stuff becoming all the more important - especially for those building extensions for ez.

Many thanks all,
Russell

Thank you everyone for your pointers and instruction:

I am now up and running with unit tests. I have upgraded to 4.1.3 and the instructions on ezpedia seem to have been updated very recently - both of which very possibly have helped too.

Many thanks all.

Hi I have the same problem as Russel. When I print out get_declared_classes I have about 250. So why is it limited to 30?

Cheers Andi,
