-<h2>Unit test cases</h2>
-</a>
-</p>
- <p>
- The core system is a regression testing framework built around
- test cases.
- A sample test case looks like this...
-<pre>
-<strong>class FileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-}</strong>
-</pre>
- If no test name is supplied when chaining the constructor then
- the class name will be taken instead.
- This will be the name displayed in the test results.
- </p>
- <p>
- Actual tests are added as methods in the test case whose names
- by default start with the string "test" and
- when the test case is invoked all such methods are run in
- the order that PHP introspection finds them.
- As many test methods can be added as needed.
- For example...
-<pre>
-require_once('../classes/writer.php');
-
-class FileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
- function FileTestCase() {
- $this->UnitTestCase('File test');
- }<strong>
-
- function setUp() {
- @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
- }
-
- function tearDown() {
- @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
- }
-
- function testCreation() {
- $writer = &new FileWriter('../temp/test.txt');
- $writer->write('Hello');
- $this->assertTrue(file_exists('../temp/test.txt'), 'File created');
- }</strong>
-}
-</pre>
- The constructor is optional and usually omitted.
- Without a name, the class name is taken as the name of the test case.
- </p>
- <p>
- Our only test method at the moment is <span class="new_code">testCreation()</span>
- where we check that a file has been created by our
- <span class="new_code">Writer</span> object.
- We could have put the <span class="new_code">unlink()</span>
- code into this method as well, but by placing it in
- <span class="new_code">setUp()</span> and
- <span class="new_code">tearDown()</span> we can use it with
- other test methods that we add.
- </p>
- <p>
- The <span class="new_code">setUp()</span> method is run
- just before each and every test method.
- <span class="new_code">tearDown()</span> is run just after
- each and every test method.
- </p>
- <p>
- You can place some test case set up into the constructor to
- be run once for all the methods in the test case, but
- you risk test inteference that way.
- This way is slightly slower, but it is safer.
- Note that if you come from a JUnit background this will not
- be the behaviour you are used to.
- JUnit surprisingly reinstantiates the test case for each test
- method to prevent such interference.
- SimpleTest requires the end user to use <span class="new_code">setUp()</span>, but
- supplies additional hooks for library writers.
- </p>
- <p>
- The means of reporting test results (see below) are by a
- visiting display class
- that is notified by various <span class="new_code">assert...()</span>
- methods.
- Here is the full list for the <span class="new_code">UnitTestCase</span>
- class, the default for SimpleTest...
- <table>
-<tbody>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertTrue($x)</span></td><td>Fail if $x is false</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertFalse($x)</span></td><td>Fail if $x is true</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNull($x)</span></td><td>Fail if $x is set</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNotNull($x)</span></td><td>Fail if $x not set</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertIsA($x, $t)</span></td><td>Fail if $x is not the class or type $t</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNotA($x, $t)</span></td><td>Fail if $x is of the class or type $t</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertEqual($x, $y)</span></td><td>Fail if $x == $y is false</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNotEqual($x, $y)</span></td><td>Fail if $x == $y is true</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertIdentical($x, $y)</span></td><td>Fail if $x == $y is false or a type mismatch</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNotIdentical($x, $y)</span></td><td>Fail if $x == $y is true and types match</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertReference($x, $y)</span></td><td>Fail unless $x and $y are the same variable</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertCopy($x, $y)</span></td><td>Fail if $x and $y are the same variable</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertWantedPattern($p, $x)</span></td><td>Fail unless the regex $p matches $x</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNoUnwantedPattern($p, $x)</span></td><td>Fail if the regex $p matches $x</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertNoErrors()</span></td><td>Fail if any PHP error occoured</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertError($x)</span></td><td>Fail if no PHP error or incorrect message</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">assertErrorPattern($p)</span></td><td>Fail unless the error matches the regex $p</td>
-</tr>
- </tbody>
-</table>
- All assertion methods can take an optional description to
- label the displayed result with.
- If omitted a default message is sent instead which is usually
- sufficient.
- This default message can still be embedded in your own message
- if you include "%s" within the string.
- All the assertions return true on a pass or false on failure.
- </p>
- <p>
- Some examples...
-<pre>
-<strong>$variable = null;
-$this->assertNull($variable, 'Should be cleared');</strong>
-</pre>
- ...will pass and normally show no message.
- If you have
- <a href="http://www.lastcraft.com/display_subclass_tutorial.php">set up the tester to display passes</a>
- as well then the message will be displayed as is.
-<pre>
-<strong>$this->assertIdentical(0, false, 'Zero is not false [%s]');</strong>
-</pre>
- This will fail as it performs a type
- check as well as a comparison between the two values.
- The "%s" part is replaced by the default
- error message that would have been shown if we had not
- supplied our own.
- This also allows us to nest test messages.
-<pre>
-<strong>$a = 1;
-$b = $a;
-$this->assertReference($a, $b);</strong>
-</pre>
- Will fail as the variable <span class="new_code">$a</span> is a copy of <span class="new_code">$b</span>.
-<pre>
-<strong>$this->assertWantedPattern('/hello/i', 'Hello world');</strong>
-</pre>
- This will pass as using a case insensitive match the string
- <span class="new_code">hello</span> is contained in <span class="new_code">Hello world</span>.
-<pre>
-<strong>trigger_error('Disaster');
-trigger_error('Catastrophe');
-$this->assertError();
-$this->assertError('Catastrophe');
-$this->assertNoErrors();</strong>
-</pre>
- This one takes some explanation as in fact they all pass!
- </p>
- <p>
- PHP errors in SimpleTest are trapped and placed in a queue.
- Here the first error check catches the "Disaster"
- message without checking the text and passes.
- This removes the error from the queue.
- The next error check tests not only the existence of the error,
- but also the text which here matches so another pass.
- With the queue now empty the last test will pass as well.
- If any unchecked errors are left at the end of a test method then
- an exception will be reported in the test.
- Note that SimpleTest cannot catch compile time PHP errors.
- </p>
- <p>
- The test cases also have some convenience methods for debugging
- code or extending the suite...
- <table>
-<tbody>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">setUp()</span></td><td>Runs this before each test method</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">tearDown()</span></td><td>Runs this after each test method</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">pass()</span></td><td>Sends a test pass</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">fail()</span></td><td>Sends a test failure</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">error()</span></td><td>Sends an exception event</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">sendMessage()</span></td><td>Sends a status message to those displays that support it</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">signal($type, $payload)</span></td><td>Sends a user defined message to the test reporter</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">dump($var)</span></td><td>Does a formatted <span class="new_code">print_r()</span> for quick and dirty debugging</td>
-</tr>
- <tr>
-<td><span class="new_code">swallowErrors()</span></td><td>Clears the error queue</td>
-</tr>
- </tbody>
-</table>

-<h2>Extending test cases</h2>
-</a>
-</p>
- <p>
- Of course additional test methods can be added to create
- specific types of test case too so as to extend framework...
-<pre>
-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-<strong>
-class FileTester extends UnitTestCase {
- function FileTester($name = false) {
- $this->UnitTestCase($name);
- }
-
- function assertFileExists($filename, $message = '%s') {
- $this->assertTrue(
- file_exists($filename),
- sprintf($message, 'File [$filename] existence check'));
- }</strong>
-}
-</pre>
- Here the SimpleTest library is held in a folder called
- <em>simpletest</em> that is local.
- Substitute your own path for this.
- </p>
- <p>
- This new case can be now be inherited just like
- a normal test case...
-<pre>
-class FileTestCase extends <strong>FileTester</strong> {
-
- function setUp() {
- @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
- }
-
- function tearDown() {
- @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
- }
-
- function testCreation() {
- $writer = &new FileWriter('../temp/test.txt');
- $writer->write('Hello');<strong>
- $this->assertFileExists('../temp/test.txt');</strong>
- }
-}
-</pre>
- </p>
- <p>
- If you want a test case that does not have all of the
- <span class="new_code">UnitTestCase</span> assertions,
- only your own and <span class="new_code">assertTrue()</span>,
- you need to extend the <span class="new_code">SimpleTestCase</span>
- class instead.
- It is found in <em>simple_test.php</em> rather than
- <em>unit_tester.php</em>.
- See <a href="group_test_documentation.html">later</a> if you
- want to incorporate other unit tester's
- test cases in your test suites.
- </p>
-
- <p>
-<a class="target" name="running_unit">
-<h2>Running a single test case</h2>
-</a>
-</p>
- <p>
- You won't often run single test cases except when bashing
- away at a module that is having difficulty and you don't
- want to upset the main test suite.
- Here is the scaffolding needed to run the a lone test case...
-<pre>
-<?php
- require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');<strong>
- require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');</strong>
- require_once('../classes/writer.php');
-
- class FileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
- function FileTestCase() {
- $this->UnitTestCase('File test');
- }
- }<strong>
-
- $test = &new FileTestCase();
- $test->run(new HtmlReporter());</strong>
-?>
-</pre>
- This script will run as is, but will output zero passes
- and zero failures until test methods are added.
