Simple Test interface changes ============================= Because the SimpleTest tool set is still evolving it is likely that tests written with earlier versions will fail with the newest ones. The most dramatic changes are in the alpha releases. Here is a list of possible problems... No HTML when matching page elements ----------------------------------- This behaviour has been switched to using plain text as if it were seen by the user of the browser. This means that HTML tags are suppressed, entities are converted and whitespace is normalised. This should make it easier to match items in forms. Also images are replaced with their "alt" text so that they can be matched as well. No method SimpleRunner::_getTestCase() -------------------------------------- This was made public as getTestCase() in 1.0RC2. No method restartSession() -------------------------- This was renamed to restart() in the WebTestCase, SimpleBrowser and the underlying SimpleUserAgent in 1.0RC2. Because it was undocumented anyway, no attempt was made at backward compatibility. My custom test case ignored by tally() -------------------------------------- The _assertTrue method has had it's signature changed due to a bug in the PHP 5.0.1 release. You must now use getTest() from within that method to get the test case. Broken code extending SimpleRunner ---------------------------------- This was replaced with SimpleScorer so that I could use the runner name in another class. This happened in RC1 development and there is no easy backward compatibility fix. The solution is simply to extend SimpleScorer instead. Missing method getBaseCookieValue() ----------------------------------- This was renamed getCurrentCookieValue() in RC1. Missing files from the SimpleTest suite --------------------------------------- Versions of SimpleTest prior to Beta6 required a SIMPLE_TEST constant to point at the SimpleTest folder location before any of the toolset was loaded. This is no longer documented as it is now unnecessary for later versions. If you are using an earlier version you may need this constant. Consult the documentation that was bundled with the release that you are using or upgrade to Beta6 or later. No method SimpleBrowser::getCurrentUrl() -------------------------------------- This is replaced with the more versatile showRequest() for debugging. It only existed in this context for version Beta5. Later versions will have SimpleBrowser::getHistory() for tracking paths through pages. It is renamed as getUrl() since 1.0RC1. No method Stub::setStubBaseClass() ---------------------------------- This method has finally been removed in 1.0RC1. Use SimpleTestOptions::setStubBaseClass() instead. No class CommandLineReporter ---------------------------- This was renamed to TextReporter in Beta3 and the deprecated version was removed in 1.0RC1. No method requireReturn() ------------------------- This was deprecated in Beta3 and is now removed. No method expectCookie() ------------------------ This method was abruptly removed in Beta4 so as to simplify the internals until another mechanism can replace it. As a workaround it is necessary to assert that the cookie has changed by setting it before the page fetch and then assert the desired value. No method clickSubmitByFormId() ------------------------------- This method had an incorrect name as no button was involved. It was renamed to submitByFormId() in Beta4 and the old version deprecated. Now removed. No method paintStart() or paintEnd() ------------------------------------ You should only get this error if you have subclassed the lower level reporting and test runner machinery. These methods have been broken down into events for test methods, events for test cases and events for group tests. The new methods are... paintStart() --> paintMethodStart(), paintCaseStart(), paintGroupStart() paintEnd() --> paintMethodEnd(), paintCaseEnd(), paintGroupEnd() This change was made in Beta3, ironically to make it easier to subclass the inner machinery. Simply duplicating the code you had in the previous methods should provide a temporary fix. No class TestDisplay -------------------- This has been folded into SimpleReporter in Beta3 and is now deprecated. It was removed in RC1. No method WebTestCase::fetch() ------------------------------ This was renamed get() in Alpha8. It is removed in Beta3. No method submit() ------------------ This has been renamed clickSubmit() in Beta1. The old method was removed in Beta2. No method clearHistory() ------------------------ This method is deprecated in Beta2 and removed in RC1. No method getCallCount() ------------------------ This method has been deprecated since Beta1 and has now been removed. There are now more ways to set expectations on counts and so this method should be unecessery. Removed in RC1. Cannot find file * ------------------ The following public name changes have occoured... simple_html_test.php --> reporter.php simple_mock.php --> mock_objects.php simple_unit.php --> unit_tester.php simple_web.php --> web_tester.php The old names were deprecated in Alpha8 and removed in Beta1. No method attachObserver() -------------------------- Prior to the Alpha8 release the old internal observer pattern was gutted and replaced with a visitor. This is to trade flexibility of test case expansion against the ease of writing user interfaces. Code such as... $test = &new MyTestCase(); $test->attachObserver(new TestHtmlDisplay()); $test->run(); ...should be rewritten as... $test = &new MyTestCase(); $test->run(new HtmlReporter()); If you previously attached multiple observers then the workaround is to run the tests twice, once with each, until they can be combined. For one observer the old method is simulated in Alpha 8, but is removed in Beta1. No class TestHtmlDisplay ------------------------ This class has been renamed to HtmlReporter in Alpha8. It is supported, but deprecated in Beta1 and removed in Beta2. If you have subclassed the display for your own design, then you will have to extend this class (HtmlReporter) instead. If you have accessed the event queue by overriding the notify() method then I am afraid you are in big trouble :(. The reporter is now carried around the test suite by the runner classes and the methods called directly. In the unlikely event that this is a problem and you don't want to upgrade the test tool then simplest is to write your own runner class and invoke the tests with... $test->accept(new MyRunner(new MyReporter())); ...rather than the run method. This should be easier to extend anyway and gives much more control. Even this method is overhauled in Beta3 where the runner class can be set within the test case. Really the best thing to do is to upgrade to this version as whatever you were trying to achieve before should now be very much easier. Missing set options method -------------------------- All test suite options are now in one class called SimpleTestOptions. This means that options are set differently... GroupTest::ignore() --> SimpleTestOptions::ignore() Mock::setMockBaseClass() --> SimpleTestOptions::setMockBaseClass() These changed in Alpha8 and the old versions are now removed in RC1. No method setExpected*() ------------------------ The mock expectations changed their names in Alpha4 and the old names ceased to be supported in Alpha8. The changes are... setExpectedArguments() --> expectArguments() setExpectedArgumentsSequence() --> expectArgumentsAt() setExpectedCallCount() --> expectCallCount() setMaximumCallCount() --> expectMaximumCallCount() The parameters remained the same.
