Re: whats the relationship between CakePHP 1.2 test suite N SimpleTest

2007-05-09 Thread ks 

Mariano,

Am I missing something simple? Can you let me know an example were you
were able to use with redirect? Should I do something different in my
application.

I am keen to use your new framework for our unit tests but right now I
am blocked on this.

Thanks

 I have tried writing some tests. This looks great. Thanks.

 I am running into an issue when my controller actions is doing
 redirects. For e.g. in my login action, the user is redirected to
 another page if login is successful. However the cake redirect
 function has an exit in it ( which is useful for the web application)
 but thetestframework exits when that happens.

 What is the best way to handle this? In TestSuite, I think the
 dispatch maybe handled differently since I was able totestthe same
 action with a post.

 Thanks

   Say you have typical Articles controller, with articles model, and it 
   looks
   like this:

   ?php

   class ArticlesController extends AppController {
   var $name = 'Articles';
   var $helpers = array('Ajax', 'Form', 'Html');

   function index($short = null) {
   if (!empty($this-data)) {

   if (!empty($short)) {
   $result = $this-Article-findAll(null, 
   array('id',
   'title'));
   } else {
   $result = $this-Article-findAll();
   }

   if (isset($this-params['requested'])) {
   return $result;
   }

   $this-set('title', 'Articles');
   $this-set('articles', $result);
   }

   }

   ?

   Create then a file named articles_controller.test.php on your
   app/tests/cases/controllers directory and inside put:

   ?php

   class ArticlesControllerTest extends CakeTestCase {
   function startCase() {
   echo 'h1StartingTestCase/h1';
   }

   function endCase() {
   echo 'h1EndingTestCase/h1';
   }

   function startTest($method) {
   echo 'h3Starting method ' . $method . '/h3';
   }

   function endTest($method) {
   echo 'hr /';
   }

   function testIndex() {
   $result = $this-testAction('/articles/index');
   debug($result);
   }

   function testIndexShort() {
   $result = $this-testAction('/articles/index/short');
   debug($result);
   }

   function testIndexShortGetRenderedHtml() {
   $result = $this-testAction('/articles/index/short',
   array('return' = 'render'));
   debug(htmlentities($result));
   }

   function testIndexShortGetViewVars() {
   $result = $this-testAction('/articles/index/short',
   array('return' = 'vars'));
   debug($result);
   }

   function testIndexFixturized() {
   $result = $this-testAction('/articles/index/short',
   array('fixturize' = true));
   debug($result);
   }

   function testIndexPostFixturized() {
   $data = array('Article' = array('user_id' = 1, 
   'published'
   = 1, 'slug'='new-article', 'title' = 'New Article', 'body' = 'New
   Body'));
   $result = $this-testAction('/articles/index',
   array('fixturize' = true, 'data' = $data, 'method' = 'post'));
   debug($result);
   }

   }

   ?

   Ok couple of things:

   * In second parameter of testAction() you send an array with attributes.
   Among others use:

   - return: set to what you want returned. Valid values are: 'vars'
   (so you get the view vars available after executing action), 'render' (so
   you get html generated once action is run), or 'return' to get the 
   returned
   value when action uses $this-params['requested']. Default is 'return'.

   - fixturize: set to true if you want your models auto-fixturized 
   (so
   your application tables get copied, along with their records, totesttables
   so if you change data it does not affect your real application.) If you

Mariano,

Great!

Do you know when that will be available in ? We currently need to
write unit tests for our controllers and I am debating if we should
wait until this is released or use testsuite in the meantime and move
to CakeTest once thats available?

Re: whats the relationship between CakePHP 1.2 test suite N SimpleTest

2007-04-17 Thread ks 

Both use SimpleTest. In the case of test suite, you have add that in
your vendors folder as well.

From what I was able to do:

TestSuite allows you to test your controllers using get/post as well
which is useful. I did not find that in the CakeTest

TestSuite integrates with bake2 and can run from the command line as
well. Although with a small change to test.php ( that cake uses) you
can get that working from the command line as well.

Not sure if someone has found a way to test controllers with get/post
in CakeTest
