sR Unit

This package contains all necessary components to write unit tests for oxid modules - including bootstrapping and mocking capabilities.

Installation

Just add the following requirement to the composer.json of your project, and call composer update superreal/srunit

"superreal/srunit": "0.10.*@dev"

All required packages will be installed automatically (e.g. PHPUnit, Mockery).

Setup Unit Tests for Module

The following steps are needed to setup unit testing for your module.

Module Configuration

Add phpunit.xml to module-root with at least the following content:

<phpunit bootstrap="tests/bootstrap.php">
  <testsuites>
    <testsuite name="Module Tests">
        <directory>tests</directory>
    </testsuite>
  </testsuites>
  <listeners>
    <listener class='SrUnit\Adapter\Phpunit\TestListener' />
  </listeners>
</phpunit>

Project/Shop Configuration

Add phpunit.xml to shop-root with the following content:

<phpunit bootstrap="tests/bootstrap.php">
  <testsuites>
    <testsuite name="Project Tests">
        <directory>tests</directory>
    </testsuite>
    <testsuite name="Module Tests">
        <directory>modules</directory>
    </testsuite>     
  </testsuites>
  <listeners>
    <listener class='SrUnit\Adapter\Phpunit\TestListener' />
  </listeners>
</phpunit>

Once you've done that you can run phpunit from your shop root, and all tests will be performed (project- and module-related).

Note: Adding the TestListener has the effect, that after each test the expectations are verified.

Bootstrap

Your tests should be placed in tests. Under tests you place your bootstrap.php with the following content:

\SrUnit\Bootstrap::create(__DIR__)->bootstrap();

The bootstrapping process will retrieve all needed directories on its own, and will load the composer autoloader, and a custom autoloader for the classes of your OXID module - based on the configuration in your metadata.php.

This also applies when you're running your tests from your shop-root. In that case the bootstrapping will set up autoloading for all tests, even the tests within your modules. But this is based on the correct configuration of your module. Meaning: the module is responsible to set up the autoloading correct.

This is done first of all by adding the "autoload" configuration in your composer.json. If you need to define more than one directory for one Namespace (e.g. for your tests) you have to do it there. Additional to that, the metadata.php is taken into account. Either in the "extend", and/or the "files" section.

TestCases must derive from SrUnit\TestCase

All of your TestCases should extend the SrUnit\TestCase in order to enable the OXID related functionatities or convience-methods.

Loading OXID

OXID is not loaded by default. Basic functionalities like oxNew() or oxDb::getDb() are emulated. You can control their behaviour by using mocks.

In case you need OXID loaded (e.g. for integration tests) you can load OXID by adding a group annotation:

@group needs-oxid

The TestListener will activate the loading of OXID for the particular tests, and enabling/disabling the needed module superreal/srunit-module. This module has to be required in your composer.json as well - otherwise the test will die with an Exception.

Running phpunit

When you set up your environment as mentioned before, you can run phpunit either in your shop-root, or in a specific module. But in order to have the autoloading setup correctly you need to run the phpunit that is shipped with composer. Depending on your setup you can use the following calls:

bin/phpunit
vendor/bin/phpunit

Using the Mock-Factory

The Factory supports you on creating mocks to replace the dependencies of your SUT. It takes care of OXID-related requirements also, with a easy understandable fluent interface.

When you call the getMock() method at the end of the method-chain you will get back a Mockery\MockInterface with small additions (e.g. implementsArrayAccess()).

The underlying libraries is Mockery, even if it is not called directly, you will get back the Mock object from Mockery.

Creating Simple Mocks

Simple Mock, simple call:

$mock = Factory::create('TestClass')->getMock();

Afterwards you can define the behaviour of the mock by simply use the Mockery methods:

$mock->shouldReceive('getParam')->andReturn('a-value')

Testing OXID Extensions

When it comes to extending OXID core classes (e.g. oxArticle) you might need to test whether your implementation is correct or not. In case you don't need to have the whole OXID stack to test your implementation, you can mock just the _parent class by doing this:

$mock = Factory::createParentClass('\SrMyExtensionOxArticle_parent')->getMock();

Be aware that this call will actually define a class SrMyExtensionOxArticle_parent with the behaviour you will apply on it.

Meaning: After the initial instantiation the class it will have the same behaviour for the whole PHP process. Whenever you'll create a new instance, you will get the same results. When you need different behaviour for different tests you have to run your tests in isolation by adding the following annotation to your test method:

/**
 * @runInSeparateProcess
 */
public function testInSeparateProcess()
{
    // ...
}

Integration Tests with Usage of OXID-Factory

In case you need to test the integration of your module or you'd like to use the OXID factory in order to have the whole stack available, you can use the following call:

$mock = Factory::create('\oxArticle')
    ->registerForOxNew()
    ->getMock();

This call will create a mock, and will also register this mock-object to be retrieved on every call of oxNew('oxArticle'). This is pretty usefull when you have dependant classes that make usage of oxNew() calls very often, and you're not able to change this behaviour from the outside.

Provisioned Mocks

Often you don't want to create mocks, and apply the same behaviour over and over again. For this case you can use provisioning to get back mocks with default values/stubs.

$mock = Factory::create('\oxArticle')
    ->useProvisioning()
    ->getMock();

In some cases this call will lead to an Exception because no provisioner is available. You need to implement a provisioner on your own then.

Mocks with Interfaces

You can define the interfaces a mock should implement, like this:

$mock = Factory::create('TestClass')
    ->implementsInterface('\Iterator')
    ->implementsInterface('\Mockable')
    ->getMock();

Be Aware: the interface must exist!

For some Iterator interfaces there is already a stubbing mechanism of the particular methods enabled:

  • Iterator
  • ArrayAccess

For those interfaces it is needed to pass on data to the method in order to have the desired behaviour:

$data = array('foo', 'bar', 'barz');

$mock = Factory::create('TestClass')
    ->implementsInterface('\Iterator', $data)
    ->getMock();

You will iterate over the given data, when you use this mock.

Mocking the Filesystem

If your SUT depends on the filesystem, and you want to set up a certain test environment, you can use the filesystem-utility.

Create the Filesystem

You are able to choose between a virtual or a physical filesystem. Whereas a virtual filesystem is suitable for most of the cases, sometimes it's necessary to go with a physical filesystem (e.g. if you're dealing with symlinks).

(The virtual filesystem is realized with vfsStream)

$fs = new VirtualFilesystem($rootDir);

or

$fs = new Filesystem($rootDir); 

By using TestCase::createFilesystem()

Within your TestCase you can call the method createFilesystem(). You're able to choose between a virtual or a physical filesystem by passing on a second parameter. Either way, the usage is the same.

$fs = $this->createFilesystem('/tmp', FilesystemInterface::VIRTUAL);

or

$fs = $this->createFilesystem('/tmp', FilesystemInterface::PHYSICAL);

Info: Even if you choose a physical filesystem and define /tmp as the root-directory, the created environment is not written to system temporary directory /tmp.

Create Directories and Files

You will get back an object which implements the FilesystemInterface:

  • createDirectory()
  • createFile()
  • tearDown()

You can create directories and files with fullpaths.

$filesystem->createDirectory('path/to/diretory');
$filesystem->createFile('path/to/file.txt');

In return you will get an SplFileInfo object you can work with.

Clean up Environment

In order to control the clean up process of your tests, you need to call the tearDown() method (e.g. in your TestCase's tearDown() method).

protected function tearDown()
{
    $this->filesystem->tearDown();
}

Actually this is only needed if you're using the physical filesystem, because the virtual one only exists in memory and is removed automatically. But in order to keep it consistent: stick to this approach.
