Place to write common methods containing tests - mzl_sadat - 02-05-2023
Hi there.
Where should the methods that contain test statements and are shared between test controllers be written to run without problems? I could not call them correctly in a library in the support folder. It produces an error in setContext.
thanks

In order to take advantage of the additional tools provided, your tests must extend CIUnitTestCase.
All tests are expected to be located in the tests/app directory by default.

thank you.
So should I put them in a controller and call the required methods from other controllers?
How do I call them?
I tried this, but this controller is not found in other controllers.
None of this works:
1-
public function testOneMethod(){
$base= new Tests\App\Controllers\BaseTest();
$base->insertTestRecord();
}
Or
2-
public function testOneMethod(){
$base= new BaseTest();
$base->insertTestRecord();
}
Error: Class "Tests\App\Controllers\BaseTest" not found

To enable Controller Testing you need to use the ControllerTestTrait trait within your tests:

My problem has not been solved yet, but thank you very much for your reply.

All tests are expected to be located in the tests/app directory by default.
So you should be able to place them in another folder.
WATCH out for namespaces and the use causes.

In a base TestCase class for testing controllers.
PHP Code:
abstract class BaseControllerTestCase extends CIUnitTestCase
{
}
PHP Code:
class FooControllerTest extends BaseControllerTestCase
{
}

Thank you.
I have placed these two classes in the tests/app/Controllers directory as follows:
- BaseControllerTestCase
- MyTest
But when I run testOneMethod from MyTest class I get this result:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Tests\App\Controllers\BaseControllerTestCase" not found in D:\xampp\htdocs\project\tests\app\Controllers\MyTest.php:5
I don't understand where the problem is.
It does not matter whether this line is or not (in MyTest class):
use Tests\App\Controllers\BaseControllerTestCase;
Code:
namespace CodeIgniter;
use CodeIgniter\Test\CIUnitTestCase;
abstract class BaseControllerTestCase extends CIUnitTestCase {
protected function setUp(): void {
parent::setUp();
}
protected function tearDown(): void {
parent::tearDown();
}
public function myMethod(){
print_r('-------ok---------');
}
}[/quote]
Code:
namespace CodeIgniter;
use Tests\App\Controllers\BaseControllerTestCase;
class MyTest extends BaseControllerTestCase {
protected function setUp(): void {
parent::setUp();
}
protected function tearDown(): void {
parent::tearDown();
}
public function testOneMethod(){
$this->myMethod();
}

Tests\App\Controllers\BaseControllerTestCase
Did you configure PSR-4 autoloader?
It seems better you learn PHP's namespaces.
