Unit Testing Library - Help :)

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello There,

I am using https://github.com/Xeoncross/Testify.php and trying to create a unit testing system so that I can do calls to controller/model functions and "then do isEqual or what not on the results".

However I am a bit confused as to how to make calls to controllers/models and include the default CI variables so they can be called exactly like they would in a normal CI instance.

So I could do maybe

Code:

<?php

require __DIR__.'/src/Testify.php';
require __DIR__.'/codeigniter/controllers/controller.php';

$tf = new Testify("Test Suite");

$tf->Test(function($tf) {
  $tf->isEqual($this->controllerFunction($variables),1);
});

Or something. Any pointers/help?

CI has its own unit testing library, read the userguide.

Though, I've never use any of unit testing, cannot comment any further.

To work more directly with CI, you might try Jens Roland's TOAST (http://jensroland.com/projects/toast/)

I've made some changes to my copy to support PHPUnit's syntax (https://bitbucket.org/dbowling/toaster)

Testing controllers in CodeIgniter is hard, but you shouldn't have much logic in them anyways... testing models, libraries, and helpers is what's important.
