Some help for Unit Testing, part II

[quote author="redguy" date="1208257716"]Yup, I did check your first post (why 2 posts actually?). I saw that your design behind the code is very similar to my design: having a sort of test-suite so you can automate the unit testing. It's to bad I run on a Windows box, else I might've given it a try. I also don't have that much time assigned to delving into it. If I have some time left in this iteration I might look into it a little deeper.

But atleast now I get a nice table with green/red cells indicating test status .[/quote]

Why two posts? Because [strike]I'm making this up as I go[/strike] my approach to unit testing with PHP/CI keeps evolving... ;-) (Watch for Part III, coming soon.)

If you have php.exe in your path, you should be able to invoke the following (save it, call it 'test.php' or something) to run all your tests:

Code:

<?php

$dir = opendir('controllers/test');

while (false !== ($f = readdir($dir))) {
  if ('.' == substr($f, 0, 1)) {
    continue;
  }
  $g = '/test/' . str_replace('.php', '', $f);
  print `php cmdline.php $g`;
}

closedir($dir);

?>

Invoke it thusly:

Code:

C:\>php test.php

Note that I've only tested this on a Linux box, not windows (I don't know if my wife would look kindly on having a LAMP stack appear on the family computer, so here I sit in the basement w/my boxen...) But it should work.
