Hi all,

@spyro
Did you try the latest repository version or zip version?

@PHP Four
Other than was is on the CIUnit web page and what you can find in the threads I do not know of anything yet - Requests like yours might be an incentive write one eg. in the wiki here..

@everyone
If you happen to have some simple test cases using CIUnit that you can share please do so! (For quick sharing just use the codeigniter wiki for example)

@MDomansky
Could you specify a bit more clearly what you are trying to test?

cheers

Hi,

I have tried using this and it seems to work, although I am getting the following errors

Severity: Warning
Message:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /opt/local/lib/php/PHPUnit/Util/Printer.php:168)
Filename: libraries/Session.php
Line Number: 662

This is when running the default controller test

phpunit ControllersAllTests from within the tests/controller dir, I also get it when running all tests from the tests directory when running all tests.

I am using version 1.5 with CI 1.7.1

Many thanks

Richard

Sorry I found that rafsoaken already answered my question… Although this seems a hacky way just to get a testing sweet to run…

But maybe it will be worth it….?

I ended up surpressing errors, which may defeat the point here, but maybe I can find some balance on that!??

if(defined(‘CIUnit_Version’))
{
error_reporting(E_ERROR);
}

Possible problem with alt CodeIgniter.php, I am using an alt db and load it with

$this->db1 = $this->load->database('no1', TRUE);

I then call actions on this with commands such as

$this->db1->insert('table', $data);

This works fine with the original CodeIgniter.php but with the doctored one it gives me

Fatal error: Call to a member function insert() on a non-object in /path_to_ccs_ci/system/application/models/model.php on line whatever

errors, how can I get this to work as it is looking to be a sweet useful solution for my testing needs..

Many thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,
I looked at it and changed some small bit in the fooStack Loader so it gives you your alternative db connection back properly. Please try the latest repository version from here: http://www.bitbucket.org/rafsoaken/ciunit/overview/
cheers

Raf,

Thanks for this and your valuable contribution to the CI community. It worked great…!

I also added the following line to my error_php.php file to get rid of the headers already sent error when testing controllers that use sessions…

<?php if(!(strstr($message, "Cannot modify header information ")&&defined;('CIUnit_Version')&&strstr;($line, "662"))){ ?>

<?php  } ?>

Many thanks

Richard

Thanks Richard,

That’s also a nice trick to avoid those header errors. I’ll keep that in mind!

cheers
raf

Raf and Everyone,

Even though I managed to hide the errors, I am unable to test controllers that use sessions to control a authenticated environment…

Any ideas on this?

Many thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

I think that is a general PHP / Framework Issue - You generally can’t set headers when running PHP from the commandline in a meaningful way, because you do not communicate with any clients. One way to still get what you want is e.g. that you set your session variables differently when running in test mode, e.g: a la “if( defined(‘CIUnit_Version’)){}".

View my answer to a similar question:

Or something more general here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/190292/phpunit-unit-testing-with-items-that-need-to-send-headers

hope that helps
cheers
raf

Thanks again for the follow up Raf,

I think you are right, I have been using php through the browser for so long and running php apps through the command line means there is stuff I need to think about…

But I will probably go on to create my own session management meaning I can continue using your library, which has already become extremely helpful and is becoming a big part of my work-flow when using PHP.

Thanks again

Richard

Hi, I’ve got an error when I run AllTests.php.
CI 1.7.1, PHP 5.2.6, PHPUnit 3.3.16, Xdebug 2.0.5

There is no Welcome.php, but welcome.php. I added code like this.
But this patch may be too adhoc.

If you want to test a redirect function then you can do this steps:
1. create a mock_helper helper with function

if (defined('CIUnit_Version')) {
    function redirect($uri = '', $method = 'location', $http_response_code = 302) {
        $CI =& get_instance();
        $CI->load->_ci_cached_vars['redirect_to'] = $uri;
    }
}

2. load mock helper BEFORE url helper
3. in you test method you can check redirect in this way

$this->CI->redir(); //call method with redirect
$data = viewvars(); //get all view vars
$this->assertSame('welcome/index', $data['redirect_to']); //check for redirect uri

HI I’ve just downloaded CIUnit 0.17 to unit test my code igniter application.
PHPUnit version 3.4.3
CI version 1.7.2

I’m now learning CI and built a really simple blog model class (doesn’t really do any thing yet)
but when I try to test it I get the Fatal error that the class has already been declared

$ phpunit --verbose AllTests.php

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Blog_modelTest in /var/www/CodeIgniter/system/application/tests/models/blog_model_test.php on line 16

the test code itself is also very simple -

<?php
include_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../CIUnit.php';

class Blog_modelTest extends CIUnit_TestCase {

    public function setUp() {    
        $this->CI->load->model('Blog_model');
    }

    function testGet_entries()
    {    
         $this->assertEquals(10, count($this->blog->get_entries));
    }


}

any idea why this would happen ?

if i run ‘phpunit AllTests.php’ in tests directory (system/application/tests) it works fine. but the time when i run’phpunit ModelsAllTests.php’ inside the subdirectory of test i.e(system/application/tests/models) it shows some error. inmy case it is

PHP Warning:  require(/opt/lampp/htdocs/calculator/system/application/libraries/fooStack/fooBase/../../../../../../application/libraries/fooStack/fooBase/Common.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/lampp/htdocs/calculator/system/application/libraries/fooStack/fooBase/CodeIgniter.php on line 39

what r the changes i need to do to overcome this?

i also want to know where should i write the test cases for a controller and a model respectively.
