Remove unittest-specific callbacks for checking access and displaying the calendar events on the dashboard. This will allow plugin developers unittest the full behavior of how their plugins add events to the dashboard. Reset all static caches between unittests.
PHPUnit testing support in Moodle
Documentation
Composer installation
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP projects. It installs PHP libraries into /vendor/ subdirectory inside your moodle dirroot.
- install Composer - http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
- install PHUnit and dependencies - go to your Moodle dirroot and execute
php composer.phar install
Configure your server
You need to create a new dataroot directory and specify a separate database prefix for the test environment, see config-dist.php for more information.
- add
$CFG->phpunit_prefix = 'phpu_';
to your config.php file - and
$CFG->phpunit_dataroot = '/path/to/phpunitdataroot';
to your config.php file
Initialise the test environment
Before first execution and after every upgrade the PHPUnit test environment needs to be initialised, this command also builds the phpunit.xml configuration files.
- execute
php admin/tool/phpunit/cli/init.php
Execute tests
- execute
vendor/bin/phpunit
from dirroot directory - you can execute a single test case class using class name followed by path to test file
vendor/bin/phpunit core_phpunit_basic_testcase lib/tests/phpunit_test.php
- it is also possible to create custom configuration files in xml format and use
vendor/bin/phpunit -c mytestsuites.xml
How to add more tests?
- create
tests/
directory in your add-on - add test file, for example
local/mytest/tests/my_test.php
file withlocal_my_testcase
class that extendsbasic_testcase
oradvanced_testcase
- add some test_*() methods
- execute your new test case
vendor/bin/phpunit local_my_testcase local/mytest/tests/my_test.php
- execute
php admin/tool/phpunit/cli/init.php
to get the plugin tests included in main phpunit.xml configuration file
Windows support
- use
\
instead of/
in paths in examples above
