[Simpletest-support] Tutorials not quite working

[Ken I. <ken...@gm...>]

The testing scripts are producing blank HTML with my apache server, but
outputting the appropriate results in the bash shell.
Are there some configuration issues that I am missing?

I am building the directory /var/www/simpletest
Subdirectories
classes
temp
tests
tests/simpletest

Testing script
TestOfLogging.php

I have not done unit testing before so I'm just working to get a handle on
the concept as quickly as possible.

Re: [Simpletest-support] How to log the HtmlReport to a file from php

[Adonis El F. <ad...@ay...>]

Hi Guys,

I tried to use the recorder class but I am not getting anywhere, i can run an individual test extending UnitTestCase
and the HtmlReporter

If I try the same with a recorder I get  "Missing argument 1 for SimpleReporterDecorator::__construct(),"

this is what I am trying to execute.  Does anyone know how to grab the run results for a unit test into an array? the reporter example is using a testsuite and autorun which I can not run inside my app. Any ideas?

--- code snippet -start ---
require_once('simpletest/unit_tester'); //note the unit_tester not autorun
require_once('simpletest/recorder.php');
require_once('simpletest/reporter');

$test = new test_smarty_function_hello_world($plugin_vars,$local_vars);
$test->run(new HtmlReporter()); // this works
$test->run(run Recorder()); // this does not 



class test_smarty_function_hello_world extends UnitTestCase
{
    var $plugin_vars; 
    var $local_vars;

    function test_smarty_function_hello_world($plugin_vars,$local_vars) {
        $this->plugin_vars  = $plugin_vars;
        $this->locale       = $local_vars['locale'];
        $this->time         = $local_vars['time'];
        $this->debug        = $local_vars['debug'];
        $this->business_id  = $local_vars['business_id'];
    }


    function testIfPuntoObjectNotNull()
    {
        $this->assertNotNull($this->plugin_vars);
    }

    function testIfParamsDebugIsFalse()
    {
        $this->assertFalse($this->debug);
    }
}

---- end code snippet --

[Simpletest-support] How to log the HtmlReport to a file from php

[Adonis El F. <ad...@ay...>]

Hi,

I am trying to do something a little different than usual with simpletest.

I am embedding tests in existing code that is used on a web environment, and most of our code is procedural so at certain checkpoints we execute the tests.

Our code already outputs text that goes to the web interface, and what we would like to do is have the simpletest reports be sent to a file, that we can open from a different interface and if it is xml, can be fed to an xUnit parser.  Right now when we execute the tests, the output is clearly seen in the web page, so we are looking for a way to make the simpletest report message go to a file or a variable.

Right now I call the code simply like this

$test = new test_smarty_punto_display_menu($punto_object,$params,$time_start,$time_end);
$test->run(new HtmlReporter());

where the class file has this

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/simpletest/unit_tester.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/simpletest/reporter.php');

class test_smarty_punto_display_menu extends UnitTestCase
{
    var $punto_object; // pass the punto_object to do some sanity tests on it
    var $params; //pass the params coming in to see if they are complete
    var $time_start;
    var $time_end;

    function test_smarty_punto_display_menu($punto_object,$params,$time_start,$time_end) {
        $this->punto_object = $punto_object;
        $this->params = $params;
        $this->time_start=$time_start;
        $this->time_end=$time_end;
    }

    function setUp() { }

    function testIfPuntoObjectNotNull()
    {
        $this->assertNotNull($this->punto_object);
    }

    function testIfParamsDebugIsFalse()
    {
        $params = $this->params;
        $this->assertFalse($params['debug']);
    }

    function testIfParamsLocaleIsTrue()
    {
        $params = $this->params;
        $this->assertTrue($params['locale']);
    }

    function testIfExecTimeIsLessThanHalfASecond()
    {
        $value = $this->time_end - $this->time_start ;
        $this->assertTrue($value < 0.5);
    }

    function testIfParamsLayoutIsVerticalOrHorizontal()
    {
        if (   $this->params['layout'] == 'vertical' || $this->params['layout'] == 'horizontal' ) {
            $is_valid = TRUE;
        } else {
            $is_valid = FALSE;
        }
        $this->assertTrue($is_valid);
    }

    function tearDown() { }
}


Since our code is already called from web, and it has output, I would like to get the reporter send it to a log file.

I have poked around in code, documentation and web searches and no luck in finding hints on how to do this.  Is it possible? How can I run the test and be able to direct the output to a variable to be printed or saved to a log file.  It would be awesome if I can still use the three report styles text, html and xml so we can use the output format that is best for the occasion.

Please note that I can not run the code on command line. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Nor was it intended to be. It was a statement of your using a public
site to develop and test your application, which may expose your site
to hacking if you haven't fully developed and tested it yet.

This is a configurable item, which you may not be *able* to configure
on free.fr, but you could on your own VM.

I know that SimpleTest would work on others environments (and in my 
vms), that's not my point SimpleTest is a great software.
The possibility of someone hacking my internet site ? Sorry, this answer 
is highly unlikely the source of my problem :

*Warning*: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in 
*/mnt/169/sda/6/0/ddd321/stt/simpletest/socket.php* on line *255*

I think this the problem may be with fopen or something else not allowed 
to open something in another network etc..

Hi,

I can't solve your particular issue with free.fr, but I might be able

What if you set up a local Virtual Machine (using, say Virtual Box)
and run the tests against that? That way you can control the entire
environment from top to bottom and not incure the possibility of
someone hacking your internet site while it's still under development?

[Simpletest-support] Fatal error on simpletest get method

[kaescrat <kae...@ao...>]

Hi :-)

I'm trying to get SimpleTest working on a french free ftp provider 
(free.fr). It's php 5 (I added a htaccess for that) but I can't get this 
to work :


<?php

require_once('simpletest/browser.php');

$browser = &new SimpleBrowser();
$page = $browser->get('http://yahoo.com');

?>

The error is :

[Simpletest-support] Expect Arguments

[Manuel S. <man...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have a problem with my mocked objects: The number of calls for class 
member functions is counted correctly, but SimpleTest (v1.1.0) seems to 
ignore the expected function arguments. E.g. in this code it does not 
matter what the url is really like:

     $mock_http = new MockHttp($settings);
     $mock_http->returns('download', true);

     $urls = [ 'http://10.0.0.1:8080/' ];
     $mock_http->process($urls); # this calls 'download' internally

     $expected_urls = [ 'http://10.0.0.1:8080/ FOOOO BAR' ];
     $mock_http->expect('download', [$expected_urls]);

The it does not matter if $urls == $expected_urls or not. The test 
always passes. It only fails if I remove the $mock_http->process($urls) 
call.

What am I doing wrong here?

Re: [Simpletest-support] learning unit testing with simpletest

[Kevin N. <Cap...@un...>]

Thank you very much, this was a lot of help (and a bit to chew on). I 
never thought of starting at the acceptance level, but that sounds 
pretty useful. I'll give that a try. With SimpleTest I assume I can use 
the "full browser" to actually push the buttons, fill the forms and pull 
the levers as a real user would to create the acceptance tests?

Thanks again,

Kevin N.

Re: [Simpletest-support] learning unit testing with simpletest

[Noel D. <ma...@mc...>]

Hi

> The concepts I have trouble
> with are primarily around the differences between a unit test and an
> integration test.

A unit test has a tight focus on single "units" of behaviour. As you
put a class through its paces in a series of tests, you'll most likely
be using mocks to represent the object's neighbours.

An integration test (probably) doesn't use mocks but instead makes
assertions about the behaviour of groups of real objects acting
together. You could mock around the edges of the group though.

An acceptance test manipulates the user interface and make assertions
about what should happen next. That, I guess, is the ultimate
integration test, where you're testing the entire application, top to
bottom.

Testing makes most sense working top to bottom ie describe a behaviour
in a (failing) acceptance test and then work your way down through all
the classes you need to make the test pass - test first of course :)
Always code to a failing test.

In this way testing becomes a design tool. It's a really lovely way to
work. You'll often hear test-infected programmers say "if you
concentrate on writing tests, the code just seems to write itself". The
act of writing a clear test for a single behaviour really helps to
bring the mind into focus. It makes you take decisions. It breaks a
complex task down into lots of little, easy-to-manage steps. If you are
careful always to do the simplest thing to make the test work, it can
lead you off in design directions you might not have thought of. It's a
bit like the process of evolution, lots of little changes guided by
fitness for purpose eventually leading to all kinds of strange beasts
that no-one could have predicted in the beginning.

Refactoring is an important part of the design process. You need
to go back and review what you've done from time to time, looking for
ways to improve the design. Maybe you can make something simpler
and easier to understand (naming is very important here) or maybe you
want to open up a space to drop in a new behaviour.

When you're refactoring, unit tests can be a bit of a nuisance, in a
way. Units define very precise behaviours which you are about to change
in the refactoring, and so a whole pile of tests will need to be dumped
or redone. In some ways it's easier to refactor to acceptance tests,
and integration tests because they don't care how about the details of
how things get done, just the results. However, when an acceptance is
failing, it won't be able to explain why, unlike a unit test.

The main thing I try to do when I'm writing tests is make them read
well, as far as I can like I'm writing a manual for the application. I
will forget how the app works in a few months or so but I'm bound to be
asked to debug a problem or add a new feature somewhere down the line.
Good, easy-to-understand tests let me look up all the behaviours again
and figure out the details of the component parts.

One of the best things you can do for your code, if you haven't
already, is move object assembly out into a specialist "object graph"
class - ideally a dependency injector like Phemto. Even a custom class,
or classes, with a bunch of manually-written functions which do nothing
but instantiate objects, wire them in to the graph, and return them can
be a big step forward. With good design, this allows you to change
behaviours very easily in the assembler class, simply by dropping a
different object into the graph. In dependency injection, you would
adjust a config file and the injector does all the work for you.

Sorry I don't have time to look at your code but I'll try to do that
later next week.

[Simpletest-support] learning unit testing with simpletest

[Kevin N. <Cap...@un...>]

Hi there,

I've been playing with simpletest on an open source project to try and 
learn unit testing (I did something similar with JavaScript recently and 
that was quite informative).

While I was able to get some unit tests going, and they did help 
tremendously, I am looking to deepen my knowledge of unit tests and of 
code design in general. Is this an appropriate place to discuss 
something like that?

Here is what I'm using simple test for (there are very few tests in this 
right now):
https://github.com/adcSTUDIO/OnceForm

The JS unit tests I did are in this project (I overdid it here, this was 
literally the first time I ever tried unit testing anything):
https://github.com/CaptainN/SignalsLite.js

I'm completely self taught, and learned almost completely alone over 12 
years from internet searches and books - I'm dying for real critical 
feedback. If anyone has any pointers for either of those code bases 
(they are both pretty small), I'd love to hear it - especially as they 
relate to restructuring code to be more unit test friendly (as is the 
focus of this list). The concepts I have trouble with are primarily 
around the differences between a unit test and an integration test.

Thanks!

Kevin N.

[Simpletest-support] Test Timings

[Simpletest-support] Extend HtmlReporter fail-counter problem

[<md...@gm...>]

I extend the HtmlReporter, the pass-Message and count is correct, but the error-Message show with line "parent::paintFail($message);" the orignal Error-Output and then my output.
But when i remove the line "parent::paintFail($message);" only my error output is visible (thats what i want), but the error-counter show 0 (expected are 2 errors) and pass counter show 4 (expected 2).

class ShowPasses extends HtmlReporter {
	function paintPass($message){
		parent::paintPass($message);
		$this->paintMessage($message, true);
	}
	function paintFail($message){
		parent::paintFail($message); // <-- Problem here?
		$this->paintMessage($message, false);
	} // paintFail
	function paintMessage($message, $showPass){
          // ... output
        }
}

There may just be an off-by-one bug to test suites counts. See if that's the case with yours! It has been reported, but probably still exists in some code versions.

Re: [Simpletest-support] SimpleBrowser hanging due to content-length

[Roy R. <tch...@gm...>]

The bug you posted:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51330
Has an answer that says it's related to the server's keep-alive designation. Perhaps a library that simple test browser uses respects keep-alive. 

If you can modify that header, that may solve the timeout.

This is just a random guess, but it sounds like whatever you're

[Simpletest-support] html5 elements go undetected by simpletest browser.

[Roy R. <tch...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I use html5, and the simpletest browser simply drops the new html5 form
input types (e.g. email, number, etc).  I tried adding them to the tags
code, but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Does anyone know of a workaround for working with html5 <input type=email>,
<input type=number>, etc?

Thanks,
--Roy

[Simpletest-support] SimpleBrowser hanging due to content-length

[Roger Y. <ry...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am attempting to communicate with a web-based RFID door controller.  All
operations via PHP to the unit's IP address hang, but it works in a browser.

When I use SimpleBrowser, it will hang until ConnectionTimeout and then
work.  So it takes 15 seconds (default timeout) to get a response:

  echo $browser->get('192.168.1.240');

This gives me a response back in 1 second.

  $browser->setConnectionTimeout(1);
  echo $browser->get('192.168.1.240');

I am getting all the contents of the page returned, but SimpleBrowser isn't
happy.  It thinks everything is failing and I can't proceed:

getURL() = http://192.168.1.240/ACT_ID_1
getHeaders() = POST /ACT_ID_1 HTTP/1.0
Host: 192.168.1.240
Connection: close
Content-Length: 43
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=abc&pwd=123&logId=20090416
getTransportError() = Nothing fetched
getResponseCode() = 0

So, the timeout gets triggered, and I get a response finally but it assume
failure.

I determined it was content-length related due to this post I found at
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51330

This operation hangs forever:

$content = file_get_contents('http://192.168.1.240');

But this one returns immediately because I give it a maximum length of
content to expect:

$content = file_get_contents('http://192.168.1.240/', NULL, NULL, 0, 1000);

Is there a way/fix to set SimpleBrowser to respond/react appropriately and
not hang/timeout?  Like a header or something I can set?

Thanks,
Roger
