Re: [Simpletest-support] Strange behavior with expectError

[Chris C. <ch...@w3...>]

You're right, that does seem broken.  I haven't tested it myself but  
from the code you posted you should get a failure in test_m1 but not  
in test_m2.  It's as if SimpleTest is not resetting state correctly  
between the test methods and it thinks it's still waiting for an error  
to be raised.

Yes.

My next chance to look at this will be towards the end of next week.
SimpleTest has two strategies for mocking, subclassing or creating a
fake class with an identical interface. In this case it tried to
subclass when it wasn't capable. This should be easily fixable.

[Simpletest-support] Cannot mock if there is a protected abstract function

[Nicolas T. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi,

<?php

abstract class A {

    protected abstract function internal();

    public function hello() {
        return $this->internal();
    }
}
Mock::generate('A');

class AbstractTest extends UnitTestCase {

    function test_m() {
        $o = new MockA($this);
        $o->setReturnValue('hello', 123);
    }

}

?>

Fatal error: Class MockA contains 1 abstract method and must therefore
be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (A::internal)

Is it a bug?

Thanks,
Nicolas Terray

Why the Fail message speaks about test_m2 ? (tests shouldn't be independent?)
Why does it say "Expected true, got [Boolean: false]" ? (I didn't make
any assertion about True or False values)
Why does my test go green if i remove the function test_m2() ?

Thanks,
Nicolas

Re: [Simpletest-support] Strange behavior with expectError

[Jason S. <jsw...@ya...>]

Hi Nicolas,

Your code throws an exception, and does not raise an error, so the unit test is telling you that.  Everything appears to be working as expected with SimpleTest.

Jason

Strange, isn't it?

No, I haven't. After reading it, I can see the output of the tests in

It works under the hood by overriding the real method. This will not
work for private methods. If you are going to override the method, then
make it protected.

This is actually undefined behaviour :).

The idea of partial mocks is to automate a common pattern for inserting
dependencies - that of of overriding a factory method for testing
purposes. E.g...

class UserAgent {
    // Code that uses Socket...

    function createSocket($domain, $port) {
        new Socket($domain, $port);
    }
}

In the test...

class UserAgentWithMockSocket extends UserAgent {
    public $socket;

    function createSocket($domain, $port) {
        return $this->socket;
    }
}

class MyTest extends UnitTestCase {
    function test...() {
        $agent = new UserAgentWithMockSocket();
        $agent->socket = new MockSocket();
        ...
        $agent->fetch(...);
    }
}

Note that all the other functionality of UserAgent is unchanged here.
The override is only used to inject a dependency. It's still tested as a
unit ("behaviour testing").

Modern techniques of dependency injection render this kind of trick
obsolete. Dependencies are likely passed in the constructor these days,
or as setters. See "Dependency injection", "Service Locator" and
"Registry" for alternate patterns. It would mean rewriting some code,
but it should actually be that onerous.

Using the partial mocks to test individual methods is likely to be
brittle in the face of refactoring. I'm guessing here, but if the
classes are that complicated that you have to test them in pieces, then
you probably want to break them up into smaller classes. A sign that
this is the case is usually a lot of private methods and few public ones.

You don't strictly need to rewrite all your tests, if you can get away
with using protected access instead of private, but I think you will
want to. Right now you might be over testing a little, and is it
possible that the tests are difficult to read through being over technical?

I'd have to see some real code to be sure. Can you post any?

[Simpletest-support] PHP5, partial mock objects, mocking private methods

[Aaron C. <aar...@un...>]

Hi, I've recently started converting some old php4 libraries to php5. 
I've noticed that we have in the past taken liberties with php4 and 
simple-tests. A lot of my time has been spent converting test cases and 
learning new pitfalls, one such, is causing confusion.

I in the past we have written test cases on the method level. Each 
method had a test case, each call from within the tested method to 
another method was a call to a mocked method. e.g.

class thing {
public function something() {
    $somethingElseValue = $this->somethingElse(); <-- this will be mocked
    ...
}

public function somethingElse() {
    return 'something else';
}
}

I guess you may call this white-box testing, it allows for fine grain 
control and test cases which are quite independent of each other.

The problem is when it comes to mocking private methods. Using the 
example above: if the method /somethingElse/ is private, then it seems 
that it is no longer possible to mock the method e.g.

class thing {
public function something() {
    $somethingElseValue = $this->somethingElse(); <-- this will be mocked
    ...
}

private function somethingElse() {
    return 'somethingElse';
}
}
...
$returnReference = 'Bunny';
$partiallyMockedThing->setReturnReference('somethingElse', 
$returnReference);

In this second example the /somethingElse/ method is private, mocking 
the method and then running the test case will result in the variable 
/$somethingElseValue /having the string value of /something else 
/instead of  /Bunny/. In my experimentation I have found that: If I were 
to change the somethingElse method to public again, then the 
/$somethingElseValue/ would then have the string value of /Bunny 
/instead of  /something else/

I'm assuming that my understanding of test cases is limited and that I'm 
approaching this the wrong way, I would appreciate any clarification in 
this matter?

There is always a little glimmer of hope that let's me hold on to the 
possibility that this is not intended functionality and I don't have to 
re-write most of our test cases!

I often cannot remember my own code, but I think...

$this->assertField('Check this!', true);

The 1.1beta documentation is published up at http://simpletest.org/api/

The previous version of the API docs is now located at http://simpletest.org/api_1.0.1/

Most of my corrections were to eliminated phpDocumentor parsing errors, if anyone has corrections to the content, let me know or check into subversion and we can republish the docs when we roll the tarball.

[Simpletest-support] The 1.1 beta release

[Marcus B. <ma...@la...>]

Hi...

Apart from doc and bug fixes, everything is ready to go apart from one
wrinkle. There is a probably as yet undiscovered feature in the 1.1 code
- you can change the HTML parser.

If you issue this command at the start of the test suite, but after the
simpletest includes...

SimpleTest::setParsers(array(new SimpleTidyPageBuilder(),
                             new SimplePHPPageBuilder()));

...SimpleTest will first try to use the HTML Tidy parser, and if that
can't be done, falls back to the old native PHP one.

The HTML tidy parser is not enabled by default, because there are still
a couple of tweaks that need to be done to handle textarea events
properly. If that's not an issue, the Tidy based parser is about 4 times
faster.

I'm hoping to fix the remaining acceptance tests for the Tidy parser
before release. Then I have a quandry - whether to enable it by default.

I'd like to have the Tidy detection on, but risk a massive number of bug
reports. Could people try this mode out with their own test suites? If
everything works, then I can set it as the default and hopefully
everyone's tests will run faster, but they won't know why.

yours, Marcus

Hi Guys

Thank you for helping me. Once I'll get a change to try your suggestions 
out, I'll get back to you.

Does your debugger work by tailing the PHP error log? That is, is it 
intercepting the messages that would go to the browser, but for a 
php.ini setting hiding the errors.

To avoid duplicates when both a debugger and web page sees the 
errors, SimpleTest does not echo them to the debugger. That was the 
bit in the comment about the behaviour maybe changing later (it 
since has).

Three options:

1) Change the php.ini as Jason suggested, so that errors are visible 
on the web page on your dev. box.

2) Use the latest SVN version (PHP 5 only).

3) Remove the if clause of the error handler to do with "log_errors".

Does that help?

Re: [Simpletest-support] How is SimpleTestErrorHandler supposed to work?

[Jason S. <jsw...@ya...>]

Hi Mikkel,

The error reporting will respond to the currently specified error reporting level, suppressing notices if you have requested it (perhaps defaulted via php.ini)

Try adding

error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

To the top of your script.

Regards,
Jason

Subject: [Simpletest-support] How is SimpleTestErrorHandler supposed to work?

Hi

I have a situation here. I use version 1.0.1 of SimpleTest, and some 
logical errors seems to be supressed...

If I run the following code:
<?php
require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');

    class DamagedLogic
    {
      
        public function damagedFunction()
        {
*            // Should generate some kind of error.
            return $notDefinedVariable;
*        }
    }

    class DamageTestCase extends UnitTestCase  {
        function testDamagedFunction() {
            $damagedLogic = new DamagedLogic();
            $damagedLogic->damagedFunction();
        }
    }
  
    $test = &new DamageTestCase();
    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
?>

which sould generate some kind of error since the $notDefinedVariable is 
not defined, the test is reported as passing. When I step through the 
code, I see that the SimpleTestErrorHandler gets invoked, but still, no 
errors gets reported. The code documentation for the 
SimpleTestErrorHandler is:
/**
*    Error handler that simply stashes any errors into the global
*    error queue. Simulates the existing behaviour with respect to
*    logging errors, but this feature may be removed in future.
*    @param $severity        PHP error code.
*    @param $message         Text of error.
*    @param $filename        File error occoured in.
*    @param $line            Line number of error.
*    @param $super_globals   Hash of PHP super global arrays.
*    @static
*    @access public
*/
But is does not help me muct.

What am I missing here?
