FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package cakephp-test-helper
CakePHP TestHelper plugin
Browser based addons for your test driven development.
Note: This branch is for CakePHP 5.0+. See version map for details.
Motivation
After 2.x=>3.x, the "web-tester" has been removed. It was, for certain cases, however, quite useful. This aims to bring back a part of it.
The CLI also doesn't allow a good overview. Even with auto-complete, you have to type almost everything out. With a browser backend generating tests or running them is just a simple mouse click.
You have an overview of your classes and the test classes to it. If there is one missing, you can easily "bake" it from this web backend. It internally uses Bake plugin as well as your preferred theme.
Further useful addons
- URL array generation from string URLs (respects routing, so it is basically also a reverse lookup)
- Fixture validation tool (compares actual DB with the schema files: fields and attributes, constraints and indexes)
- GUI for fixture comparison and generation of missing ones per mouse click.
Installation
You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer:
Note: This is not meant for production, so make sure you use the --dev flag and install it as development-only tool.
Setup
Don't forget to load it under your bootstrap function in Application.php:
This will also load the routes.
non-dev mode
In certain apps it can be useful to have some of the helper functionality available also for staging and prod. Here you must make sure then to not load the routes, though:
And here you must use composer require without --dev flag then.
Usage
Navigate to /test-helper backend and select the app or plugin you want to check.
You can then with a single click
- check what classes do not yet have a test case
- generate a test case for them (or copy and paste a generated code into CLI)
- run test case
- check coverage on a tested class, as overall and in detail
Supported class types:
- [x] Controllers
- [x] Models (Tables/Entities)
- [x] Components
- [x] Behavior
- [x] Helpers
- [x] Commands
- [x] Tasks
- [ ] Cells
- [ ] CommandHelpers
- [ ] Forms
- [ ] Mailers
Feel free to help out improving and completing this test helper plugin.

Limitations
Executing the tests and coverage from the web backend usually can not work for long-running tests due to the timeout issues. Make sure you raise the apache/nginx settings here if you want to use this functionality here.
The focus is on providing an overview and quickly generating the desired classes with a single mouse click.
