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 silverstripe-test-assist
Symbiote Testing Extensions Module
Adds several helpers to the base SilverStripe testing framework to simplify hooking the testing process into CI servers such as Jenkins, by parameterising several configuration options.
Additionally, the module provides the SymbioteSeleniumTestCase which provides a
simpler API for writing Selenium powered tests.
Command line parameters
To help with test execution, there's a few parameters that can be used to assist in speeding things up if you're repeatedly running tests.
build=0- do not perform a dev/build during test initialisationclean=0- do not wipe out existing database stateflush=0- do not perform a manifest flush during test initialisation
Selenium
To run just the selenium tests, a commandline such as
Note: The trailing slash in the URL is important!
should get you going. Note that you will need to have selenium server running for this to work. A command such as the following will start selenium server in a virtual framebuffer, meaning the windows don't launch all over your screen!
However it can be useful to run the selenium server directly from the commandline to debug why a test has failed.
Diagnostic tools
Swap from using MySQLDatabase to DevMySQLDatabase in your DB config
Codeception
To hook codeception up for your project, you will need to create a codeception.yml config file at the top level of your project.
codeception.yml defines the paths of modules to be included in the test runs.
Within your module, you can then create a namespaced project specific set of tests to be included in that top level path.
- mkdir modulename/codeception
- cd modulename/codeception
- ../../vendor/bin/codecept bootstrap --namespace modulenamespace
- mv codeception.yml codeception.dist.yml
- touch .gitignore
Note that 'modulenamespace' can be anything, as long as it's a valid PHP namespace string
Next, create a new codeception.yml file that contains just your local
environment codeception configuration; this will typically be the local URL
for developer testing, ie
Update modulename/codeception/tests/functional.suite.xml and add a couple of
modules
Update modulename/codeception/tests/_bootstrap.php to include the
SilverstripFunctional helper
Update modulename/codeception/tests/unit/_bootstrap.php to set up the
environment for unit testing:
Now, add the following to .gitignore
Include your module in the top level codeception.yml
And lastly, start writing tests! In modulename/codeception/tests/functional/FirstTestCept.php
In modulename/codeception/tests/unit/SmokeTest.php
From the top level of the project
$ ./vendor/bin/codecept run
A note on better buttons
Some of the in-built helper methods won't work if better buttons is installed. If this the case, add
\Symbiote\TestAssist\SilverstripeFunctional.use_better_buttons: true
in codeception.dist.yml
