1====== DokuWiki Test Suite ======
2
3This is the test suit to automatically test various parts of DokuWiki.
4
5===== Requirements =====
6
7  * PHPUnit 3.6.10+ http://www.phpunit.de/
8  * PHP 5.3+ http://www.php.net
9
10===== PHPUnit Installation ======
11
12via PEAR:
13
14  pear config-set auto_discover 1
15  pear upgrade
16  pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit
17
18on Windows:
19
20  FIXME
21
22
23===== Running all Tests =====
24
25Just change to the ''_test'' directory and run phpunit:
26
27  cd _testing/
28  phpunit
29
30PHPUnit will fail on some systems with a //headers already sent// error.
31This is a known problem with PHPUnit, the error can be avoided by passing the
32'--stderr' flag to phpunit:
33
34  phpunit --stderr
35
36===== Running selected Tests =====
37
38You can run a single test file by providing it as an argument to phpunit:
39
40  phpunit --stderr tests/inc/common_cleanText.test.php
41
42You can also use groups to exclude certain test from running. For example use
43the following command to avoid long running test or tests accessing the
44Internet.
45
46  phpunit --stderr --exclude-group slow,internet
47
48===== Create new Tests =====
49
50To create a test for DokuWiki, create a *.test.php file within the tests/
51folder. Please respect the folder structure and naming convention. Inside the
52file, implement a class, extending 'DokuWikiTest'. Every method, starting
53with 'test' will be called as a test (e.g. 'testIfThisIsValid');
54
55
56===== TODO for the test framework =====
57
58  * test cross platform compatibility: especially test windows
59  * update http://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:unittesting
60  * optional: add helper methods to TestRequest for easy form submission
61    * createForm(), ...
62  * check PHP Unit test_helpers https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-test-helpers
