Step 1] Install pear and PHPUnit
Here are the steps I used in Leopard.
First install PEAR:
#cd /tmp
#curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear > go-pear.php
#sudo php -q go-pear.php
press enter, choose option 1 the prefix directory as "/usr/local" this will install the pear executable to /usr/local/bin/ and the PEAR files to /usr/local/PEAR
After the install finishes try typing:
#pear
If it doesn't work, the install failed or the $PATH variable doesn't include the /usr/local/bin dir.
Next, install PHPUnit using pear:
#sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
#sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
If it gives you any warnings about folder permissions you might have to do something like #sudo chmod 777 the temp dir or wherever its complaining about.
Once pear installs PHPUnit try running it in the commandline
#phpunit
It should run ok. If you get any warnings you will have to look at your php config file.
If your php.ini isnt located in /etc/php.ini you'll have to create a symbolic link as such. For example, I develop using XAMPP so my php config is in /Applications/xampp/etc/php.ini.
#ln -s /Applications/xampp/etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini
Next edit /etc/php.ini to make sure the include_path to PHPUnit is correct
#sudo mate /etc/php.ini
Mine looks something like this.
include_path = ".:/php/includes:/usr/local/PEAR:/usr/local/PEAR/PHPUnit"
Try running PHPUnit again in the command line.
#phpunit
If it doesn't give any warnings, move on to step 2.
Step 2] Create the /tests and /tests/myapp folders.
Your Zend project structure should look something like this:
/myapp/
/myapp/application/
/myapp/application/controllers/
/myapp/application/models/
/myapp/application/views/
/myapp/application/views/scripts/
/myapp/library/
/myapp/library/Zend/
/myapp/tests/
/myapp/tests/myapp/
Step 3] Create the /myapp/application/controllers/IndexControllerTest.php file
This file is to test the IndexController.
class MyApp_public_IndexControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
public function setUp()
{
$this->bootstrap = APPLICATION_PATH . '/bootstrap.php';
parent::setUp();
}
/**
* Tests FooController->barAction()
*/
public function testIndexAction()
{
// TODO Auto-generated FooControllerTest->testBarAction()
$this->dispatch ( '/index/index' );
$this->assertController ( 'index' );
$this->assertAction ( 'index' );
}
}
Step 4] Create the /myapp/tests/myapp/AllTests.php file
define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../application/'));
set_include_path(
APPLICATION_PATH.'/../library'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path()
);
if (!defined('PHPUnit_MAIN_METHOD')) {
define('PHPUnit_MAIN_METHOD', 'MyApp_AllTests::main');
}
require_once('Zend/Test/PHPUnit/ControllerTestCase.php');
require_once APPLICATION_PATH . 'controllers/IndexControllerTest.php';
class MyApp_AllTests
{
public static function main()
{
PHPUnit_TextUI_TestRunner::run(self::suite());
}
public static function suite()
{
$suite = new PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite('All Tests - MyApp');
$suite->addTestSuite('MyApp_public_IndexControllerTest');
return $suite;
}
}
if (PHPUnit_MAIN_METHOD == 'MyApp_AllTests::main')
{
MyApp_AllTests::main();
}
Step 5] Run AllTests.php
Open the terminal and navigate to the folder where you created AllTests.php
#cd XYZ/myapp/tests/myapp/
#phpunit AllTests.php
PHPUnit 3.3.10 by Sebastian Bergmann.
.
Time: 0 seconds
OK (1 test, 2 assertions)
Hope this started you off okay. Goodluck!
P.S.
Leopard's included PHP does not have PDO_Mysql included by default.
In your Zend_Config_Ini you can use mysqli instead.
Example /application/config/app.ini
[production]
webhost = www.awebsite.com
database.adapter = pdo_mysql
database.params.host = localhost
database.params.username = auser
database.params.password = apassword
database.params.dbname = adatabase
[development : production]
[testing : production]
database.params.dbname = adatabase
#leopard's compiled php doesn't have PDO_MYSQL
database.adapter = mysqli
