Tests


phpunit.xml is the configuration file for PHPUnit by default this file is configured to run tests only in the /tests/Feature and /tests/Unit

For your modules to be tested their paths need to be added to this file, manually adding entries for each module is not desirable so instead use a wildcard include to include the modules dynamically:

Copied!
<testsuite name="Modules">
<directory suffix="Test.php">./Modules/*/tests/Feature</directory>
<directory suffix="Test.php">./Modules/*/tests/Unit</directory>
</testsuite>

Also, ensure you've got the database connection set to sqlite and to use an in-memory database:

Copied!
<server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
<server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>

Add modules into code coverage by adding paths to the modules inside an include tag, use exclude to exclude certain folders from being scanned.

Copied!
<source>
<include>
<directory suffix=".php">./app</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules</directory>
</include>
<exclude>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/config</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/database</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/resources</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/routes</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/tests</directory>
</exclude>
</source>

#Example phpunit.xml

The file would look like this

Copied!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://schema.phpunit.de/10.0/phpunit.xsd" bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"
colors="true" cacheDirectory=".phpunit.cache">
<testsuites>
<testsuite name="Unit">
<directory suffix="Test.php">./tests/Unit</directory>
</testsuite>
<testsuite name="Feature">
<directory suffix="Test.php">./tests/Feature</directory>
</testsuite>
<testsuite name="Modules">
<directory suffix="Test.php">./Modules/*/tests/Feature</directory>
<directory suffix="Test.php">./Modules/*/tests/Unit</directory>
</testsuite>
</testsuites>
<source>
<include>
<directory suffix=".php">./app</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules</directory>
</include>
<exclude>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/config</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/database</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/resources</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/routes</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Modules/*/tests</directory>
</exclude>
</source>
<php>
<env name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<env name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
<env name="CACHE_STORE" value="array"/>
<env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
<env name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
<env name="MAIL_MAILER" value="array"/>
<env name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
<env name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<env name="TELESCOPE_ENABLED" value="false"/>
</php>
</phpunit>

Now when phpunit is run tests from modules and the global tests folder will run.

#Run test for a single module

When you run phpunit:

Copied!
vendor/bin/phpunit

All test will run.

#Run single test

If you want to only run a single test method, class or module you can use the filter flag:

Copied!
vendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'contacts'

This would run all tests inside the Contacts module.

Run a single test method:

Copied!
vendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'can_delete_contact'

This would match a test

Copied!
/** @test */
public function can_delete_contact(): void
{
$this->authenticate();
$contact = Contact::factory()->create();
$this->delete(route('app.contacts.delete', $contact->id))->assertRedirect(route('app.contacts.index'));
 
$this->assertDatabaseCount('contacts', 0);
}

Test a full test file:

Copied!
vendor/bin/phpunit --filter 'ContactTest'

#Use PestPHP

Using PestPHP https://pestphp.com.

Often you will want to run Pest testcase class, import it at the top of your file.

Copied!
uses(Tests\TestCase::class);

When using Pest you don't need classes the following would be a valid file:

Copied!
<?php
 
use Modules\Contacts\Models\Contact;
 
uses(Tests\TestCase::class);
 
test('can see contact list', function() {
$this->authenticate();
$this->get(route('app.contacts.index'))->assertOk();
});
 
test('can delete contact', function() {
$this->authenticate();
$contact = Contact::factory()->create();
$this->delete(route('app.contacts.delete', $contact->id))->assertRedirect(route('app.contacts.index'));
 
$this->assertDatabaseCount('contacts', 0);
});

Run test suite:

Copied!
vendor/bin/pest

If you want to only run a single test method, class or module you can use the filter flag:

Copied!
vendor/bin/pest --filter 'contacts'

This would match a test

Copied!
test('can_delete_contact', function() {
$this->authenticate();
$contact = Contact::factory()->create();
$this->delete(route('app.contacts.delete', $contact->id))->assertRedirect(route('app.contacts.index'));
 
$this->assertDatabaseCount('contacts', 0);
});
