BraincraftedTestingBundle

Handcrafted in Vienna by Florian Eckerstorfer.

About

This bundle currently provides an abstract class to better isolate functional tests of Symfony2 applications. The WebTestCase class drops the schema, recreates it and loads all fixture files. Currently DoctrineFixturesBundle is a required dependency of this bundle.

At some point this bundle may contain other useful classes, services and helpers related to testing.

Installation

You need to add bundle to your composer.json file:

{
    "require-dev": {
        "braincrafted/testing-bundle": "@stable"
    }
}

Tip: You should replace @stable with a specific version.

Compatibility

TestingBundle is developed to always work with the latest version of Symfony. The following table helps you choose the right version of TestingBundle.

Symfony version	TestingBundle version
v2.3.*	v0.1.*
v2.4.*-v2.5.*	v0.2.*-v0.3.*
v2.6+	v0.4+

The master branch has been updated to be compatible with Symfony 2.3. If you are using Symfony <2.3 you can use the 0.1 branch.

Add the bundle to your kernel (only activate the bundle in the dev and test environment, you don't need to have it activated in the production environment):

// app/AppKernel.php

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        // ...
        if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
            $bundles[] = new Braincrafted\Bundle\TestingBundle\BraincraftedTestingBundle($this);
            // ...
        }
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}

Usage

The test cases that you want isolate must extend Braincrafted\Bundle\TestingBundle\Test\WebTestCase.

// AcmeDemoBundle/Tests/DemoTest.php
namespace AcmeDemoBundle\Tests;

use Braincrafted\Bundle\TestingBundle\Test\WebTestCase;

class DemoTest extends WebTestCase
{
    // ...
}

By default WebTestCase provides a setUp() and a tearDown() method that boot respectively shut down the kernel. However, if you have your own setUp() and/or tearDown() methods in your test case you need to manually do this.

// AcmeDemoBundle/Tests/DemoTest.php
namespace AcmeDemoBundle\Tests;

use Braincrafted\Bundle\TestingBundle\Test\WebTestCase;

class DemoTest extends WebTestCase
{
    public function setUp()
    {
        $this->setUpKernel();
        // ...
    }

    public function tearDown()
    {
        $this->tearDownKernel();
        // ...
    }
}

If you require a client in your test case, you can use the createClient() method:

$client = $this->createClient();

createClient() will call setUpKernel() when no kernel is available at this point.

You can also access the dependency injection container of the kernel:

$container = $this->getContainer();

Render Crawler HTML

The WebTestCase class also has an nice helper method that returns the HTML code of a crawler. You can use it in all test cases that subclass Braincrafted\Bundle\TestingBundle\Test\WebTestCase:

echo $this->renderCrawlerHtml($crawler);

Testing Translation Keys

BraincraftedTestingBundle installs an alternative translator that is only activated in the test environment. This translator returns the translation key instead of the translated text. That way you can use the translation keys in your functional tests instead of the translated text.
