Example:</p> - -<code>$test = 1 + 1;<br /> -<br /> -$expected_result = 2;<br /> -<br /> -$test_name = 'Adds one plus one';<br /> -<br /> -$this->unit->run($test, $expected_result, $test_name);</code> - -<p>The expected result you supply can either be a literal match, or a data type match. Here's an example of a literal:</p> - -<code>$this->unit->run('Foo', 'Foo');</code> - -<p>Here is an example of a data type match:</p> - -<code>$this->unit->run('Foo', 'is_string');</code> - -<p>Notice the use of "is_string" in the second parameter? This tells the function to evaluate whether your test is producing a string -as the result. Here is a list of allowed comparison types:</p> - -<ul> -<li>is_object</li> -<li>is_string</li> -<li>is_bool</li> -<li>is_true</li> -<li>is_false</li> -<li>is_int</li> -<li>is_numeric</li> -<li>is_float</li> -<li>is_double</li> -<li>is_array</li> -<li>is_null</li> -</ul> - - -<h2>Generating Reports</h2> - -<p>You can either display results after each test, or your can run several tests and generate a report at the end. -To show a report directly simply echo or return the <var>run</var> function:</p> - -<code>echo $this->unit->run($test, $expected_result);</code> - -<p>To run a full report of all tests, use this:</p> - -<code>echo $this->unit->report();</code> - -<p>The report will be formatted in an HTML table for viewing. If you prefer the raw data you can retrieve an array using:</p> - -<code>echo $this->unit->result();</code> - - -<h2>Strict Mode</h2> - -<p>By default the unit test class evaluates literal matches loosely. Consider this example:</p> - -<code>$this->unit->run(1, TRUE);</code> - -<p>The test is evaluating an integer, but the expected result is a boolean. PHP, however, due to it's loose data-typing -will evaluate the above code as TRUE using a normal equality test:</p> - -<code>if (1 == TRUE) echo 'This evaluates as true';</code> - -<p>If you prefer, you can put the unit test class in to strict mode, which will compare the data type as well as the value:</p> - -<code>if (1 === TRUE) echo 'This evaluates as FALSE';</code> - -<p>To enable strict mode use this:</p> - -<code>$this->unit->use_strict(TRUE);</code> - -<h2>Enabling/Disabling Unit Testing</h2> - -<p>If you would like to leave some testing in place in your scripts, but not have it run unless you need it, you can disable -unit testing using:</p> - -<code>$this->unit->active(FALSE)</code> - -<h2>Unit Test Display</h2> - -<p>When your unit test results display, the following items show by default:</p> - -<ul> - <li>Test Name (test_name)</li> - <li>Test Datatype (test_datatype)</li> - <li>Expected Datatype (res_datatype)</li> - <li>Result (result)</li> - <li>File Name (file)</li> - <li>Line Number (line)</li> - <li>Any notes you entered for the test (notes)</li> -</ul> - -You can customize which of these items get displayed by using <kbd>$this->unit->set_items()</kbd>. For example, if you only wanted the test name and the result displayed:</p> - -<h3>Customizing displayed tests</h3> - -<code> - $this->unit->set_test_items(array('test_name', 'result')); -</code> - -<h3>Creating a Template</h3> - -<p>If you would like your test results formatted differently then the default you can set your own template. Here is an -example of a simple template. Note the required pseudo-variables:</p> - -<code> -$str = '<br /> -<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1"><br /> - <kbd>{rows}</kbd><br /> - <tr><br /> - <td><kbd>{item}</kbd></td><br /> - <td><kbd>{result}</kbd></td><br /> - </tr><br /> - <kbd>{/rows}</kbd><br /> -</table>';<br /> -<br /> -$this->unit->set_template($str); -</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Your template must be declared <strong>before</strong> running the unit test process.</p> - - - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="typography.html">Typography Class</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="uri.html">URI Class</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
