*Update: Drupal 8 now uses PHPUnit for its unit tests. It still uses simpletest for its system tests. Upal's purpose as a showcase and proof of concept has been fulfilled and no further work is expected.*
Drupal's test suite based on PHPUnit (http://www.phpunit.de/).
Usage
--------
- Install PHPUnit (see below) and Drush (http://drupal.org/project/drush).
- Checkout or download a core Drupal that is to be tested (only tested with 8.x).
-- Map http://upal to this Drupal in your web server config. If not possible,
configure UPAL_WEB_URL in phpunit.xml (see Notes).
-- Create an 'upal' database on your database server.
-- If your db_url is not mysql://root:@127.0.0.1/upal, configure UPAL_DB_URL in
phpunit.xml (see Notes).
- From the drupal root directory that is to be tested, run lines like:
`phpunit --configuration /path/to/upal/phpunit.xml FilterUnitTestCase core/modules/filter/filter.test`
`phpunit --debug --configuration /path/to/upal/phpunit.xml core/modules/book/book.test`
Notes
----------
- If customization is needed as per above, Copy phpunit.xml.dist to phpunit.xml and edit.
Install PHPUnit
----------------
Upal requires PHPUnit 3.5 or later; installing with PEAR is easiest.
- On Linux/OSX:
sudo apt-get install php5-curl php-pear
sudo pear upgrade --force PEAR
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no
sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit
- On Windows:
Download and save from go-pear.phar http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
php -q go-pear.phar
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
