PHP tester status / notes

Nov 6, 2023

create v1.0 branch. It will be strongly typed, refactored, and just cleaned up in general.

• move cli script to bin/phptest
• move command setup & config loading to the Runner.
• added config/phptest.json as an option for config file location
• add types and docblocks to Runner
• docblock some configs in the runner
• move code dir to src/

Rewrote the system for running and calling test servers. I wanted to add optional bootstrap loading, and it was a mess, so I cleaned up the implementation. This probably will cause some breaking changes, but all the built-in tests (including multi-server tests) passed.

Significantly updated README

• Server: add curl_post() to get body, header_text, headers array & cookies array (cookies parsing to be implemented)

• Doing major refactor of phptest ...

  • it is going well. I'm in code/Tester, code/Runner, and code/trait/Assertions. Mainly in Tester & Runner. I'm working on the run() loop. I just got test pass/fail printing how I want for individual test methods. But I'm getting an exception on line 127 of Runner. Run phptest to see the error. I just disabled the startOb & endOb that wraps $tester->run() (called in Runner) so the tester itself can output its results.
  • The rest of what I'm doing is in this vein ... having the printing closer to the actual happening. Simpler data structures. Easier to follow code.

• I need to:

  • print the class name from which tests are being run
  • make sure -test flag works
  • enable printing when only a specific test is being run (so it shows the full test's output)
  • Idunno... I think just finish the refactor

Versions

• v0.3: Uses taeluf/cli library. adds server tests with help of phptest server. major refactor. new init setup
• v0.2: uses internal cli code. no server tests
• v0.1: Idunno

Ideas

• Write default config file if not found
• Cache map of files to test & add phptest scan to re-scan (or phptest --scan to enable scanning)
• Assertions extensibility so its easy for any package to add its own assertions
