Continuous testing in PHP with Eclipse
into a terminal.
This post will show you how to set up a project with the Eclipse MakeGood plugin, which is a continuous test runner for the Eclipse IDE. When it is enabled, the plugin runs a set of tests every time you save a file.
This is best used on projects which are:
Small — so you tests run in a reasonable timeframe.
— so you tests run in a reasonable timeframe. Complex — reasonably high risk of introducing defects.
— reasonably high risk of introducing defects. Well-tested — so your unit tests are reasonably likely to identify defects.
Set up your machine
Your machine needs Eclipse PDT, MakeGood and composer.
Eclipse PDT
If you've found this post via Google, then you probably already run Eclipse and PHP. If not, fetch the "Eclipse for PHP developers" distribution from here
You need to pick up the XDebug extension to really make use of this setup. On Debian-based distributions, this is achieved via:
sudo apt - get install php5 - xdebug
If you don't use Eclipse yet, then check whether languages or tools you've used before have plugins in the Eclipse Marketplace. There's a good chance that Eclipse will do the whole lot.
MakeGood
MakeGood is simply an Eclipse plugin, so you can fetch it from the Eclipse Marketplace.
Navigate to Help → Eclipse Marketplace and search for "makegood":
Wait for the info to be fetched:
Check all the boxes, and then click Confirm:
Accept the terms, and wait for the install:
At one point, you will be prompted to accept a developer's certificate, which you need to do before continuing:
This feature will not work unless you have a PHP binary set up. You need to configure this under Window → Preferences → PHP → PHP executables.:
This is system dependent: Windows users will find a file somewhere called php-cli.exe , while Linux users might find it at /usr/bin/php .
After this, MakeGood is installed. It is configured per-project, so we'll get to that after the next section.
Composer
Composer is a dependency manager which is widely used in the PHP world.
You can get it from https://getcomposer.org/download/
Rather than use the install process which is suggested there, you can simply download the phar, make it executable, and place it somewhere like /usr/bin :
wget https : / / getcomposer . org / composer . phar chmod + x composer . phar sudo mv composer . phar / usr / bin / composer composer -- version
By using composer to load PHPUnit, MakeGood becomes much easier to configure.
Project setup
To start, make a new PHP project by clicking File → New → PHP Project. Name it something like "Example".
We are using composer here because it provides an easy way to make sure MakeGood can see the PHPUnit code. So let's set a few things up:
First, add a composer.json file which adds a recent version of PHPUnit as a require-dev dependency. Right-click Example project, and navigate to New → File, naming it composer.json :
{ "require-dev": { "phpunit/phpunit": "4.5.*" } }
Note that with the way that MakeGood constructs its command-line, newer versions of PHPUnit do not appear to work correctly at the time of writing.
Next up, install the new dependency with the help of Composer:
$ composer install Loading composer repositories with package information Installing dependencies ( including require - dev ) - Installing sebastian / version ( 1.0 . 6 ) - Installing sebastian / global - state ( 1.0 . 0 ) - Installing sebastian / recursion - context ( 1.0 . 1 ) - Installing sebastian / exporter ( 1.2 . 1 ) - Installing sebastian / environment ( 1.3 . 2 ) - Installing sebastian / diff ( 1.3 . 0 ) - Installing sebastian / comparator ( 1.2 . 0 ) - Installing symfony / yaml ( v2 .7 . 3 ) - Installing doctrine / instantiator ( 1.0 . 5 ) - Installing phpdocumentor / reflection - docblock ( 2.0 . 4 ) - Installing phpspec / prophecy ( v1 .4 . 1 ) - Installing phpunit / php - text - template ( 1.2 . 1 ) - Installing phpunit / phpunit - mock - objects ( 2.3 . 6 ) - Installing phpunit / php - timer ( 1.0 . 7 ) - Installing phpunit / php - token - stream ( 1.4 . 3 ) - Installing phpunit / php - file - iterator ( 1.3 . 4 ) - Installing phpunit / php - code - coverage ( 2.2 . 2 ) - Installing phpunit / phpunit ( 4.5 . 1 ) sebastian / global - state suggests installing ext - uopz ( * ) phpdocumentor / reflection - docblock suggests installing dflydev / markdown ( ~ 1.0 ) phpdocumentor / reflection - docblock suggests installing erusev / parsedown ( ~ 1.0 ) phpunit / phpunit suggests installing phpunit / php - invoker ( ~ 1.1 ) Writing lock file Generating autoload files
Set up an Example.php class with a bit of code:
Set up a test/unit folder and create a ExampleTest class with a useful test case in it, like so:
assertTrue ( $e - > isPalindrone ( "" ) ) ; $this - > assertTrue ( $e - > isPalindrone ( "a" ) ) ; $this - > assertTrue ( $e - > isPalindrone ( "ABBA" ) ) ; $this - > assertFalse ( $e - > isPalindrone ( "test" ) ) ; } }
The unit tests go in their own folder, in case you decide to add more extensive (slower) tests later. MakeGood should only be configured to run fast tests!
Now add a test/bootstrap.php for test cases to load classes (NB: At scale, you would have composer autoload your classes, and use that as your PHPUnit class loader).
Optionally, also add a phpunit.xml file in your project root to configure PHPUnit with, so that you can run it on the command-line:
If all goes to plan, your project should look something like this:
- Continuous testing example |- (.. code ..) |- Example.php |- test/ | |- (.. other types of tests ..) | |- unit/ | | |- ExampleTest.php | |- bootstrap.php |- vendor | |- (.. dependencies ..) | |- autoload.php |- composer.json |- phpunit.xml
And more to the point, you should be able to use PHPUnit on the command-line to run the test case. It will look something like this:
Example$ php vendor / bin / phpunit test / unit / PHPUnit 4.7 . 7 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors . . Time : 71 ms , Memory : 4 . 50Mb OK ( 1 test , 4 assertions )
Configure MakeGood
Now that the project is coming along nicely, it's time to configure MakeGood to run the test automatically from within Eclipse.
Go to Project → Properties → MakeGood, and add the path to your unit tests, along with a link to the bootstrap.php . This bootstrap file will let MakeGood load the classes to test, along with PHPUnit itself.
Now fire up the MakeGood view. If it doesn't come up automatically, then open it via Window → Show View → Other. Clicking the "play" button should kick off all available tests, adn if your project structure is correct, then everything will work at this point:
Once you save a file, a small box will appear in the bottom-right to indicate whether the tests worked.
As you introduce changes and save them, MakeGood will flag whether the tests are passing by changing the colour of the icon.
In this case, it is green. From the small delay that is caused when running the tests, you can see why it's important to keep unit tests fast if you use this tool.
A test-driven bugfix cycle
Of course, Linus' Law suggests that any code will probably have more bugs. So, say somebody reports that the palindrome "abcdedcba" is causing incorrect results. In test-driven development, you would expose this as a test case over the isPalindrome() function:
assertTrue($e -> isPalindrone("abcdedcba")); $this -> assertFalse($e -> isPalindrone("abc")); } ...
As soon as this is submitted, things start to turn red in MakeGood. In response to the broken test, you can then tweak the code.
You would then do the smallest amount of programming needed to pass all the tests. A palindrome checker which does not contain intentional bugs is as simple as this one-liner:
< php function isPalindrone ( $str ) { return $str == strrev ( $str ) ; }
This change causes MakeGood to report that the unit tests are all passing.
Summary
A continuous test runner adds faster feedback for tedious but well-tested code. If you have to write anything in PHP which does some real computer work, then I suggest setting up MakeGood so that you can make changes to tricky code, and have a good idea of whether it's producing sane outputs.
As this post has touched on before, slow tests should not run each time you save the code. This is why we worked in a Unit test folder. Slower integration or functional tests can still be run via the command-line in this model. An example of a project which uses this setup is escpos-php, which is a heavily test-driven PHP driver for thermal line printers.
