Tester is a Drupal module that provides drush commands for spidering your site. The purpose is to automatically load URLs in order to track PHP version errors.
Suppose we have a Drupal 9.3 site running on PHP 7.4. We would like to do the following:
- Confirm that it will run without error on PHP 8.2.
While code analysis tools like Drupal check can help review code for errors, we would also like to ensure that pages load as expected without PHP errors, warnings, or notices.
- Download and install the module with composer or
git clone git@github.com:agentickard/tester.git drush en tester- Run a test
drush tester-crawl http://example.com- Note that you must supply the URL to the site root. No trailing slash is required.
- If you are running a default install, the
--adminflag will log the tester in as user 1 usingadmin/admin. - You may instead pass a
--userand--passwordcombo to login. - For more, run
drush help tc
The command is aliased to tc, so this works as well:
drush tc http://example.com
The module comes with four sets of base tests:
- Crawl the home page, a 403 page, and a 404 page.
- Crawl all node pages.
- Crawl all internal menu links that do not require arguments or tokens.
- Crawl all user pages.
This module was originally written for Drupal 7 during the PHP 7 conversion cycle. The original code is in the /drupal7 folder.
