MyTAP 0.08

MyTAP is a unit testing framework for MySQL 5.x written using fuctions and procedures. It includes a collection of TAP-emitting assertion functions, as well as the ability to integrate with other TAP-emitting test frameworks.

Installation

To install MyTAP into a MySQL database, just run mytap.sql:

mysql -u root < mytap.sql

This will install all of the assertion functions, as well as a cache table, into a database named "tap".

MyTAP Test Scripts

Here's an example of how to write a MyTAP test script:

-- Start a transaction.
BEGIN;

-- Plan the tests.
SELECT tap.plan(1);

-- Run the tests.
SELECT tap.pass( 'My test passed, w00t!' );

-- Finish the tests and clean up.
CALL tap.finish();
ROLLBACK;

Note how the TAP test functions are reference from another database so as to keep them separate from your application database.

Now you're ready to run your test script!

% mysql -u root --disable-pager --batch --raw --skip-column-names --unbuffered --database test --execute 'source test.sql'
1..1
ok 1 - My test passed, w00t!

Yeah, that's rather a lot of options to have to remember to get valid tap. I suggest that you install TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::MyTAP instead and just use its my_prove utility:

% my_prove -u root --database test test.sql

Using MyTAP

The purpose of MyTAP is to provide a wide range of testing utilities that output TAP. TAP, or the "Test Anything Protocol", is an emerging standard for representing the output from unit tests. It owes its success to its format as a simple text-based interface that allows for practical machine parsing and high legibility for humans. TAP started life as part of the test harness for Perl but now has implementations in C/C++, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Perl, PostgreSQL, and now MySQL.

More information on the use of MyTAP can be found in the documentation.

To Do

  • Port lot of other assertion functions from pgTAP.
