Overview

The main idea of the plugin is to integrate phpunit and symfony more closer.
Make the process of test writing more standard, flexible and easy for symfony developers.
Another idea is to allow developers use features that only they want and not to inflict any extra requirments.

There are some main features.

• Flexible way to store and run tests.
• Manage fixtures, separate them to different folders.
• Manage symfony contexts.
• Configure phpunit in a symfony configuration way.
• Create testing infrastructure in one touch.
• Provide custom TestCases, for example, SeleniumTestCase, AmfTestCase.

Example project

We made a sendbox project with some unit and functional tests.
Also there is a lot of snapshots in project doc directory.
You can checkout the project:

  svn checkout http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfPhpunitPlugin/branches/example-project

Requirements

• Symfony 1.2.x – 1.4.x
• PHPUnit 3.4.x (also works with 3.3.x but there might be some bugs)
• SabreAMF for amf testing (optional).
• Selenium for functionals testing (optional).
• Mysql 5.x or Oracle 10g RDBMS

               $env = sfConfig::get('sf_environment');
               // Enviornment is not loaded at this point when run from CLI
               if ( $env === 'test' || php_sapi_name() === 'cli' ) {
                   $this->enablePlugins('sfPhpunitPlugin');
