README

This extension provides useful stuff for extension development: helper functions for unit testing, templating and automatic configuration checks.

Most of the documentation is in ReST format in the Documentation/ folder and is rendered as part of the TYPO3 documentation.

Running the tests locally

You will need to have a Git clone of the extension for this with the Composer dependencies installed.

Running the unit tests

On the command line

To run all unit tests on the command line:

composer ci:tests:unit

To run all unit tests in a directory or file (using the directory Tests/Unit/Model/ as an example):

.Build/vendor/bin/phpunit -c .Build/vendor/typo3/testing-framework/Resources/Core/Build/UnitTests.xml Tests/Unit/Model/

In PhpStorm

First, you need to configure the path to PHPUnit in the settings:

Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Test Frameworks

In this section, configure PhpStorm to use the Composer autoload and the script path .Build/vendor/autoload.php within your project.

In the Run/Debug configurations for PHPUnit, use an alternative configuration file:

.Build/vendor/typo3/testing-framework/Resources/Core/Build/UnitTests.xml

Running the functional tests

You will need a local MySQL user that has the permissions to create new databases.

In the examples, the following credentials are used:

• user name: typo3
• password: typo3pass
• DB name prefix: typo3_test (optional)
• DB host: localhost (omitted as this is the default)

You will need to provide those credentials as environment variables when running the functional tests:

• typo3DatabaseUsername
• typo3DatabasePassword
• typo3DatabaseName

On the command line

To run all functional tests on the command line:

typo3DatabaseUsername=typo3 typo3DatabasePassword=typo3pass typo3DatabaseName=typo3_test composer ci:tests:functional

To run all functional tests in a directory or file (using the directory Tests/Functional/Authentication/ as an example):

typo3DatabaseUsername=typo3 typo3DatabasePassword=typo3pass typo3DatabaseName=typo3_test .Build/vendor/bin/phpunit -c .Build/vendor/typo3/testing-framework/Resources/Core/Build/FunctionalTests.xml Tests/Functional/Authentication/

In PhpStorm

First, you need to configure the path to PHPUnit in the settings:

Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Test Frameworks

In this section, configure PhpStorm to use the Composer autoload and the script path .Build/vendor/autoload.php within your project.

In the Run/Debug configurations for PHPUnit, use an alternative configuration file:

.Build/vendor/typo3/testing-framework/Resources/Core/Build/FunctionalTests.xml

Also set the following environment variables in your runner configuration:

• typo3DatabaseUsername
• typo3DatabasePassword
• typo3DatabaseName
