REQUIREMENTS

This library requires the following:

• PHP 5.3.0+
• CodeIgniter 3.0.0+

INSTALLATION

Run Composer in your Codeigniter project under the folder \application:

composer require yidas/codeigniter-phpunit

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

codeigniter/
└── application/
    ├── tests/          Test cases
    ├── vendor/         Vendor included yidas/codeigniter-phpunit
    └── phpunit.xml     PHPUnit XML

CONFIGURATION

According to Directory Structure, create and configure phpunit.xml under application directory:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<phpunit bootstrap="vendor/yidas/codeigniter-phpunit/bootstrap.php">
  <testsuites>
    <testsuite name="TestSuite">
      <directory>tests</directory>
    </testsuite>
  </testsuites>
</phpunit>

For this phpunit.xml template, the test cases directory is application/test, make sure you would create every test cases under it.

USAGE

In the application directory of this library, run phpunit from vendor:

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit

Or using absolute path commands like:

$ /var/www/html/codeigniter3/application/vendor/bin/phpunit -c /var/www/html/codeigniter3/application/phpunit.xml
$ phpunit -c /var/www/html/codeigniter3/application/phpunit.xml

Then the result would like:

PHPUnit 5.7.27 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

TEST CASE

With this extension libaray, you could write test cases with loading Codeigniter framework.

For example, write a test case application/tests/CodeigniterTest.php for testing Codeigniter config component:

<?php

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

final class CodeigniterTest extends TestCase
{
    function __construct() 
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // Load CI application
        $this->CI = & get_instance();
    }
    
    public function testConfigItem()
    {
        $indexPage = $this->CI->config->item('index_page');
        
        $this->assertSame('index.php', $indexPage);
    }
}

Then you would get the result OK (1 test, 1 assertion) by running PHPUnit test.
