Doctrine Entity Testing 2.0
About a month ago, I shared a method for testing doctrine entities. This came about after my push to get 100% code coverage on The Storehouse. I’ve already found a new and better way of doing this that gives you a bit more flexibility.
This new method does the exact same thing: test getters and setters for doctrine entites. The difference here is that I used a trait rather than a class. This is a bit nicer for a few reasons:
-
You aren’t bound to extending the EntityTestCase class. In my case this wasn’t an issue but it could be if you need to use both the helper function and use some more specialized test suite. Since this particular test case was just testing getters and setters, they all extended PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase. I’m already thinking of a few other repetitive tests that can be migrated to helper traits to make the code less repetitive.
-
You can make use of PHPUnit’s @dataProvider. This doesn’t sound like a huge deal but it is really nice. This lets you run your tests, and get more specific errors on failure as well as continuing to test other properties if one fails. This gives your tests a much more accurate picture as to what is failing, since everything is checked even with a previous failure. This is really what the data providers in PHPUnit are for, since we essentially just want to run the same test function over multiple iterations.
Traits are a pretty cool feature of PHP that I don’t see that often. In this case, creating reusable functions to aid in testing were a perfect fit of this feature of PHP. The updated trait and an example test case are below.
