Re: [dev] dev Digest, Vol 51, Issue 1

[S7Design]

Hi all,

Moritz it is great idea. I have already thought about it. We must have improved the tests. 

I also told about it with my team in S7design.

We are doing a lot with tests, and we often have to clean up VM where the tests are run.

We try to took care about this with Selenium tests, as you mentioned on way that directly entities are deleted from DB. The problem is in case the test is not completed successfully. In this situation the cleaning up is not executed.

I think that we can solve this issue with transactions.

I also made some scripts which clean up and restore system in the state that had been before testing. It is not for public purpose, it looks like hacking and hardcode  scripts ;)

I believe that your idea is much better. I like it. I am sure that I will look into this and try to do something like this. To be honest I don't have enough experience about it now, but so the challenge is bigger :)

I believe it could be good improvement for testing.

Zoran

Hi all,

in order to isolate tests from each other, we could consider starting a 
database transaction before running a test file, and then rolling back 
the transaction after the test file finished running.

Then new objects (queues, users, groups, tickets) wouldn't need to be 
cleaned up manually at the end of a test, and the cleanup would even 
happen if a test aborts early.

However, it'd only work for tests that don't want to establish their own 
DB connections, and not for tests that rely on inter-process 
communication (those couldn't share a transaction).

Do you think this idea is worth pursuing?

(afaict all of the supported DBs implement transactions just fine, 
except mysql on myisam, and DBI already provides a simple interface 
($dbh->begin_work, $dbh->commit, $dbh->rollback)).

Cheers,
Moritz
