Hi Matthew,
In my project, I already used PHPUnit test for Model classes but still
not found a way to test Controller classes. So your introduction about
MVC testing class is great news for me.
My project doesn't use normal html view but it includes a flash client
and a php middleware written in Zend_Framework. Flash client gets data
in Json format through ZendFramework. So we only implement MC part,
and really no view at all.
I try to setup Unit test for Controller part. It seems that your test
framework doesn't like json format :) because after run test nothing
return. My action code look like this:
public function searchAction(){
//data validation
//get data from database
$this->_helper->json($result);
}
I try to diagnose by add some sample code code in action
public function searchAction(){
$this->view->hello = "hello world"; return;
}
and Setup a view script
and with simple testcase
public function testSearchAction(){
$this->dispatch('/search/search');
$a = $this->getResponse();
var_dump($a);
$this->assertResponseCode(200);
}
I can see data of Zend_Controller_Response_HttpTestCase object with
HTML data in it and a testcase passed.
Once more, I try with very simple code which return json data:
public function searchAction(){
$this->_helper->json("hello world"); return;
}
and with the same above testcase, nothing display after run test
May I do something wrong?
