Re: [fw-general] How to simulate a file upload to test form

[Ralf Eggert]

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your thoughts. I solved this issue now by using my own file
transfer adapter for unit testing. It looks like this:

  class My_File_Transfer_Adapter_Test extends
        Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http
  {
    public function __construct()
    {
      $this->_files = $this->_prepareFiles($_FILES);
    }

    public function receive($files = null)
    {
      return true;
    }

    public function isReceived($files = null)
    {
      return true;
    }
  }

In the testcase I manipulate the $_FILES array and set the transfer
adapter for the field:

  $form->getElement('employer_logo')->setTransferAdapter(
         new My_File_Transfer_Adapter_Test());

Works ok for me though I know it is not the best solution. Now I hope I
can use this as well for my controller tests... :-)

Thanks and best regards,

Ralf
