Question

First time using PHPUnit and Selenium. Installed Selenium IDE plugin for Firefox, created some simple tests using the recorder. The IDE formats the tests as HTML tables by default so I installed the PHP formatter addon to the Selenium addon and was able to export the tests as PHPUnit format. Next installed PHPUnit on Windows 7. Also installed the Selenium plugin for PHPUnit.

Then ran my tests using this command:

phpunit Mytests.php

output is:

Time: 0 seconds, Memory: 2.7Mb
OK (0 tests, 0 assertions)

So great no errors, but it doesn’t look like the tests have run either. What’s wrong? Is it the contents of my test file:

<?php

require_once 'PEAR/PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';

class Mytests extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
  protected function setUp()
  {
    $this->setBrowser("*chrome");
    $this->setBrowserUrl("http://www.foobar.com/");
  }

  public function related_videos()
  {
    // // make sure there are 4 related items
    $this->open("/");
    $this->click("xpath=//div[contains(@id, 'featured')]/article/div/a[contains(@class,'thumb')]");
    $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
    try {
        $this->assertEquals("4", $this->getXpathCount("//descendant-or-self::*[@id = 'related']/descendant::article"));
    } catch (PHPUnit_Framework_AssertionFailedError $e) {
        array_push($this->verificationErrors, $e->toString());
    }
  }

}
?>

Phpunit is looking for method names starting with “test“ on the testcase instances, if you rename the related_videos method to test_related_videos it should find and run it.
