Question

How to run PHPUnit test suite with bootstrap file with phing?

My app structure:

application/
library/
tests/
  application/
  library/
  bootstrap.php
  phpunit.xml
build.xml

phpunit.xml:

<phpunit bootstrap="./bootstrap.php" colors="true">
    <testsuite name="Application Test Suite">
        <directory>./</directory>
    </testsuite>
    <filter>
        <whitelist>
            <directory
              suffix=".php">../library/</directory>
            <directory
              suffix=".php">../application/</directory>
            <exclude>
                <directory
                  suffix=".phtml">../application/</directory>
            </exclude>
        </whitelist>
    </filter>
</phpunit>

then:

cd /path/to/app/tests/
phpunit
#all test passed

But how do I run the tests from /path/to/app/ dir? The problem is, that the bootstrap.php depends on relative paths to library and application.

If I run phpunit --configuration tests/phpunit.xml /tests I got a bunch of file not found errors.

How do I write build.xml file for phing to run the tests the same way phpunit.xml does?

I Think the best way is to create an small PHP Script to initalize your Unit tests, iam doing the following:

In my phpunit.xml / bootstrap=”./initalize.php”

initalize.php

define('BASE_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../'));
define('APPLICATION_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/application');

// Include path
set_include_path(
    '.'
    . PATH_SEPARATOR . BASE_PATH . '/library'
    . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path()
);

// Define application environment
define('APPLICATION_ENV', 'testing');
require_once 'BaseTest.php';

BaseTest.php

abstract class BaseTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{

/**
 * Application
 *
 * @var Zend_Application
 */
public $application;

/**
 * SetUp for Unit tests
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function setUp()
{
    $session = new Zend_Session_Namespace();
    $this->application = new Zend_Application(
                    APPLICATION_ENV,
                    APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
    );

    $this->bootstrap = array($this, 'appBootstrap');

    Zend_Session::$_unitTestEnabled;

    parent::setUp();
}

/**
 * Bootstrap
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function appBootstrap()
{
    $this->application->bootstrap();
}
}

All my Unit tests are extending BaseTest Class, it works like a charm.
