Question

I tried to use Zend_Test_PHPUnit to write unit tests for my application, but I always just get

1) IndexControllerTest::testValidation
Failed asserting last controller used <"error"> was "test"

I have created a test controller but even there I cannot get it to work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

class TestController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

   public function indexAction()
   {
        print 'test';
   }

}

Bootstrap is:

// Define path to application directory
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
     || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));

 // Define application environment
defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
    || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'testing'));

 // Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
    get_include_path(),
)));

require_once ‘Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php’;
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();

phpunit.xml is:

<phpunit bootstrap="./bootstrap.php">
    <testsuite name="Application Test Suite">
        <directory>./application</directory>
    </testsuite>
    <testsuite name="Library Test Suite">
        <directory>./library</directory>
    </testsuite>

    <filter>
    <whitelist>
        <directory suffix=".php">../library/</directory>
        <directory suffix=".php">../application/</directory>
        </whitelist>
    </filter>
</phpunit>

Test controller is

class IndexControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{

    public function setUp()
    {
        $this->bootstrap = new Zend_Application(APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini');
        parent::setUp();
    }

    public function testValidation()
    {
         $this->dispatch('/test/');
         $this->assertController("test");
    }
}

Looks like an error in your TestController.

Is your View available (/test/index.phtml)?

Good solution would be to check the thrown Exception (wrap the unit test in an Try/Catch Block and print to error log).
