Automated tests
===============
[PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) is used to run automated tests on Kanboard.
You can run tests across different databases (Sqlite, Mysql and Postgresql) to be sure that the result is the same everywhere.
Requirements
------------
- Linux/Unix machine
- PHP cli
- PHPUnit installed
- Mysql and Postgresql (optional)
- Selenium (optional)
- Firefox (optional)
Unit Tests
----------
### Test with Sqlite
Sqlite tests use a in-memory database, nothing is written on the file system.
The PHPUnit config file is `tests/units.sqlite.xml`.
From your Kanboard directory, run the command `phpunit -c tests/units.sqlite.xml`.
Example:
```bash
phpunit -c tests/units.sqlite.xml

Time: 1.22 minutes, Memory: 151.25Mb
OK (649 tests, 43595 assertions)
```
### Test with Mysql
You must have Mysql or MariaDb installed on localhost.
By default, those credentials are used:
- Hostname: **localhost**
- Username: **root**
- Password: none
- Database: **kanboard_unit_test**
For each execution the database is dropped and created again.
The PHPUnit config file is `tests/units.mysql.xml`.
From your Kanboard directory, run the command `phpunit -c tests/units.mysql.xml`.
### Test with Postgresql
You must have Postgresql installed on localhost.
By default, those credentials are used:
- Hostname: **localhost**
- Username: **postgres**
- Password: none
- Database: **kanboard_unit_test**
Be sure to allow the user `postgres` to create and drop databases.
The database is recreated for each execution.
The PHPUnit config file is `tests/units.postgres.xml`.
From your Kanboard directory, run the command `phpunit -c tests/units.postgres.xml`.
Integration Tests
-----------------
Acceptance tests (also known as end-to-end tests and sometimes functional tests) allow us to test the actual functionality of the browser using Selenium and PHPUnit.
The PHPUnit config file is `tests/acceptance.xml`.
From your Kanboard directory, run the command `phpunit -c tests/units.sqlite.xml`.
Actually only the API calls are tested.
Real HTTP calls are made with those tests.
So a local instance of Kanboard is necessary and must listen on `http://localhost:8000/`.
All data will be removed/altered by the test suite.
Moreover the script will reset and set a new API key.
1. Start a local instance of Kanboard `php -S 127.0.0.1:8000`
2. Run the test suite from another terminal
The same method as above is used to run tests across different databases:
- Sqlite: `phpunit -c tests/integration.sqlite.xml`
- Mysql: `phpunit -c tests/integration.mysql.xml`
- Postgresql: `phpunit -c tests/integration.postgres.xml`
Example:
```bash
phpunit -c tests/integration.sqlite.xml

OK (135 tests, 526 assertions)
```
Acceptance Tests
-----------------
Acceptance tests (also sometimes known as end-to-end tests, and functional tests) test the actual functionality of the UI in a browser using Selenium.
In order to run these tests you must have [Selenium Standalone Server](http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/) installed, and a compatible version of Firefox.
The PHPUnit config file is `tests/acceptance.xml`.
With Selenium and the Kanboard app running, from your Kanboard directory, run the command `make test-browser`. This will initiate the testing suite and you will see Firefox open automatically and perform the actions specified in the acceptance tests.
Example:
```bash
$ make test-browser
PHPUnit 4.8.26 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
..
Time: 5.59 seconds, Memory: 5.25MB
OK (2 tests, 5 assertions)
```
Continuous Integration with Travis-CI
-------------------------------------
After each commit pushed on the main repository, unit tests are executed across 5 different versions of PHP:
- PHP 7.0
- PHP 5.6
- PHP 5.5
- PHP 5.4
- PHP 5.3
Each version of PHP is tested against the 3 supported database: Sqlite, Mysql and Postgresql.
The Travis config file `.travis.yml` is located on the root directory of Kanboard.
