# How to run the files external unit tests
|
|
|
|
## Components
|
|
|
|
The files_external relies - as the name already says - on external file system
|
|
providers. To test easily against such a provider we use some scripts to setup
|
|
a provider (and of course also cleanup that provider). Those scripts can be
|
|
found in the `tests/env` folder of the files_external app.
|
|
|
|
### Naming Conventions
|
|
|
|
The current implementation supports a script that starts with `start-` for the
|
|
setup step which is executed before the PHPUnit run and an optional script
|
|
starting with `stop-` (and have the same ending as the start script) to cleanup
|
|
the provider. For example: `start-webdav-ownCloud.sh` and
|
|
`stop-webdav-ownCloud.sh`. As a second requirement after this prefix there has
|
|
to be the name of the backend test suite. In the above example the test suite
|
|
`tests/backends/webdav.php` is used. The last part is a name that can be chosen
|
|
freely.
|
|
|
|
## Hands-on way of unit test execution
|
|
|
|
Run all files_external unit tests by invoking the following in the ownCloud
|
|
core root folder:
|
|
|
|
./autotest-external.sh
|
|
|
|
This script supports to get passed a database as first argument:
|
|
|
|
./autotest-external.sh sqlite
|
|
|
|
You can also pass the name of the external file system provider as a second
|
|
argument that should be executed. This is the name of the script without the
|
|
prefix `start-` (or `stop-`) and without the extension `.sh` from the above
|
|
mentioned components in `test/env`. So if you want to start the WebDAV backend
|
|
tests against an ownCloud instance you can run following:
|
|
|
|
./autotest-external.sh sqlite webdav-ownCloud
|
|
|
|
This runs the script `start-webdav-ownCloud.sh` from the `tests/env` folder,
|
|
then runs the unit test suite from `backends/webdav.php` (because the middle part of
|
|
the name of the script is `webdav`) and finally tries to call
|
|
`stop-webdav-ownCloud.sh` for cleanup purposes.
|
|
|
|
## The more manual way of unit test execution
|
|
|
|
If you want to debug your external storage provider, you maybe don't want to
|
|
fire it up, execute the unit tests and clean everything up for each debugging
|
|
step. In this case you can simply start the external storage provider instance
|
|
and run the unit test multiple times against the instance for debugging purposes.
|
|
To do this you just need to follow these steps (from within
|
|
`apps/files_external/tests`):
|
|
|
|
1. run the start step (`env/start-BACKEND-NAME.sh`) or start the environment by
|
|
hand (i.e. setting up an instance manually in a virtual box)
|
|
2. run the unit tests with following command (you can repeat that step multiple times):
|
|
`phpunit --configuration ../../../tests/phpunit-autotest-external.xml backends/BACKEND.php`
|
|
3. call the cleanup script (`env/stop-BACKEND-NAME.sh`) or cleanup by hand
