About unit testing a function in the zend framework and unit testing in general
- by sanders
Hello people,
I am diving into the world of unit testing. And i am sort of lost. I learned today that unit testing is testing if a function works.
I wanted to test the following function:
public function getEventById($id)
{
return $this->getResource('Event')->getEventById($id);
}
So i wanted to test this function as follows:
public function test_Event_Get_Event_By_Id_Returns_Event_Item()
{
$p = $this->_model->getEventById(42);
$this->assertEquals(42, EventManager_Resource_Event_Item_Interface);
$this->assertType('EventManager_Resource_Event_Item_Interface', $p);
}
But then I got the error:
1) EventTest::test_Event_Get_Event_By_Id_Returns_Event_Item
Zend_Db_Table_Exception: No adapter found for EventManager_Resource_Event
/home/user/Public/ZendFramework-1.10.1/library/SF/Model/Abstract.php:101
/var/www/nrka2/application/modules/eventManager/models/Event.php:25
But then someone told me that i am currently unit testing and not doing an integration test. So i figured that i have to test the function getEventById on a different way. But I don't understand how.
What this function does it just cals a resource and returns the event by id.
