Unit Testing Codeigniter Classes with fooStack - clashes
- by DrPep
I'm having 'fun' testing interactions in a CodeIgniter based web app.
It seems when running the entire test suite "phpunit AllTests.php" it loads all of the test classes, their targets (Systems under Test) and creates a PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite instance which presumably iterates over the classes which extend CIUnit_TestCase and runs them.
The problem comes where you have multiple classes referencing another class (such as a library). As all the classes are loaded into the same process space, PHP reports "cannot redefine class xyz". Have I missed something here or doing something haenously wrong?
In my test class i'm doing something like:
include_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../CIUnit.php';
include_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../../libraries/ProductsService.php';
class testProductsService extends CIUnit_TestCase {
public function testGetProducts_ReturnsArrayOfProducts(){
$service = new ProductsService();
$products = $service->getProducts();
$this->assertTrue(is_array($products));
}
}
The problem manifests as I have a controller which does:
$this->load->library('ProductsService');
