Unit tests

Setup your environment for tests

The framework used is PHPUnit; it can be installed with Composer, which is a dependency management tool.

Regarding Composer, you can either use:

Sample usage

# system-wide version
$ composer install
$ composer update

# local version
$ php composer.phar self-update
$ php composer.phar install
$ php composer.phar update

Install Shaarli dev dependencies

$ cd /path/to/shaarli
$ composer update

Install and enable Xdebug to generate PHPUnit coverage reports

For Debian-based distros:

$ aptitude install php5-xdebug

For ArchLinux:

$ pacman -S xdebug

Then add the following line to /etc/php/php.ini:

zend_extension=xdebug.so

Run unit tests

Test results and coverage

By default, PHPUnit will run all suitable tests found under the tests directory.

Each test has 3 possible outcomes:

If Xdebug has been installed and activated, two coverage reports will be generated:
