How to configure the test environment in PyroCMS? (Vagrant/Homestead)

@fryiee will know more about this as he is the testing guru. But I do know the testing suite addons won't load without setting APP_ENV=testing in your .env file.

According to phpunit.xml fragment:

    <php>
        <server name="HTTP_HOST" value="http://localhost"/>
        <env name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
        <env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="mysql_testing"/>
        <env name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <env name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <env name="QUEUE_DRIVER" value="sync"/>
    </php>

APP_ENV should be set to testing while running phpunit.

@fryiee please help. 😄

Hi @vargvinter , this is due to the application not being installed on that database. You will either need to run php artisan install and specify the database to install to, or set it back to your main application database. You do not need to have a separate testing database - all tests are run transactionally, meaning anything persisting to the database will (or should) be wiped when the test case concludes. Any tests that hit the DB and dont transactionally use methods, please make an issue and tag myself and @ryanthompson .

@fryiee - thank for your fast and helpful reply.

I have done following things:

1). Set APP_ENV in phpunit.xml to local,

2). My first test looks like this

<?php namespace Lizard\PortfolioModule\Test\Feature;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;

class PortfolioModuleTest extends \TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    public function testFeature()
    {
        $this->assertTrue(true);
    }
}

After running

./bin/phpunit --filter PortfolioModuleTest

test was green but it also wiped out my local db after completion. Did I set above things correctly?

@vargvinter The trait RefreshDatabase will refresh migrations after test. The trait you are looking for is Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions.

e.g. use DatabaseTransactions . That will transactionally call any db queries but not wipe your DB afterwards.

@fryiee - yeah, now it is working 😄

Last question, I promise 😄

I have set APP_ENV=local in phpunit.xml. I think it should be APP_ENV=testing (because I am testing) but after running test I got:

ReflectionException: Class Anomaly\TestModule\TestModule does not exists

Why?

@vargvinter so with APP_ENV=testing you get the reflectionexception? What's your whole phpunit.xml look like?

@fryiee - check this out:

        <env name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>

</phpunit>

@fryiee any chance?

I also tried XAMPP. Unfortunately this same problem:

ReflectionException: Class Anomaly\TestModule\TestModule does not exists

🙍

Might need to open an issue and link to this thread. Sounds like we have ourselves a bug.
