Running tests

Functional tests

• Start PhantomJS:

  phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any --ignore-ssl-errors=true ./vendor/jcalderonzumba/gastonjs/src/Client/main.js 8510 1024 768 2>&1 >> /dev/null &
  

• Run the functional tests:

  export SIMPLETEST_DB='mysql://root@localhost/dev_d8'
  export SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL='http://d8.dev'
  ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c core --testsuite functional
  ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c core --testsuite functional-javascript
  

Note: functional tests have to be invoked with a user in the same group as the web server user. You can either configure Apache (or nginx) to run as your own system user or run tests as a privileged user instead.

To develop locally, a straightforward - but also less secure - approach is to run tests as your own system user. To achieve that, change the default Apache user to run as your system user. Typically, you'd need to modify /etc/apache2/envvars on Linux or /etc/apache2/httpd.conf on Mac.

Example for Linux:

export APACHE_RUN_USER=<your-user>
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=<your-group>

Example for Mac:

User <your-user>
Group <your-group>

If the default user is e.g. www-data, the above functional tests will have to be invoked with sudo instead:

export SIMPLETEST_DB='mysql://root@localhost/dev_d8'
export SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL='http://d8.dev'
sudo -u www-data -E ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c core --testsuite functional
sudo -u www-data -E ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c core --testsuite functional-javascript
