Webtest

Web tests for the XP Framework

Example

The following web test case consists of opening GitHub's homepage and asserting the title to equal the company's name:

use unittest\web\WebTestCase;
use peer\http\HttpConstants;
use peer\http\HttpConnection;

#[@webtest(url= 'https://github.com/')]
class GitHubTestCase extends WebTestCase {

  #[@test]
  public function home() {
    $this->beginAt('/');
    $this->assertStatus(HttpConstants::STATUS_OK);
    $this->assertTitleEquals('GitHub · Build software better, together.');
  }
}

Running it works as with normal test cases:

$ unittest GitHubTestCase
[.]

✓: 1/1 run (0 skipped), 1 succeeded, 0 failed
Memory used: 1861.12 kB (2474.66 kB peak)
Time taken: 1.225 seconds

To overwrite the default URL specified in the annotation, supply it as command line argument, e.g. unittest GitHubTestCase -a https://github.staging.lan/.

Assertion methods

On top of the assertion methods provided by the unittest library, the following response-related assertions are available:

public void assertStatus(int $status)
public void assertUrlEquals(peer.URL $url)
public void assertContentType(string $ctype)
public void assertHeader(string $header, string $value)
public void assertElementPresent(string $id)
public void assertTextPresent(string $text)
public void assertImagePresent(string $src)
public void assertLinkPresent(string $url)
public void assertLinkPresentWithText(string $text)
public void assertFormPresent(string $name= null)
public void assertTitleEquals($title)

Navigation

To follow links inside a page, a web test can utilize the click methods:

protected void clickLink(string $id);
protected void clickLinkWithText(string $text);

Forms

To work with forms, the getForm() method can be used:

use unittest\web\WebTestCase;
use peer\http\HttpConstants;
use peer\http\HttpConnection;

#[@webtest(url= 'https://github.com/')]
class GitHubTestCase extends WebTestCase {

  #[@test]
  public function search_for() {
    $this->beginAt('/');
    $form= $this->getForm();
    $form->getField('q')->setValue('XP Framework');
    $form->submit();
    $this->assertStatus(HttpConstants::STATUS_OK);
    $this->assertTitleEquals('Search · XP Framework · GitHub');
  }
}
