The objective of ParaTest is to support parallel testing in a variety of PHP testing tools. Currently only PHPUnit is supported.
To install with composer add the following to your composer.json
file:
"require": {
"brianium/paratest": "dev-master"
}
Then run php composer.phar install
After installation, the binary can be found at vendors/bin/paratest
. Usage is as follows:
paratest [-p|--processes="..."] [-f|--functional] [-h|--help] [--phpunit="..."]
[--bootstrap="..."] [-c|--configuration="..."] [-g|--group="..."] [--log-junit="..."]
[--path="..."] [path]
Windows users be sure to use the appropriate batch files. An example being:
vendors\bin\paratest.bat --phpunit vendors\bin\phpunit.bat ...
ParaTest assumes PSR-0 for loading tests.
When running PHPUnit tests, ParaTest will automatically pass the phpunit.xml or phpunit.xml.dist to the phpunit runner via the --configuration switch. ParaTest also allows the configuration path to be specified manually.
ParaTest will rely on the testsuites
node of phpunit's xml configuration to handle loading of suites.
The following phpunit config file is used for ParaTest's test cases.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit backupGlobals="false"
backupStaticAttributes="false"
bootstrap="../bootstrap.php"
colors="true"
convertErrorsToExceptions="true"
convertNoticesToExceptions="true"
convertWarningsToExceptions="true"
processIsolation="false"
stopOnFailure="false"
syntaxCheck="false"
>
<testsuites>
<testsuite name="ParaTest Fixtures">
<directory>./tests/</directory>
</testsuite>
</testsuites>
</phpunit>
ParaTest's test suite depends on PHPUnit being installed via composer. Make sure you run composer install
after cloning.
To run unit tests:
vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap test/bootstrap.php test/ParaTest
To run integration tests:
vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap test/bootstrap.php it/ParaTest
To run functional tests:
vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap test/bootstrap.php functional
There are a couple of shortcuts in the bin
directory as well.
bin/test
for unit tests.
bin/test it
for integration tests.
bin/test functional
for functional tests
You can run all tests at once by running phpunit from the project directory.
vendor/bin/phpunit
