How to Write a FunctionalTest
FunctionalTest test your applications Controller instances and anything else which requires a web request. The
core of these tests are the same as SapphireTest unit tests but add several methods for creating SS_HTTPRequest
and receiving SS_HTTPResponse objects. In this How To, we'll see how to write a test to query a page, check the
response and modify the session within a test.
mysite/tests/HomePageTest.php
<?php
class HomePageTest extends FunctionalTest {
/**
* Test generation of the view
*/
public function testViewHomePage() {
$page = $this->get('home/');
// Home page should load..
$this->assertEquals(200, $page->getStatusCode());
// We should see a login form
$login = $this->submitForm("LoginFormID", null, array(
'Email' => 'test@test.com',
'Password' => 'wrongpassword'
));
// wrong details, should now see an error message
$this->assertExactHTMLMatchBySelector("#LoginForm p.error", array(
"That email address is invalid."
));
// If we login as a user we should see a welcome message
$me = Member::get()->first();
$this->logInAs($me);
$page = $this->get('home/');
$this->assertExactHTMLMatchBySelector("#Welcome", array(
'Welcome Back'
));
}
