This document contains information about ARC2 internals which are relevant for maintaining and extending ARC2.
To run test environment execute:
vendor/bin/phpunit
Tests are split into different groups currently:
- unit
- db_adapter_depended
You can run the unit
group directly, but you need to set some environment variables for db_adapter_depended
.
Currently, we use the following standard database credentials to connect with the database:
$dbConfig = array(
'db_name' => 'arc2_test',
'db_user' => 'root',
'db_pwd' => 'Pass123',
'db_host' => '127.0.0.1',
);
If you have different credentials, copy the tests/config.php.dist
to tests/config.php
and set your credentials.
Please make sure your editor uses our .editorconfig
file.
For ARC2 developers we recommend using our docker setup (see folder docker
). It provides a pre-configured set of software (for PHP, DBS etc.) and allows quick switches between different software versions.
No matter if one needs a MariaDB 10.3 with PHP 7.2 or a PHP 5.6 with MySQL 5.7.0. If there is a docker container, it runs.
In your terminal go to docker
folder and run make
. It will build and start the docker environment as well as log you in.
We use a very wide range of software-combinations to test ARC2. Currently, all combinations of supported versions of PHP and database systems (currently MySQL and MariaDB only) are checked.
Using a Docker setup for local development allows to switch the backend very easily.
So, if a test with a certain DBS/PHP version combination fails, its very likely that you can reproduce it locally.
Dont forget to run composer update
after a switch to make sure appropriate software is used.
