Running Tests for the PHP-Client bindings

This file explains how to configured your environment for running the PHP-Client automated testing.

The OpenStack bindings offer a few stand-alone tests for testing basic connectivity to OpenStack services, but most tests are of the automated variety.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your settings.ini file is up-to-date! Options have changed!

Stand-alone Tests

Stand-alone tests are designed to verify that certain preconditions of the libary are met.

AuthTest.php

The AuthTest test is a simple commandline program that allows you to verify that your PHP client can successfully connect to OpenStack. To run this test, do the following:

1. Begin from the root directory of this project, where you should see the directories tests/ and src/, among others.
2. Execute the following command on the commandline:

$ php tests/AuthTest.php

This will instruct you to use a more complete version of the command, including:

• USERNAME: The username given to you.
• PASSWORD: The password associated with the username.
• URL: The Endpoint URL.
• TENANT ID: Your users's tenant ID.

All four pieces of information can be found by logging into the console. From there, you can execute a command like this:

$ php tests/AuthTest.php myusername apassword https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/ 1234567

If successfull, it should return details about your username, token, and the services in your service catalog.

Unit Tests

Unit and behavioral tests are built using PHPUnit. Before you can test this package, you will need to install that tool.

Next, you need to create your own settings.ini file to contain your HP Cloud credentials, along with your preferred testing parameters.

Creating settings.ini

The easiest way to do this is to copy the example settings file, and then make the necessary changes:

$ cd tests/
$ cp example.settings.ini settings.ini
$ edit settings.ini

Running Tests

The test suite uses PHPUnit and can generate a code coverage report if xdebug is installed. To run the test suite make sure PHPUnit is installed via composer by using composer install or composer update. Once PHPUnit is installed execute the following command from the root of the project.

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit

This should generate output looking something like this:

PHPUnit 4.0.13 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Configuration read from /path/to/openstack-sdk-php/phpunit.xml.dist

...............................................................  63 / 146 ( 43%)
............................................................... 126 / 146 ( 86%)
....................

Time: 4.94 minutes, Memory: 17.50Mb

OK (146 tests, 413 assertions)

Generating code coverage report in Clover XML format ... done

Generating code coverage report in HTML format ... done

If the tests fail, detailed information about the failure will be displayed.

PHPUnit has a wide variety of commandline options. Other sorts of reports and analyses can be done using those.

Writing Tests

Tests should be written according to the PHPUnit documentation. Tests should follow the same coding standards as all other parts of the library.
