I’m still new about this Unit Testing in PHP & Yii.
let’s say I have this model
/**
* The table fields.
* @param integer $postId
* @param integer $isActive
* @param integer $isCommentable
*/
class Comment extends CActiveRecord {
public function rules(){
array('postId', 'validatePostIsActiveAndCommentable'),
}
public function validatePostIsActiveAndCommentable($attribute, $params){
$postId = $this->$attribute;
if (Post::model()->active()->count('id = :id', array(':id' => $postId)){
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('translations', '{attribute} is not active'));
} else (Post::model()->commentable()->count('id = :id', array(':id' => $postId)){
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('translations', '{attribute} is not commentable'));
}
//or here we can select the isActive and isCommentable attribute by primary key and compare with the appropriate value to minimize the query.
}
}
So if I want to test the method validatePostIsActiveAndCommentable in the Unit Testing, how to differentiate if the error is from the first condition or the second condition?
Right now what I usually do in the test method is using hasErrors('attributeName').
class CommentTest extends CDbTestCase {
public function testValidatePostIsActiveAndCommentableShouldSucceedWhenPostIsActiveAndCommentable(){
//bla bla
$this->assertTrue($comment->validate(array('propertyId')));
}
public function testValidatePostIsActiveAndCommentableShouldFailWhenPostIsNotActive(){
//bla bla
$this->assertFalse($comment->validate(array('propertyId')));
$this->assertTrue(in_array(Yii::t('translations', '{attribute} is not active'), $comment->getErrors('propertyId')));
}
public function testValidatePostIsActiveAndCommentableShouldFailWhenPostIsActiveButNotCommentable(){
//bla bla
$this->assertFalse($comment->validate(array('propertyId')));
$this->assertTrue(in_array(Yii::t('translations', '{attribute} is not commentable'), $comment->getErrors('propertyId')));
}
}
I’m just curious if there is a more common way to do this.
