  371. <p>Unit testing is an approach to software development in which tests are
  372. written for each function in your application. If you are not familiar
  373. with the concept you might do a little googling on the subject.</p>
  374. <p>CodeIgniter’s Unit Test class is quite simple, consisting of an
  375. evaluation function and two result functions. It’s not intended to be a
  376. full-blown test suite but rather a simple mechanism to evaluate your
  377. code to determine if it is producing the correct data type and result.</p>

  400. <p>Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Unit Test class is
  401. initialized in your controller using the $this-&gt;load-&gt;library function:</p>
  402. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;unit_test&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
  403. </pre></div>
  404. </div>
  405. <p>Once loaded, the Unit Test object will be available using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this-&gt;unit</span></code></p>

  408. <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Running Tests</a><a class="headerlink" href="#running-tests" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
  409. <p>Running a test involves supplying a test and an expected result in the
  410. following way:</p>
  411. <blockquote>
  412. <div>$this-&gt;unit-&gt;run(‘test’, ‘expected result’, ‘test name’, ‘notes’);</div></blockquote>
  413. <p>Where test is the result of the code you wish to test, expected result
  414. is the data type you expect, test name is an optional name you can give
  415. your test, and notes are optional notes. Example:</p>
  416. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$test</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">1</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">;</span>
  417. <span class="nv">$expected_result</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">;</span>
  418. <span class="nv">$test_name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Adds one plus one&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
  419. <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$test</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$expected_result</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$test_name</span><span class="p">);</span>
  420. </pre></div>
  421. </div>
  422. <p>The expected result you supply can either be a literal match, or a data
  423. type match. Here’s an example of a literal:</p>
  424. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;Foo&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Foo&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
  425. </pre></div>
  426. </div>
  427. <p>Here is an example of a data type match:</p>
  428. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;Foo&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;is_string&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
  429. </pre></div>
  430. </div>
  431. <p>Notice the use of “is_string” in the second parameter? This tells the
  432. function to evaluate whether your test is producing a string as the
  433. result. Here is a list of allowed comparison types:</p>
  434. <ul class="simple">
  435. <li>is_object</li>
  436. <li>is_string</li>
  437. <li>is_bool</li>
  438. <li>is_true</li>
  439. <li>is_false</li>
  440. <li>is_int</li>
  441. <li>is_numeric</li>
  442. <li>is_float</li>
  443. <li>is_double</li>
  444. <li>is_array</li>
  445. <li>is_null</li>
  446. <li>is_resource</li>
  447. </ul>
  448. </div>
  449. <div class="section" id="generating-reports">
  450. <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Generating Reports</a><a class="headerlink" href="#generating-reports" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
  451. <p>You can either display results after each test, or your can run several
  452. tests and generate a report at the end. To show a report directly simply
  453. echo or return the run function:</p>
  454. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$test</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$expected_result</span><span class="p">);</span>
  455. </pre></div>
  456. </div>
  457. <p>To run a full report of all tests, use this:</p>
  458. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">report</span><span class="p">();</span>
  459. </pre></div>
  460. </div>
  461. <p>The report will be formatted in an HTML table for viewing. If you prefer
  462. the raw data you can retrieve an array using:</p>
  463. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">result</span><span class="p">();</span>
  464. </pre></div>
  465. </div>
  466. </div>
  467. <div class="section" id="strict-mode">
  468. <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Strict Mode</a><a class="headerlink" href="#strict-mode" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
  469. <p>By default the unit test class evaluates literal matches loosely.
  470. Consider this example:</p>
  471. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">);</span>
  472. </pre></div>
  473. </div>
  474. <p>The test is evaluating an integer, but the expected result is a boolean.
  475. PHP, however, due to it’s loose data-typing will evaluate the above code
  476. as TRUE using a normal equality test:</p>
  477. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="s1">&#39;This evaluates as true&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
  478. </pre></div>
  479. </div>
  480. <p>If you prefer, you can put the unit test class in to strict mode, which
  481. will compare the data type as well as the value:</p>
  482. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span> <span class="o">===</span> <span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="s1">&#39;This evaluates as FALSE&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
  483. </pre></div>
  484. </div>
  485. <p>To enable strict mode use this:</p>
  486. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">unit</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">use_strict</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">TRUE</span><span class="p">);</span>
  487. </pre></div>

  492. <p>If you would like to leave some testing in place in your scripts, but
  493. not have it run unless you need it, you can disable unit testing using:</p>

  511. <p>You can customize which of these items get displayed by using
  512. $this-&gt;unit-&gt;set_test_items(). For example, if you only wanted the test name
