Running checks & tests

Most code checks and tests can be run via Composer commands.

Composer scripts

For most development-related tasks, this extension provides Composer scripts. If you are working locally (Composer needs to be installed on your local machine), you can run them using composer <scriptname>.

You can run composer or ./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer to display a list of all available Composer commands and scripts. For all custom Composer scripts there are descriptions in the script-description section of the composer.json.

If you have problems with missing dependencies on your local machine, it is recommended to execute tests with the usage of the runTests.sh script.

Example: ./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer ci:php:lint

It is not necessary to executing the tests only with the composer scripts. You can also use the runTests.sh. This makes your life easier because you don't have to worry about local dependencies.

Running code checks

You can currently run these code checks on the command line:

composer ci:composer:normalize
Copied!

Checks the composer.json.

composer ci:json:lint
Copied!

Lints the JSON files.

composer ci:php
Copied!

Runs all static checks for the PHP files.

composer ci:php:cs-fixer
Copied!

Checks the code style with the PHP Coding Standards Fixer (PHP-CS-Fixer).

composer ci:php:lint
Copied!

Lints the PHP files for syntax errors.

composer ci:php:stan
Copied!

Checks the PHP types using PHPStan.

composer ci:static
Copied!

Runs all static code checks (syntax, style, types).

composer ci:typoscript:lint
Copied!

Lints the TypoScript files.

composer ci:yaml:lint
Copied!

Lints the YAML files.

composer fix
Copied!

Runs all fixers (except for the ones that need JavaScript).

composer fix:php
Copied!

Runs all fixers for the PHP code.

composer fix:php:cs
Copied!

Fixes the code style with PHP-CS-Fixer.

composer phpstan:baseline
Copied!

Updates the PHPStan baseline file to match the code.

Running unit and functional tests

You can currently run these tests and coverages on the command line:

composer ci:coverage
Copied!

Runs the ci:coverage script as defined in composer.json.

composer ci:coverage:functional
Copied!

Generates the code coverage report for functional tests.

composer ci:coverage:merge
Copied!

Merges the code coverage reports for unit and functional tests.

composer ci:coverage:unit
Copied!

Generates the code coverage report for unit tests.

composer ci:tests:functional
Copied!

Runs the functional tests.

On executing functional tests a database connection is needed. Therefore you should execute functional tests directly with the command in the runTests.sh. Otherwise you have to take care of the database connection by yourself.

Example: ./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s functional

composer ci:tests:unit
Copied!

Runs the unit tests.

Running unit and functional tests in PHPStorm

General setup

  • Open File > Settings > PHP > Test Frameworks.
  • (*) Use Composer autoloader.
  • Path to script: select .Build/vendor/autoload.php in your project folder.

In the Run configurations, edit the PHPUnit configuration and use these settings so this configuration can serve as a template:

  • Directory: use the Tests/Unit directory in your project.
  • (*) Use alternative configuration file.
  • Use .Build/vendor/typo3/testing-framework/Resources/Core/Build/UnitTests.xml in your project folder.
  • Add the following environment variables:

    • typo3DatabaseUsername
    • typo3DatabasePassword
    • typo3DatabaseHost
    • typo3DatabaseName

Unit tests configuration

In the Run configurations, copy the PHPUnit configuration and use these settings:

  • Directory: use the Tests/Unit directory in your project

Functional tests configuration

In the Run configurations, copy the PHPUnit configuration and use these settings:

  • Directory: use the Tests/Functional directory in your project.
  • (*) Use alternative configuration file.
  • Use .Build/vendor/typo3/testing-framework/Resources/Core/Build/FunctionalTests.xml.
