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.

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

This makes your life easier because you don't have to worry about local dependencies.

Note

It's always a good idea to look into the runTests.sh "Examples" section to get an idea how it works. In the "Options" section you can find all available options.

Running code checks

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

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:composer:normalize

Checks the composer.json.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:json:lint

Lints the JSON files.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:php

Runs all static checks for the PHP files.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:php:cs-fixer

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

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

Lints the PHP files for syntax errors.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:php:stan

Checks the PHP types using PHPStan.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:static

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

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -scomposer check:typoscript:lint

Lints the TypoScript files.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer check:yaml:lint

Lints the YAML files.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer fix

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

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer fix:php

Runs all fixers for the PHP code.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer fix:php:cs

Fixes the code style with PHP-CS-Fixer.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer phpstan:baseline

Updates the PHPStan baseline file to match the code.

Running unit and functional tests

Note

Executing tests on Windows via runTests.sh should be done within the [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux).

Important

Before running any commands you need to install all dependencies with

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s composer update

You can currently run these tests on the command line:

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

Runs the functional tests using a database populated from the CSV files in Tests/Functional/Controller/Fixtures/Database folder.

Note

For executing functional tests, a database connection is needed. Therefore, it is recommended to run the functional tests using runTests.sh.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s unit

Runs the unit tests.

Tip

With the option -p, you can specify which PHP version will be used to execute the tests. If you don't specify a PHP version, the default PHP version will be used.

./Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -p 8.2 -s unit

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.
