Skills Upgrade #7

Welcome back to “Skills Upgrade” a Talking Drupal mini-series
following the journey of a D7 developer learning D10. This is
episode 7.
Topics



Review Chad's goals for the previous week


Test Example

Set up phpunit.xml

Start with FrontPageLinkTest.php





Review Chad's questions


In the testing_example module, the file
"src/Controller/TestingExampleController.php" has a
function for simpletestDescription(). Is this an outdated
artifact that should have been removed at some point? The
module itself doesn't appear to use Simpletest elsewhere
and appears to only rely on PHPUnit.

What do you recommend for the minimal code structure to
include for any given test type? Is the Testing Example
module an ideal model or are there other resources I should
review? The testing reference from Selwyn was helpful.

In the "FrontPageLinkDependenciesTest.php" setUp()
function, the createContentType() function is called
without specifying the type. Is that set somewhere else? I
may have overlooked it. Nevermind—it's set using
randomMachineName() in the createContentType()
function.
Is there anything extra or standard to write in tests for
drupal.org?





Tasks for the upcoming week


Smart Date - Martin (maintainer) to review promptly,
I've already chatted with him about it. Create a new
functional test: "submit a range with an end time before
the start and validate that an error is returned"

Create an issue in the Smart Date queue and assign
to yourself.

Create an issue fork.

Check out the issue fork locally.

Write (and test) the test locally.

Commit and push to the issue fork.

Mark issue as "Needs review".

Ask someone to review - if all looks good, the
reviewer will mark as RBTC.
