[fw-mvc] Using Zend_Test with Controller Plugins

Brenton,

Thanks for the feedback....I kept at it and I came up with a solution that sounds similar to what you have suggested.

I don't think its a bug, but more like a missing functionality. 

There should be a Zend_Application::run()  equivalent implemented in Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase that accounts for this behaviour.

So when writing the test ....

$this->dispatch('/');

becomes

$this->run('/');


 .....Until then,  for others that may come across this issue this is what I implemented...

abstract class My_ControllerTestCase extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
    protected $application;

    public function setUp()
    {

       
        $this->bootstrap = array($this, 'appBootstrap');
            
       
        return parent::setUp();
    }
   
    public function appBootstrap()
       {
      
        $this->application = new Zend_Application(APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/config/app.ini');
       
        $this->application->bootstrap();
       
        $bootstrap = $this->application->getBootstrap();
       
        $front = $bootstrap->getResource('FrontController');
       
        $front->setParam('bootstrap', $bootstrap);
                  
       }
}


class MyControllerTest extends My_ControllerTestCase
{

}

Regards,

Nomolos

The bootstrap doesn't seem to get injected as a invokeArg to the
controllers when dispatched through the test case. I'm not sure if this
is a bug or not?

Took me a while to get working too, this is what I came up with.

In the Test class itself:

class WhateverTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
   public $bootstrap = 'library/bootstrap.php';
   ...
}

and library/bootstrap.php looks like:

$application = new Zend_Application(
   APPLICATION_ENV,
   APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
$application->bootstrap();

$this->getFrontController()->setParam('bootstrap',
$application->getBootstrap());

I actually do this in an abstract class, then extend my real test cases
from there.
