Getting Rolling If this is your first time, start by downloading the SimpleTest module, and the Simple Test framework. Then create a directory in your module called tests, and add a file your_module.test. Here is a template: <?php class YourModuleTest extends DrupalTestCase { function get_info () { return array( 'name' => t ( 'Your Module Test' ), 'desc' => t ( 'blah, blah' ), 'group' => 'Your Tests' ); } function setUp () { // do any set up } function testRawFragment () { // get rolling with $this->asserts } ?> Then add this to your module: <?php function your_module_simpletest () { $dir = drupal_get_path ( 'module' , 'your_module' ). DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'tests' ; $tests = file_scan_directory ( $dir , '\.test' ); return array_keys ( $tests ); } ?> There are other ways to do it, but this will get you up and running. Custom Path I like functionality of the SimpleTest but I don't care for the interface. So I just create a custom drupal path to run my tests directly: <?php function your_module_menu ( $may_cache ) { if( $may_cache ) { $items [] = array( 'path' => 'your_module/test' , 'callback' => 'your_module_test' , 'access' => true , 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK ); } return $items ; } function your_module_test () { simpletest_load (); $output = simpletest_run_tests ( array( 'YourModuleTest' ) ); print theme ( 'page' , $output ); } ?> Validating HTML Fragments Saving the best for last. I am currently working on code that generates html fragments. Simple Test out-of-the-box does a great job helping you test entire http pages, but only it if goes and gets them itself. I could not find any easy way to load in a local page/fragment. So I did it the hard way: <?php function setUp () { require_once( SIMPLE_TEST . '/mock_objects.php' ); Mock :: generate ( 'SimpleHttpResponse' ); } function setSource ( $html ) { $this -> _mockResponse = new MockSimpleHttpResponse (); $this -> _mockResponse -> setReturnValue ( 'isError' , false ); $this -> _mockResponse -> setReturnValue ( 'getContent' , $html ); $this -> _browser -> _page = $this -> _browser -> _parse ( $this -> _mockResponse ); } ?> Now, in my tests, I can say great things like this: <?php $html = drupal_get_form ( $form_id ); $this -> assertNull ( form_get_errors () ); $this -> setSource ( $html ); $this -> assertText ( 'bar' ); $this -> assertField ( 'setme' , 'one' ); $this -> assertNull ( $this -> _browser -> getField ( 'added' ) ); ?> tao's blog Add new comment

Validating HTML Fragments Saving the best for last. I am currently working on code that generates html fragments. Simple Test out-of-the-box does a great job helping you test entire http pages, but only it if goes and gets them itself. I could not find any easy way to load in a local page/fragment.
