Using the Test Suite

This document is targeted at developers looking to make modifications to this application's code base and want to run the existing test suite.

Setup

Follow the instructions for installing the application locally, making sure to have also run the [database migrations](link to db migrations).

Unit Tests

The application will use values in the .env.testing file located in the root directory to override the default settings and/or other values that exist in your .env files.

Make sure to modify the section in .env.testing that has the database settings. In the example below, it is connecting to the MariaDB server that is used if you install the application using Docker.

# --------------------------------------------
# REQUIRED: DATABASE SETTINGS
# --------------------------------------------
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=snipeit
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=changeme1234

To run the entire unit test suite, use the following command from your terminal:

php artisan test --env=testing

To run individual test files, you can pass the path to the test that you want to run.

php artisan test --env=testing tests/Unit/AccessoryTest.php

Browser Tests

The browser tests use Dusk to run them. When troubleshooting any problems, make sure that your .env file is configured correctly to run the existing application.

Test Setup

Your application needs to be configued and up and running in order for the browser tests to actually run. When running the tests locally, you can start the application using the following command:

php artisan serve

To run the test suite use the following command from another terminal tab or window:

php artisan dusk

To run individual test files, you can pass the path to the test that you want to run.

php artisan dusk tests/Browser/LoginTest.php
