Creating your custom PHPUnit output formats
While tackling with someones question i decided it’s time to play around with XSLT for learning purposes and i found something useful to do.<p />He wanted to extend the –testdox-html output and i proposed to just transform PHPUnits XML output using an XSLT since i didn’t see a easy way to prove a custom implementation for PHPUnit/Util/TestDox/ResultPrinter/HTML.php and i didn’t want to change the file its self.
So let’s play around a bit.
A simple test:
<?php
class DemoTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
public function testPass() {
$this->assertTrue(true);
}
public function testFail() {
$this->assertTrue(false);
}
}
and generate some XML, for that test i used the jUnit output:
phpunit --log-junit foo.xml DemoTest.php
and write a simple XSLT. It might not be the best way to do that but like i said: I’m just looked for something to learn about XSLT so correct my if I’m wrong.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Tests</h1>
<xsl:for-each select="testsuites/testsuite">
<h2><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></h2>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="testcase">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
<xsl:if test="failure">
<b>Failed !</b>
<i><xsl:value-of select="*"/></i>
</xsl:if>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet> > and using that with the XML output using a Linux command line tool:
xsltproc foo.xsl foo.xml > output.html
and that produces a nice litte HTML files:
<h1>Tests</h1>
<h2>DemoTest</h2>
<ul>
<li>testPass</li>
<li>testFail<b>Failed !</b></code></div>
<i>DemoTest::testFail
Failed asserting that <boolean:false> is true.
/home/edo/DemoTest.php:10
</i>
</li>
</ul>
P.S:
To make at least something a litte more useful out of that blog post:
I’m planing about writing about use cases for phpab and on how to ship your PHP_CodeSniffer coding standard with your project. If you have further suggestions I’d like to hear them.
