RestAPITest
This symfony bundle is made to simplify testing of your rest API., (*1)
It can be useful for functional tests based on data fixtures and for acceptance tests., (*2)
Also current bundle provides some aliases of doctrine commands. It was made to prevent copy-paste of the same commands in your CI (for example, in Makefile, in setup of your tests, etc.), (*3)
Contents, (*4)
Installation
Install via Composer:, (*5)
composer require litvinab/rest-api-test
Enable Bundle
In your app/AppKernel.php file, add the following to your list of dev bundles:, (*6)
<?php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
public function registerBundles()
{
// ...
$bundles = [
...
new Litvinab\Bundle\RestApiTestBundle\RestApiTestBundle()
];
// ...
}
}
Commands
-
bin/console db:create - alias of doctrine:database:create command;, (*7)
-
bin/console db:update-schema - alias of doctrine:schema:update --force command;, (*8)
-
bin/console db:load-fixtures - alias of doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction command;, (*9)
-
bin/console db:clear-cache - clean database metadata, query, result cache at the same time;, (*10)
Functional Data Fixtures Based Tests
Configuration
1. Setup parameters_test.yml with test database name and connection details;, (*11)
2. Create data fixtures and configure them right;, (*12)
How To Use
Extend test cases mentioned below and call method to reload test data fixtures before each test or before specified test., (*13)
Call db:create, db:create-schema before using to create test database and create database schema;, (*14)
FixturesWebTestCase
It can be useful in repositories tests to have the same database state at the beggining of each test., (*15)
Methods:, (*16)
getContainer()
getEntityManager()
getRepository($name)
RestFixturesWebTestCase
Methods:, (*17)
getJson($endpoint, $headers = array())
postJson($endpoint, $json, array $headers = array())
putJson($endpoint, $json, array $headers = array())
deleteJson($endpoint, array $headers = array())
reloadDb() - reload data fixtures by prompt without db recreation and schema update
Asserts:, (*18)
assertResponse(Response $response, $expectedStatusCode, $expectedContent)
assertJsonResponse(Response $response, $expectedStatusCode, $expectedJson)
assertResponseCode(Response $response, $expectedStatusCode)
Examples
FixturesWebTestCase
<?php
namespace Project\Infrastructure\Repository;
use Litvinab\Bundle\RestApiTestBundle\TestCase\FixturesWebTestCase;
use Project\Domain\Entity\Attribute;
class AttributeRepositoryTest extends FixturesWebTestCase
{
public function setUp()
{
parent::setUp();
$this->reloadDb();
}
public function test_get_by_slug__success()
{
$repo = $this->getRepository('ProjectDomain:Attribute');
$attr = $repo->getBySlug('currency');
$this->assertInstanceOf(Attribute::class, $attr);
$this->assertEquals(2, $attr->getId());
$this->assertEquals('Product Currency', $attr->getCaption());
}
}
RestFixturesWebTestCase
<?php
namespace Project\Application\Controller;
use Litvinab\Bundle\RestApiTestBundle\TestCase\RestFixturesWebTestCase;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
class AttributeControllerTest extends RestFixturesWebTestCase
{
public function test_get_task__success()
{
$this->reloadDb();
$response = $this->getJson('/api/attributes/currency');
$expectedJson = '{"caption":"Product Currency","slug":"currency"}';
$this->assertJsonResponse($response, Response::HTTP_OK, $expectedJson);
}
public function test_get_task__failure_with_integer_id()
{
$response = $this->getJson('/api/attributes/3');
$this->assertResponseCode($response, Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND);
}
}
Acceptance (Behat) Tests
Configuration
1. Add route to routing.yml:, (*19)
rest_api_test:
resource: "@RestApiTestBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
prefix: /api/test
2. Add parameters to parameters.yml (rest_api_test.access_token value should be secured enough):, (*20)
rest_api_test.controller_on: true
rest_api_test.access_token: "5j%]4fX.)z[HTR{M"
rest_api_test.controller_on (false by default) - parameter to turn ON/OFF endpoint to reload database in symfony prod environment., (*21)
Be careful! It should be turned ON for acceptance tests (external tests of rest API) only.
Do not turn ON it at production server!
It would be good to setup additional security rules for this endpoint, for example, white list of IPs., (*22)
rest_api_test.access_token (empty string by default) - random strong password, for example, 5j%]4fX.)z[HTR{M;
This token required to access to reload db endpoint; It will be applied only ifrest_api_test.controller_on is set to true;, (*23)
How To Use
Your application side:, (*24)
1. Setup data fixtures if they weren't setup yet;, (*25)
2. Setup separated application instance with not production database;, (*26)
Bundle provides possibility to reload data fixtures in prod symfony environment to make possible an end-user testing;, (*27)
3. check configuration setup in parameters.yml;, (*28)
Behat tests runner side:, (*29)
Make GET request to reload database state of your application. It should be made before each acceptance test., (*30)
Endpoint: http://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/test/db/reload, (*31)
Custom header: Rest-API-Test-Access-Token: 5j%]4fX.)z[HTR{M (value is value of rest_api_test.access_token parameter);, (*32)
As result database mentioned in parameters.yml should be reloaded with your test data fixtures;, (*33)
