Discovering unittests

at 2009-06-01 in Unittests, Examples by friebe (0 comments)

In the api documentation of a class, certain tags can be used, such as @see, @param or @return. Not only can they be used but it's actually strongly encouraged (you knew that, though).

To discover unittests by a given class name, the doclet API can be used.

Sourcecode:

<?php 
  uses('text.doclet.Doclet', 'util.cmd.Console');
  
  class UnittestsOf extends Doclet {
  
    public function start(RootDoc $root) {
      while ($this->classes->hasNext()) {
        foreach ($this->classes->next()->tags('test') as $test) {
          Console::write($test->class, ' ');
        }
      }
    }
  }
?>

To run this doclet, simply call it as follows:

  $ doclet UnittestsOf lang.XPClass

It will output the test class names that ensure lang.XPClass' functionality.
