Unit Testing

This feature is in initial development. Feature may change substantially at any time

Unit testing can be done using PHPUnit testing. Testing can be done against any database that is available that you have admin rights on. The test creates tables, populates them with small amounts of data and drops them.

Setup

Configuration information for the tests is held in a configuration file adodb-unittest.ini. The file can be located anywhere in the PHP include path. The configuration is based on the driver name.

[mysqli]
dsn=
host=mysql-server.com
user=root
password=somepassword
database=adodb-tester
debug=0
parameters=

Setting	Description
dsn	Either use a connection DSN or specify the parameters usual
host	The hostname associated with the database
user	The connection username
password	The connection password
debug	Sets the debug mode
parameters	To set parameters normally set by `setConnectionParameter()`, create a string in format key=value; Note that the parameters cannot be defined as constants, you must use the numeric or string equivalents

Test Execution

phpunit unittest --bootstrap unittest/dbconnector.php <driver>

Where the <driver> name represents the ADOdb driver to use. For use of PDO drivers use the format pdo-<driver>. The driver name must follow the bootstrap file name
