Examples on Zend_Rest_Controller Unit Testing - php

Question

I have found a bunch of examples how to unit test Zend_Controller, but I'm looking for examples on Zend_Rest_Controller Unit Testing. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

So, basically your question is how to emulate calling PUT and DELETE in your controller tests?
Since this apparently doesn't work:
$this->request->setMethod('PUT');
You can access both these actions with plain HTTP POST by providing _method parameter.
So to call PUT:
$this->request->setMethod('POST');
$this->dispatch('articles/123?_method=put');
To call DELETE:
$this->request->setMethod('POST');
$this->dispatch('articles/123?_method=delete');

/**
* Sample class to test a controller
*/
class ArticleControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
public $bootstrap;
public function setUp()
{
// When bootstrap is called it will run function 'appBootstrap'
$this->bootstrap = array($this, 'appBootstrap');
parent::setUp();
}
public function appBootstrap()
{
$this->application = new Zend_Application(
APPLICATION_ENV,
APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini');
$this->application->bootstrap();
$bootstrap = $this->application->getBootstrap();
$front = $bootstrap->getResource('FrontController');
$front->setParam('bootstrap', $bootstrap);
}
public function tearDown()
{
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->resetInstance();
$this->resetRequest();
$this->resetResponse();
parent::tearDown();
}
public function testIndexAction()
{
$testCases = array(
'/article/',
'/article/id/123/',
'/article/authorId/777/limit/5/',
'/article/commentId/999/startDate/2011-06-01/endDate/2011-06-01/',
);
foreach ($testCases as $url) {
$this->request->setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/json');
$this->dispatch($url);
$this->assertResponseCode(200);
$this->assertModule('default');
$this->assertController('article');
$this->assertAction('get');
$body = json_decode($this->response->getBody(), true);
$this->assertNotEmpty($body);
...
$this->resetRequest();
$this->resetResponse();
}
}
public function testGetAction()
{
// Same as $this->testIndexAction()
}
public function testPostAction()
{
// Similar to $this->testIndexAction()
// Add $this->request->setMethod('POST'); before dispatch
// Change $this->assertResponseCode(200); to 201 as REST requires
}
public function testPutAction()
{
// Similar to $this->testIndexAction()
// Add $this->request->setMethod('PUT'); before dispatch
}
public function testDeleteAction()
{
// Similar to $this->testIndexAction()
// Add $this->request->setMethod('DELETE'); before dispatch
}
}
