Run a PHPUnit Selenium test case programatically ("within PHP") - php

Question

How can I run a test "within PHP" instead of using the 'phpunit' command? Example:
<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';
class MySeleniumTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase {
protected function setUp() {
$this->setBrowser("*firefox");
$this->setBrowserUrl("http://example.com/");
}
public function testMyTestCase() {
$this->open("/");
$this->click("//a[#href='/contact/']");
}
}
$test = new MySeleniumTest();
//I want to run the test and get information about the results so I can store them in the database, send an email etc.
?>
Or do I have to write the test to a file, invoke phpunit via system()/exec() and parse the output? :(

Answer 1

Just use the Driver that's included.
require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase/Driver.php';
//You may need to load a few other libraries. Try it.
Then you need to set it up like SeleniumTestCase does:
$driver = new PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase_Driver;
$driver->setName($browser['name']);
$driver->setBrowser($browser['browser']);
$driver->setHost($browser['host']);
$driver->setPort($browser['port']);
$driver->setTimeout($browser['timeout']);
$driver->setHttpTimeout($browser['httpTimeout']);
Then just:
$driver->open('/');
$driver->click("//a[#href='/contact/']");

Here's an example from the phpunit docs:
<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Framework.php';
require_once 'ArrayTest.php';
require_once 'SimpleTestListener.php';
// Create a test suite that contains the tests
// from the ArrayTest class.
$suite = new PHPUnit_Framework_TestSuite('ArrayTest');
// Create a test result and attach a SimpleTestListener
// object as an observer to it.
$result = new PHPUnit_Framework_TestResult;
$result->addListener(new SimpleTestListener);
// Run the tests.
$suite->run($result);
?>
The code for SimpleTestListener is on the same page.
