TDD Example Drupal 8 Blog Module
A demo module to accompany my TDD - Test Driven Drupal talk, originally for DrupalCamp Dublin 2017.
In order to see my workflow of writing comments first, converting them into failing tests, and then writing the implementation code to make them pass, you can see the list of previous commits and see each step taken, as well as the tags that identify the commits when each failing test is added and then subsequently passes.
Acceptance Criteria
This module will be used to demonstrate how to take a test-driven approach to develop a module to the following acceptance criteria:
- As a site visitor
- I want to see a list of all published blog posts at
/blog - Ordered by post date, with the newest posts first
Installation
Within your Drupal 8 site:
cd modules
git clone git@github.com:opdavies/drupal-module-tdd-blog.git tdd_blog
Running the Tests
These tests are functional tests based on the BrowserTestBase class so need
to be executed with PHPUnit (which is required in core's composer.json file).
The path to your vendor directory may be different depending on your setup.
Because of autoloading, you will either need to be inside Drupal's core subdirectory
, or add -c core to the PHPUnit command when running the tests for them to execute successfully.
This also assumes that the module is within a modules/custom directory and
named tdd_blog as per the repository name.
vendor/bin/phpunit -c core modules/custom/tdd_blog
You can use PHPUnit's --filter option to specify a single test method to run,
rather than all of the tests within the module. For example:
vendor/bin/phpunit -c core modules/custom/tdd_blog --filter=testOnlyPublishedPagesAreShown
