--- title: Adding tests to the Content Access by Path module date: 2024-03-16 permalink: archive/2024/03/16/adding-tests-to-the-content-access-by-path-module tags: - software-development - drupal - php - automated-testing cta: subscription snippet: | As promised, I've added some tests to the Content Access by Path module. --- Last month, I released the [Beyond Blocks podcast episode][episode] where I spoke with Mark Conroy. We spoke about a number of things, including the 'Content Access by Path' Drupal module he wrote, and I promised I'd write some automated tests for it as there weren't any at the time. [Yesterday on my Friday live stream][stream], I installed the module and learnt how it works whilst writing some automated tests. As is common, the first test took a little while to do as I got the setup steps working and learned how the module worked. Once that was passing, adding the others was fairly straight forward. After the stream, I [created an issue][issue] with a merge request to add the tests I wrote and enabling GitLab CI so they'll be automatically run for any other changes. Hopefully, it'll be reviewed soon, but I've done what I promised, contributed to more open-source software, learned more about a new module and, hopefully, others will have learned things from the stream too.
