Question

So I ve set up testing in my ZF 1.9.5 application thanks to this tutorial, I am able to test my controllers, now I want to create a test for a form. However, I m having the problem that PHPUnit can t find my form.

Fatal error: Class  Default_Form_AccountProfile  not found

I m extending PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase instead of Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase since it is not a controller. Is that the right thing to do? Here is my test:

<?php

class AccountProfileTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function testPopulate()
    {
        $form = new Default_Form_AccountProfile();
        $user = array(
             firstName  =>  Joe ,
             lastName  =>  Schmoe 
        );
        $form->populate($user);
        $this->assertEquals($form->getElement( firstName )->getValue(),  Joe );
        $this->assertEquals($form->getElement( lastName )->getValue(),  Schmoe );
    }
}

What am I doing wrong? What would be the correct way to test a form in Zend Framework?

Answer 1

The simplest solution to your problem is to require_once the php file where your form is located at the beginning of this file (or before calling new Default_Form...).

BTW, is there a specific reason why are you testing the default behavior of the Zend_Form? Tests for Zend_Form are already written and you can get them if you download the full version of ZF. If the form you are using has it s own, specific methods, or is overwriting some of the Zend_Forms methods than it makes sense to test those.

Answer 2

If you look in your application.ini, look at the line stating "appnamespace" that defaults to "Application" if you re using Zend_Tool to create your Zend Framework skeleton.

In order to prevent this error to occur, you either change this setting to "Default" or you rename all Default_* classes to Application_* (in this particular case it would mean you rename "Default_Form_AccountProfile" into "Application_Form_AccountProfile").
