The most +dramatic changes are in the alpha releases. Here is a list of possible +problems and their fixes... + +No method getRelativeUrls() or getAbsoluteUrls() +------------------------------------------------ +These methods were always a bit weird anyway, and +the new parsing of the base tag makes them more so. +They have been replaced with getUrls() instead. If +you want the old functionality then simply chop +off the current domain from getUrl(). + +Method setWildcard() removed in mocks +------------------------------------- +Even setWildcard() has been removed in 1.0.1beta now. +If you want to test explicitely for a '*' string, then +simply pass in new IdenticalExpectation('*') instead. + +No method _getTest() on mocks +----------------------------- +This has finally been removed. It was a pretty esoteric +flex point anyway. It was there to allow the mocks to +work with other test tools, but no one does this. + +No method assertError(), assertNoErrors(), swallowErrors() +---------------------------------------------------------- +These have been deprecated in 1.0.1beta in favour of +expectError() and expectException(). assertNoErrors() is +redundant if you use expectError() as failures are now reported +immediately. + +No method TestCase::signal() +---------------------------- +This has been deprecated in favour of triggering an error or +throwing an exception. Deprecated as of 1.0.1beta. + +No method TestCase::sendMessage() +--------------------------------- +This has been deprecated as of 1.0.1beta. + +Failure to connect now emits failures +------------------------------------- +It used to be that you would have to use the +getTransferError() call on the web tester to see if +there was a socket level error in a fetch. This check +is now always carried out by the WebTestCase unless +the fetch is prefaced with WebTestCase::ignoreErrors(). +The ignore directive only lasts for test case fetching +action such as get() and click(). + +No method SimpleTestOptions::ignore() +------------------------------------- +This is deprecated in version 1.0.1beta and has been moved +to SimpleTest::ignore() as that is more readable. In +addition, parent classes are also ignored automatically. +If you are using PHP5 you can skip this directive simply +by marking your test case as abstract. + +No method assertCopy() +---------------------- +This is deprecated in 1.0.1 in favour of assertClone(). +The assertClone() method is slightly different in that +the objects must be identical, but without being a +reference. It is thus not a strict inversion of +assertReference(). + +Constructor wildcard override has no effect in mocks +---------------------------------------------------- +As of 1.0.1beta this is now set with setWildcard() instead +of in the constructor. + +No methods setStubBaseClass()/getStubBaseClass() +------------------------------------------------ +As mocks are now used instead of stubs, these methods +stopped working and are now removed as of the 1.0.1beta +release. The mock objects may be freely used instead. + +No method addPartialMockCode() +------------------------------ +The ability to insert arbitrary partial mock code +has been removed. This was a low value feature +causing needless complications. It was removed +in the 1.0.1beta release. + +No method setMockBaseClass() +---------------------------- +The ability to change the mock base class has been +scheduled for removal and is deprecated since the +1.0.1beta version. This was a rarely used feature +except as a workaround for PHP5 limitations. As +these limitations are being resolved it's hoped +that the bundled mocks can be used directly. + +No class Stub +------------- +Server stubs are deprecated from 1.0.1 as the mocks now +have exactly the same interface. Just use mock objects +instead. + +No class SimpleTestOptions +-------------------------- +This was replced by the shorter SimpleTest in 1.0.1beta1 +and is since deprecated. + +No file simple_test.php +----------------------- +This was renamed test_case.php in 1.0.1beta to more accurately +reflect it's purpose. This file should never be directly +included in test suites though, as it's part of the +underlying mechanics and has a tendency to be refactored. + +No class WantedPatternExpectation +--------------------------------- +This was deprecated in 1.0.1alpha in favour of the simpler +name PatternExpectation. + +No class NoUnwantedPatternExpectation +------------------------------------- +This was deprecated in 1.0.1alpha in favour of the simpler +name NoPatternExpectation. + +No method assertNoUnwantedPattern() +----------------------------------- +This has been renamed to assertNoPattern() in 1.0.1alpha and +the old form is deprecated. + +No method assertWantedPattern() +------------------------------- +This has been renamed to assertPattern() in 1.0.1alpha and +the old form is deprecated. + +No method assertExpectation() +----------------------------- +This was renamed as assert() in 1.0.1alpha and the old form +has been deprecated. + +No class WildcardExpectation +---------------------------- +This was a mostly internal class for the mock objects. It was +renamed AnythingExpectation to bring it closer to JMock and +NMock in version 1.0.1alpha. + +Missing UnitTestCase::assertErrorPattern() +------------------------------------------ +This method is deprecated for version 1.0.1 onwards. +This method has been subsumed by assertError() that can now +take an expectation. Simply pass a PatternExpectation +into assertError() to simulate the old behaviour. + +No HTML when matching page elements +----------------------------------- +This behaviour has been switched to using plain text as if it +were seen by the user of the browser. This means that HTML tags +are suppressed, entities are converted and whitespace is +normalised. This should make it easier to match items in forms. +Also images are replaced with their "alt" text so that they +can be matched as well. + +No method SimpleRunner::_getTestCase() +-------------------------------------- +This was made public as getTestCase() in 1.0RC2. + +No method restartSession() +-------------------------- +This was renamed to restart() in the WebTestCase, SimpleBrowser +and the underlying SimpleUserAgent in 1.0RC2. Because it was +undocumented anyway, no attempt was made at backward +compatibility. + +My custom test case ignored by tally() +-------------------------------------- +The _assertTrue method has had it's signature changed due to a bug +in the PHP 5.0.1 release. You must now use getTest() from within +that method to get the test case. Mock compatibility with other +unit testers is now deprecated as of 1.0.1alpha as PEAR::PHPUnit2 +should soon have mock support of it's own. + +Broken code extending SimpleRunner +---------------------------------- +This was replaced with SimpleScorer so that I could use the runner +name in another class. This happened in RC1 development and there +is no easy backward compatibility fix. The solution is simply to +extend SimpleScorer instead. + +Missing method getBaseCookieValue() +----------------------------------- +This was renamed getCurrentCookieValue() in RC1. + +Missing files from the SimpleTest suite +--------------------------------------- +Versions of SimpleTest prior to Beta6 required a SIMPLE_TEST constant +to point at the SimpleTest folder location before any of the toolset +was loaded. This is no longer documented as it is now unnecessary +for later versions. If you are using an earlier version you may +need this constant. Consult the documentation that was bundled with +the release that you are using or upgrade to Beta6 or later. + +No method SimpleBrowser::getCurrentUrl() +-------------------------------------- +This is replaced with the more versatile showRequest() for +debugging. It only existed in this context for version Beta5. +Later versions will have SimpleBrowser::getHistory() for tracking +paths through pages. It is renamed as getUrl() since 1.0RC1. + +No method Stub::setStubBaseClass() +---------------------------------- +This method has finally been removed in 1.0RC1. Use +SimpleTestOptions::setStubBaseClass() instead. + +No class CommandLineReporter +---------------------------- +This was renamed to TextReporter in Beta3 and the deprecated version +was removed in 1.0RC1. + +No method requireReturn() +------------------------- +This was deprecated in Beta3 and is now removed. + +No method expectCookie() +------------------------ +This method was abruptly removed in Beta4 so as to simplify the internals +until another mechanism can replace it. As a workaround it is necessary +to assert that the cookie has changed by setting it before the page +fetch and then assert the desired value. + +No method clickSubmitByFormId() +------------------------------- +This method had an incorrect name as no button was involved. It was +renamed to submitByFormId() in Beta4 and the old version deprecated. +Now removed. + +No method paintStart() or paintEnd() +------------------------------------ +You should only get this error if you have subclassed the lower level +reporting and test runner machinery. These methods have been broken +down into events for test methods, events for test cases and events +for group tests. The new methods are... + +paintStart() --> paintMethodStart(), paintCaseStart(), paintGroupStart() +paintEnd() --> paintMethodEnd(), paintCaseEnd(), paintGroupEnd() + +This change was made in Beta3, ironically to make it easier to subclass +the inner machinery. Simply duplicating the code you had in the previous +methods should provide a temporary fix. + +No class TestDisplay +-------------------- +This has been folded into SimpleReporter in Beta3 and is now deprecated. +It was removed in RC1. + +No method WebTestCase::fetch() +------------------------------ +This was renamed get() in Alpha8. It is removed in Beta3. + +No method submit() +------------------ +This has been renamed clickSubmit() in Beta1. The old method was +removed in Beta2. + +No method clearHistory() +------------------------ +This method is deprecated in Beta2 and removed in RC1. + +No method getCallCount() +------------------------ +This method has been deprecated since Beta1 and has now been +removed. There are now more ways to set expectations on counts +and so this method should be unecessery. Removed in RC1. + +Cannot find file * +------------------ +The following public name changes have occoured... + +simple_html_test.php --> reporter.php +simple_mock.php --> mock_objects.php +simple_unit.php --> unit_tester.php +simple_web.php --> web_tester.php + +The old names were deprecated in Alpha8 and removed in Beta1. + +No method attachObserver() +-------------------------- +Prior to the Alpha8 release the old internal observer pattern was +gutted and replaced with a visitor. This is to trade flexibility of +test case expansion against the ease of writing user interfaces. + +Code such as... + +$test = &new MyTestCase(); +$test->attachObserver(new TestHtmlDisplay()); +$test->run(); + +...should be rewritten as... + +$test = &new MyTestCase(); +$test->run(new HtmlReporter()); + +If you previously attached multiple observers then the workaround +is to run the tests twice, once with each, until they can be combined. +For one observer the old method is simulated in Alpha 8, but is +removed in Beta1. + +No class TestHtmlDisplay +------------------------ +This class has been renamed to HtmlReporter in Alpha8. It is supported, +but deprecated in Beta1 and removed in Beta2. If you have subclassed +the display for your own design, then you will have to extend this +class (HtmlReporter) instead. + +If you have accessed the event queue by overriding the notify() method +then I am afraid you are in big trouble :(. The reporter is now +carried around the test suite by the runner classes and the methods +called directly. In the unlikely event that this is a problem and +you don't want to upgrade the test tool then simplest is to write your +own runner class and invoke the tests with... + +$test->accept(new MyRunner(new MyReporter())); + +...rather than the run method. This should be easier to extend +anyway and gives much more control. Even this method is overhauled +in Beta3 where the runner class can be set within the test case. Really +the best thing to do is to upgrade to this version as whatever you were +trying to achieve before should now be very much easier. + +Missing set options method +-------------------------- +All test suite options are now in one class called SimpleTestOptions. +This means that options are set differently... + +GroupTest::ignore() --> SimpleTestOptions::ignore() +Mock::setMockBaseClass() --> SimpleTestOptions::setMockBaseClass() + +These changed in Alpha8 and the old versions are now removed in RC1. + +No method setExpected*() +------------------------ +The mock expectations changed their names in Alpha4 and the old names +ceased to be supported in Alpha8. The changes are... + +setExpectedArguments() --> expectArguments() +setExpectedArgumentsSequence() --> expectArgumentsAt() +setExpectedCallCount() --> expectCallCount() +setMaximumCallCount() --> expectMaximumCallCount() + +The parameters remained the same. |
