I'm just getting used to unit testing and on my new project I decided to adopt a TDD approach.
My code below is to test the UserServices class which is responsible for creating a user, deleting a user, checking if a user exists etc.
Am I on the right lines? I ask because everywhere I look it discusses mocking and I can't help but think I should be mocking predis (a package used for interacting with Redis in PHP). But, mocking it would be difficult as my class expects an instance of Predis.
In the setup I create a dummy user to perform actions on. I may need to create more than one, but at this stage I just use the one. Although, there are methods such as createUser that would need to create an entirely new user.
<?php
namespace VoteMySnap\Tests;
class UserServicesTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
const HOST = '127.0.0.1';
const PORT = 6379
const AUTH = NULL;
public $predis;
public function setUp()
{
$this->predis = new \PredisClient([
'host' => HOST,
'port' => PORT
]);
/*
* Create a dummy user
*/
$dummyUser = [
'user:1' => [
'snapchat_username' => 'james16',
'password' => 'somesecret',
'email' => '[email protected]'
]
];
/*
* Insert user into Redis
*/
$this->predis->hmSet(key($dummyUser), $dummyUser[key($dummyUser)]);
}
public function tearDown()
{
/*
* Remove the dummy user
*/
$this->predis->delete(key($dummyUser));
}
}
Am I on the right tracks here?
