How Does One Produce a Selenium Test with Database Fixture

Question

Zend Test appears to rely upon Zend_Test_PHPUnit_DatabaseTestCase and Selenium appears to need PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase yet as far as I can tell PHP doesn't support multiple inheritance.

Answer 1

You do not have to extend the PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase, you can initialize Selenium in your setUp method and close it in tearDown:

class GoogleTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_DatabaseTestCase {

    private $selenium;

    public function setUp()
    {
        $this->selenium = new Testing_Selenium("*iexplore", "http://<your_url_under_the_test>");
        $this->selenium->start();
    }

    public function tearDown()
    {
        $this->selenium->stop();
    }

    // Your tests...

}
