How to test Doctrine Repositories
How to test Doctrine Repositories¶
Unit testing Doctrine repositories in a Symfony project is not recommended. When you're dealing with a repository, you're really dealing with something that's meant to be tested against a real database connection.
Fortunately, you can easily test your queries against a real database, as described below.
Functional Testing¶
If you need to actually execute a query, you will need to boot the kernel
to get a valid connection. In this case, you'll extend the WebTestCase,
which makes all of this quite easy:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 | // src/Acme/StoreBundle/Tests/Entity/ProductRepositoryFunctionalTest.php
namespace Acme\StoreBundle\Tests\Entity;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase;
class ProductRepositoryFunctionalTest extends WebTestCase
{
/**
* @var \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager
*/
private $em;
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
public function setUp()
{
static::$kernel = static::createKernel();
static::$kernel->boot();
$this->em = static::$kernel->getContainer()
->get('doctrine')
->getManager()
;
}
public function testSearchByCategoryName()
{
$products = $this->em
->getRepository('AcmeStoreBundle:Product')
->searchByCategoryName('foo')
;
$this->assertCount(1, $products);
}
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
protected function tearDown()
{
parent::tearDown();
$this->em->close();
}
}
