TestCase BaseClass for Zend Framework

Just sharing some code here. If you’re planning to use the phpunit.xml then you would probably put all the setup logic in the bootstrap. I did a post before about setting up phpunit for Zend Server. Actually I configured the unit tests to run with the Zend Server executable in Zend Studio because it has a larger amount of extensions (Oracle connectivity to start with).

class TestCaseBase extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
	/**
	 *	@var Zend_Application
	 */
	public $app;

	public function setUp()
    {
    	if (!defined('APPLICATION_PATH')){
    		define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../application'));
    	}

    	set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    		realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
    		get_include_path(),
			)
		));

		/** Zend_Application */
		require_once APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library/Zend/Application.php';

        $this->app = new Zend_Application('unittest',
        	realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../tests/application/configs/application.ini'));

        $this->app->setBootstrap(realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../tests/application/bootstrap.php'));
        $this->app->bootstrap();

        $bs = $this->app->getBootstrap();
    	/* @var $front Zend_Controller_Front */
    	$front = $bs->getResource("FrontController");
    	$front->addModuleDirectory(realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules'));

    	$bs->registerPluginResource("modules");
    	$bs->bootstrap("modules");
    }

    public function tearDown()
    {
        /* Tear Down Routine */
    }

    public function log($message, $label = null)
    {
    	if (null != $label) {
    		echo $label . ': ' . $message . "\n";
    	} else {
    		echo $message . "\n";
    	}
    }
}
