HTML_QuickForm made testable using PHPUnit

I was looking through the HTML_QuickForm package content and saw, that there is no test cases. I was interested in seeing how to do a testcase using
HTML_QuickForm, because I want to put my forms (and especially the rules added to the forms) though a PHPUnit test.

However, I cannot seem to find out how to submit the form with a simple php-code.

php Code:
Original - php Code
  1.  
  2. require_once 'HTML/QuickForm.php';
  3.  
  4. class MyForm extends HTML_QuickForm {
  5.  
  6.   function __construct()
  7.     $this = new HTML_QuickForm;
  8.     $this->addElement('text', 'text', 'text');
  9.     $this->addRule('text', 'must not be empty', 'notempty');
  10.   }
  11.  
  12. }


Now I was looking for a way to put it into a test case - I guess I could just set the defaults, and then submit it, but I don't see any way to do that. Can anybody help me out?

The test would go something like this - but it will not work until the form is submitted somehow.

php Code:
Original - php Code
  1.  
  2. require_once 'PHPUnit/Framework.php';
  3. require_once 'MyForm.php';
  4.  
  5. class MyFormTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
  6.     public function testMyFormRules()
  7.     {
  8.       $form = new MyForm;
  9.       $form->setDefaults(array('text', ''));
  10.       $this->assertFalse($form->validate())
  11.     }
  12. }
  13.

$form->validate() checks the values in $_POST, which means that you need to submit the form before you use such an assert call.

You might want to have a look at HTTP_Client or another package with a similar goal to simulate the submission.

RE: HTML_QuickForm made testable using PHPUnit

It was actually prettye easy, it turned out. I just had to populate the $_POST array, and then I could check the validate function.

That works, of course, but it isn't very realistic, especially when rules and filters are involved. For basic cases this is enough, though.

RE: HTML_QuickForm made testable using PHPUnit

Well, yes it is not the most realistic. However, I could not quite find out how to do the post using HTTP_Client::post(), as it requires an url to be specified!
