The PrestaShop Module Testing Database package aims to enable automated integration tests on a separate testing database. This allows data to be manipulated and truncated freely without affecting the original database, which can be preserved for manual testing. While this functionality is common in popular frameworks like Symfony or Laravel, it is now available for PrestaShop modules.
The primary goal of this package is to:
- Enable automated integration tests on a separate testing database.
- Ensure the original database remains intact for manual testing.
Firstly, install this composer package in your target module:
composer require mandan2/prestashop-module-testing-databaseTo create a clone database, run the following command in your terminal from module's main dir:
php vendor/mandan2/prestashop-module-testing-database/CreateTestDatabase.phpTo switch to the clone database, use the following command from module's main dir:
php vendor/mandan2/prestashop-module-testing-database/UseTestDatabase.phpTo revert to the original database, use the following command from module's main dir:
php vendor/mandan2/prestashop-module-testing-database/UseOriginalDatabase.phpThese commands can be integrated into your workflow when launching tests. This enables seamless switching between the test and original databases, ensuring an efficient and isolated testing environment.
