Implement a Unit Test in Drupal for Drupal 8, Drupal 9
Let's write somewhat strict unit tests in a Drupal module. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:
- Understand what makes a unit test different from other types of tests.
- Determine the specifications of a unit test.
- Use mocking to isolate units under test, and to force code flow to achieve high coverage.
We'll start out with a brief introduction to unit tests. Then we'll look at a contrived example of a Drupal controller class for illustration purposes. Next, we'll test two units of this controller class, each requiring different mock styles.
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
