Writing Doctrine Unit Tests with Zend_Test




Zend Screencasts: Video Tutorials about the Zend PHP Framework  (iphone) show

Summary: <p>Building on the Introduction to Doctrine 1.2 video, this video will show how you can easily test the persistence of Doctrine models within the Zend_Test environment.</p> <p>I also touch briefly on how to setup the latest version of MAMP with phpunit. </p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I spoke to Guilherme Blanco (one of the core developers behind Doctrine) and he kindly brought up some things I should bear in mind for my Doctrine / Zend set.<br> Doctrine’s autoloader configuration <a href="http://www.doctrine-project.org/upgrade/1_2#PEAR%20Style%20Model%20Loading%20and%20Generation">can be scaled back by doing PEAR style Model Loading (new to 1.2)</a>. Also, you can use Doctrine_Core instead of Doctrine since everything has been moved to Doctrine_Core in order to follow Zend-style namespacing.</p> <p>lastly, you can register your own CLI tasks as part of Doctrine’s CLI script or just write them in the scripts/doctrine.php file. With this, you could have your newly-generated models placed in the necessary folders. I’ll be experimenting with this in the coming week.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p>
