so you know where to look at |

in the tests for the sdk itself, they do exactly what I tried to do, in my own tests, to recreate the plugin's behavior--and yet for some reason kept getting exceptions thrown at me |

build a mock. |

I’m afraid I’m not familiar with either of those libs, but I’d expect there to be something you can swap out (via config or dependency inversion) to test *your* code without actually modifying said code. |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 18:21 |
ericadeefox |
again, I know, I wouldn't be asking if I had found a way to successfully recreate this plugin's behavior. |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 18:20 |
hmic |
ericadeefox: it should not. you should mock the things that need special handling during tests. NOT implement different behavior during testing! |

Have you looked at the tests for the plugin and SDK themselves to see how they might approach a similar problem? |

since the thing I'm verifying *does* behave conditionally depending on whether it's being tested, it seems appropriate. I am so spent on Facebook's SDK. it screwed up 100% of my integration tests. |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 18:18 |
ericadeefox |
I know. I just have no idea what else to do at this point. |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 18:04 |
mikesmoniker |
Ideally you wouldn’t do that because then the thing you’re supposed to be verifying the behavior of has it’s behavior conditional upon whether it’s being tested. |

ok new strategy: has anyone ever needed to write an if statement in their app controller that checked whether or not PHPUnit was running or if tests were running etc? |

Collection::filter(), does anyone know what `$key` is good for in the docs example? https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/collections.html#Cake\Collection\Collection::filter |

has anyone on here today got experience with @akkaweb's Facebook plugin or just using Facebook's php-sdk in general? |

So I'll start researching how to write a Unittest for my tasks |

Although I don't really care about how long they run |

@sauvaget If you’re running tests on push, then I would stick to critical path unit tests. Integration tests take a long time to run |

@ericadeefox and @neon1024 thank you I will take a look tommorow, thank you for the tips :slightly_smiling_face: |

I think that is probably my main problem, I just haven't got enough experience, when to use which testing method |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 15:05 |

So I should abort the Integration Test completly and only write Unittests or can I somehow inject the mocked class into my integration test? |

I like to write my CakePHP helpers in a TDD way to keep my hand in :P |

Which then ties into writing ‘testable code’, which helps loads. Especially if you respect the SOLID principles |

At least in my experience ;) |

Keeping your unit under test as small as possible will make writing tests super easy |

By having your stub MailGun class return a 500 or something |

You might want to test the third party service failing |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 14:53 |
neon1024 |
As all you can really test is that you send a request |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 14:52 |
neon1024 |
But if you’re using a third party to send mail, it’s pretty pointless to test it |
| # |
Jul 13th 2017, 14:52 |
neon1024 |
In this case to unit test your email send, you would inject a mock Mailgun class which has a fixed return |

That is not unit testing, that is integration testing. |

That's why I thought testing the tasks directly would do the trick. |

Okay, but for example in my QueueShellTest I create the Job SendEmail and start the worker with ``` $this->QueueShell->runworker(); ``` It will do everything fine. Now for sending the Email I use Mailgun. I don't really want to call the Mailgun API every time I run my Unittests (which run with every push to gitlab) So I will have to Mock the method in my SendEMail Task. But since I am not testing the Task directly I don't know how to Mock th |

I would recommend unit testing the methods in your worker, probably using a fixutre |
