@ndm... so it is failing less hard now I think. I'm trying to understand what adding expectations would look like. Or what that does exactly... In my head, I expect: ```$locations = $this->Locations->find('all')->toArray();``` to return an array of data... Does this mean I need to add an expect to it where the method "find" returns an a resource or something? I'm just so confused.... TY for your help though so far this is |

Yea, no sandbox I don't think... that would be nice |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:44 |
ndm |
Also check whether your api has a sandbox |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:43 |

The API is quite extensive and subject to change. it would be way to difficult to simulate the whole thing honestly. I just want to mock the endpoints/webservices I'm using so that the controller can be tested. https://api.freshservice.com/v2/ |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:42 |
ndm |
Alternatively consider using some kind of dummy server for your test environment that simulates the API. |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:42 |
ndm |
Yes. |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:40 |
matthttam |
where do I put this? in the test itself? |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:35 |

->onlyMethods(['the', 'methods', 'to', 'mock']) ->getMock(); // ... add expectations to mock $locator = \Cake\Datasource\FactoryLocator::get('Endpoint'); $locator->set('Freshservice.Locations', $locationsMock); });``` |
| # |

I'm not familiar with that plugin, but the endpoint locator certainly seems to hold endpoint instances, so if you want to mock what `loadModel()` returns, then you'd probably want to mock `Freshservice\Model\Endpoint\LocationsEndpoint`. ```\Cake\Event\EventManager::instance()->on('Controller.initialize', function () { $locationsMock = $this ->getMockBuilder(\Freshservice\Model\Endpoint\LocationsEndpoint::class) |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:29 |
matthttam |
But test doesn't know what to do with it |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:28 |
matthttam |
The app itself works of course. It does the API call for realz and is currently just dumping a debug of $locations... |
| # |

Well... branch 3.0.0-RC3 though https://github.com/UseMuffin/Webservice/blob/3.0.0-RC3/src/Model/Endpoint.php |
| # |

I don't know enough of cakephp to do what you just asked honestly. I'm still trying to learn this beast of a framework. An endpoint extends Muffin\Webservice\Model\Endpoint https://github.com/UseMuffin/Webservice/blob/master/src/Model/Endpoint.php |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:25 |
ndm |
Also a webservice isn't an endpoint, or is it? |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:24 |
ndm |
Try in an event that happens after the plugin that provides the locator has registered it, say for example `Controller.initialize` (assuming you don't need to use the model earlier). |
| # |

); $locator = \Cake\Datasource\FactoryLocator::get('Endpoint'); $locator->set('Freshservice.Locations', $locations);``` |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:19 |
matthttam |
@ndm ```1) App\Test\TestCase\Controller\AssetsControllerTest::testTest InvalidArgumentException: Unknown repository type "Endpoint". Make sure you register a type before trying to use it.``` I mocked the webservice like so too... not sure if this is right honestly... ```$locations = $this->getMockForAbstractClass( 'Freshservice\Webservice\LocationsWebservice', array(), 'Locations', false |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:16 |
matthttam |
I'll try this |

@ndm I am unfortunately currently on 4.0.7. I plan to upgrade soon though. |

@matthttam Two suggestions, if you're on CakePHP 4.2+, use DI, container dependencies can be easily mocked (https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/development/dependency-injection.html#mocking-services-in-tests). Alternatively mock the model in the `Endpoint` locator, like: ```$locator = \Cake\Datasource\FactoryLocator::get('Endpoint'); $locator->set('Freshservice.Locations', $yourLocationsMockInstance);``` |
| # |

You install the plugin and then specify the host and scheme for the connection in your app_local.php file. Then, you set the API key dynamically based on the user who signs in (or at least that is how my app I am building does it). ```'freshservice' => [ 'host' => 'your_domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/', 'scheme' => 'https', ],``` |

I see no config folder in your project. Where are the Datasources defined? |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 14:08 |
matthttam |
Maybe I need to build a test_app folder like UseMuffin/Webservice does in my plugin? https://github.com/UseMuffin/Webservice/blob/master/tests/test_app/Webservice/StaticWebservice.php |

The thing is... I have a test database and tests that use my database work fine. The Freshservice plugin utilizes https://github.com/UseMuffin/Webservice This is the plugin I am using (and the one I built actually....) https://packagist.org/packages/matt_henry_ops/freshservice |

@matthttam reading the error you received, I would check that: https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/development/testing.html#test-database-setup Does this helps? |

an actual model... its a model of type "Endpoint".... and I tried mocking the class but even though I could do that it didn't make the test work lol. I'm just at a loss. |

Even loading a fixture from plugins.Freshservice.Locations fails still with an error of ```1) App\Test\TestCase\Controller\AssetsControllerTest::testTest Possibly related to Cake\Datasource\Exception\MissingDatasourceConfigException: "The datasource configuration "test_freshservice" was not found."``` I was hoping the loadModel would use the fixture or something... but it didn't And I don't know how to mock it since it isn't |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 13:43 |

Here is an action in my AssetsController file that I made just to try to figure out testing. ``` public function test() { $this->loadModel('Freshservice.Locations', 'Endpoint'); $locations = $this->Locations->find('all')->toArray(); $this->set(compact('locations')); }``` |

I'm really struggling with being able to write tests in cakephp. I'm using a plugin called freshservice that utilizes a web API. I don't want the tests to pull real data obviously so I've been trying to figure out how to either use a mock or a fixture so that the controller tests can succeed with fake data. Nothing I've tried works and I feel a bit out of my element here... |

or any special plugins |

the fact that it works with new data tells you/us, that there is nothing wrong with your model/table where your connections are being defined Are you use you don't have any custom event listeners which could change the entities in like a `beforeFind` or something like that? |

anyway i appreciate your help |

@kevin.pfeifer it is with old datas, i deleted the orm caches as well the normal cache |

Building another webservice (UseMuffin/Webservice) ( for cakephp, have already 5 in this project now. Really nice way to communicate with external services from cakephp. Hope the cake 4 version of that will release soon :) |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 09:25 |
kevin.pfeifer |
can you reproduce the error with newly created entites or is it just present with "old" data |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 09:23 |
etibor |
thats the case |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 09:23 |
etibor |
yes its seems |
| # |
May 14th 2021, 09:21 |
kevin.pfeifer |
so does it show the correct associated entities but its just missing a field? |
