Automated Testing
Tripal 4 is being developed with automated testing as it is upgraded. This greatly improves the stability of our software and our ability to fix any bugs. We highly recommend developing automated testing alongside any extension modules you create! This guide is intended to explain how automated testing is working for Tripal 4 and help you develop similar tests for your extensions.
How run automated tests locally
See the Drupal “Running PHPUnit tests” guide for instructions on running tests on your local environment. In order to ensure our Tripal functional testing is fully bootstrapped, tests should be run from Drupal core.
If you are using the docker distributed with this module, then you can run tests using:
docker exec --workdir=/var/www/drupal/web/modules/contrib/tripal tripal phpunit
Tripal-focused Testing
The following automated testing documentation and tutorials are focused on testing Tripal-specific functionality within Tripal Core and Extension modules. If there is a topic you would like covered that is not yet documented, please add an issue on our github at https://github.com/tripal/tripal_doc/issues!
