I ‘ve been meaning to play around with Mockery, but until then, I’ve come up with some ways to deal with Mocks in PHPUnit (I personally don’t think the implementation is too bad, but I’m not a die hard tester…). One of the issues I commonly run into is needing to return mocked objects from a mocked method. This is easy if the method is only called once, but what about if the same method is called a couple of times, and you need to return different mocks (e.g. ::bootstrap($name) will return different objects based on the $name parameter)?

I’ve used a closure with a callbackValue to get around this:

What about needing to return a different value based on the number of times the method has been called? I’ll use a callback function, but then have a static variable in the callback function that keeps track of how many times it has been called. In the test setUp() method, I will reset the static variable, so the function can be used across a number of different tests.

1. Type: TXT
2. Name: Enter the FQD name domain that you put in Google Webmaster Tools I.e. for this site, I would use www.robertbolton.com or robertbolton.com, depending on what I entered into Webmaster Tools.
3. Data: Enter the value provided by Google (i.e. google-site-verification: waRANDbRgWxXfEBMKhl8c1v8fL1kcVvRtPFU-OmN9I1)

To see if it worked, you can use the command line “host -t txt robertbolton.com” and a result should come back. Or just cross your fingers and click the verify button in Google…

Even when I launched Nvidia with sudo (sudo nvidia-settings), I still got this error on the command line:

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Undefined Device “(null)” referenced by Screen “Default Screen”.

I moved /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a new filename, ran sudo nvidia-settings and was able to save as new xorg.conf file and now I have both monitors on start up. Also looks like you can simply edit the existing xorg.conf file and you will be able to save your settings.

Modules

Then, In application.ini, you need to add the following two lines:
resources.modules[] =
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH “/modules”

Finally, in order to load models and views, you need to add a Bootstrap.php file in the root of the modules - i.e. application/modules/cms/Bootstrap.php. In the module Bootstrap.php, place the following:

You should be all set with modules now. Models you create within the module will use the naming convention of Cms_Model_Foo and controllers will be Cms_IndexController (when using Zend_Tool_Project and issuing zf create controller index index-action-included=1 cms, it names the controller class IndexController instead of Cms_IndexController?)

Autoloading Custom Library

The last thing I needed was to autoload my personal library which uses the naming convention Bolton_. My custom library resides in the same folder as the Zend library and is within my include path set in php.ini. In application.ini, you need to add the following line:

autoloaderNamespaces[] = \"Bolton_\"

The two above lines of code don’t behave the same. When passing in 2 as a string instead of a number, PHPUnit declares it a failure:

Em_Model_Collection_MapperTest::testDeleteCollectionWithJoinTable
Expectation failed for method name is equal to  when invoked 2 time(s).
Method was expected to be called 2 times, actually called 2 times.

            window.addEvent('domready', function() {
                $('myForm').addEvent('submit',function(event) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                    this.send();
                })
            });

This does not work

            window.addEvent('domready', function() {
                $('myForm').addEvent('submit',function(event) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                    this.send({onComplete:function(){alert('this');}});
                })
            });

This works with callbacks

            window.addEvent('domready', function() {
                $('myForm').addEvent('submit',function(event) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                    this.set('send',{onComplete:function(){
                            alert('this');
                        }
                    }).send();
                })
            });

Anyways, after a day of playing with MooTools, I have say I am impressed. Not sure why, but I think this is my favorite framework. I can’t say I have much experience with JS frameworks, and my JavaScript is pretty bad these days, but I am impressed with MooTools so far.

Use the symlink command in PHP. Obviously you need to have the proper permissions, and since PHP may be running as a different user, your mileage may very. But it worked for me…
