Drupal 7 Module Development

Info

Chapter 2 } public function getInfo() { return array( 'name' => 'First module block functionality', 'description' => 'Test blocks in the First module.', 'group' => 'First', ); } The getInfo() method returns an array with three items: • name: The name of the test. • description: A sentence describing what the tests do. • group: The name of the group to which these tests belong. All three of these are intended to be human-readable. The first two are used for purely informational purposes. The third, group, is also used to group similar tests together under the same heading. When viewed from Configuration | Testing, the information above is displayed like this: Clean the environment If you have already run tests and your new test is not showing up, you may need to press the Clean environment button to reset the testing environment. Above you can see how the value of group became a grouping field, and name and description were used to describe the test. The getInfo() function might seem, at first blush, to be unimportant, but your test, absolutely must have it. Otherwise, the test case will not be made available for execution. [ 53 ]
Creating Your First <strong>Module</strong> Setting up the test case Often, a test case will require some setup and configuration, where shared values are initialized and subsystems made available. Fortunately, <strong>Drupal</strong> handles most of the basics. The database layer, module system, and initial configuration are all done. However, test cases often have to handle some initialization themselves. In cases where you need to do this, there is an existing method that will be called before tests are executed. This is the setUp() method. While we don't need any set up for our module, I am going to show it anyway so that we can see a few important things.
