I’m doing WordPress functional testing so I read the HTML and use Mastermind/HTML5 to transform the test. However, the tests now are getting slow because loading HTML document takes around 1s per test. I’d like to share the fixture between tests so I don’t have to do the parse for each test. But I have one constraint, the method that gets the html from is in the parent class which is non-static method
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/tests/phpunit/includes/testcase.php?rev=32953#L328
What choice do I have to share the fixture between tests.
Here’s my example code
class Testcase extends WP_UnitTestCase {
public function setUp() {
parent::setUp();
}
public function get_dom( $path ) {
$html = $this->go_to( $path ); // I cannot change this method
// do some html parsing and return DOM
}
}
Here’s my sample test
class Testcase1 extends Testcase {
public setUp(){
$this->dom = $this->get_dom('/')
}
public test_1() {
}
public test_2() {
}
}
I was thinking of making the method get_dom
static so it will just be called once but as far as I know static method cannot call non-static method. Am I correct? and if yes is there anyway I could share the fixture between tests?
Do you mean cache the data “dom”? Try this:
