This change reduces some unnecessary complexity in the library, Redis
commands do not change much after all. Developers can still implement
their own commands factory, inject new commands or override existing
ones. The "profile" client options has been renamed to "commands" and
it accepts instances of Predis\Command\FactoryInterface.
The test suite checks at runtime the version of the running instance
of Redis for integration tests to adapt itself automatically.
Even though tere are no changes between running the test suite against
3.0 and 2.8, we will stick with the current stable Redis version as
the default target and switch to 3.0 as soon as it will be released.
[ci skip]
Redis 3.0 does not really change much in terms of commands (most of
the ones implemented in the "unstable" branch have been backported to
the "2.8" branch after all) aside from a few cluster-related ones, so
we can bump the default version without worries.
Fix also a few bugs found while rewriting the test suite.
In order to be able to run integration tests, the test suite requires
a version of Redis >= 2.4.0.
The units have been splitted into several different groups using
PHPUnit @group annotation to allow developers to enable, disable
and combine certain types of tests. The available groups are:
- disconnected: can run without a Redis server online
- connected: active connection to a Redis server is required
- commands: test dedicated to a specific Redis command
- slow: performs operations that can slow down execution;
A list of the available groups can be obtained by running
phpunit --list-groups
Groups of tests can be disabled or enabled via the XML configuration
file or the standard command-line test runner. Please note that due
to a bug in PHPUnit, older versions ignore the --group option when
the group is excluded in the XML configuration file. Please refer to
http://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/320 for details
Integration tests in the @connected group check if the command being
tested is defined in the selected server profile (see the value of
the TEST_SERVER_VERSION constant in phpunit.xml). If the command is
not defined in the target server profile, the integration test is
automatically marked as skipped.
We also provide an helper script in the bin directory that can be
used to automatically generate a file with the scheleton of a test
case for a Redis command by specifying the name of the class in the
Predis\Commands namespace. For example, to generate a test case for
SET (represented by the Predis\Commands\StringSet class):
./bin/generate-command-test.php --class=StringSet
The realm of a command is automatically inferred from the name of the
class, but it can be set using the --realm option.
This is especially handy because users can now easily override them without
modifying the source code of the test suite and just by creating a phpunit.xml
file that is automatically picked up by phpunit over the phpunit.xml.dist file
shipped within the repository.
