Utilities to aid in testing SimpleSAMLphp modules

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Install as a dev dependency using composer

```
composer require --dev  cirrusidentity/simplesamlphp-test-utils:dev-master

```

Update the dependency

```
composer update -dev  cirrusidentity/simplesamlphp-test-utils

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

This project makes heavy use of `AspectMock` to make SSP's internal easier to test. Adjust your phpunit bootstrap.php per  to setup AspectMock and also ensure you set `backupGlobals="false"` in phpunit.xml. See this projects `boostrap.php` on some workarounds for getting AspectMock to play nicely with SSP's custom class loader

You can sanity check your project by calling `SanityChecker::confirmAspectMockConfigured()`in a test. See `AspectMockConfiguredTest` for an example.

Clearing Static State
---------------------

[](#clearing-static-state)

You *should* reset `AspectMock` after each test.

```
use AspectMock\Test as test;
...
    protected function tearDown() {
        test::clean(); // remove all registered test doubles
    }
```

Several SSP components also cache things across all tests. Some of these classes are marked with the `\SimpleSAML\Utils\ClearableState` interface and you can clear this state at the appropriate time for your tests.

Mock Redirects
--------------

[](#mock-redirects)

Your module may need to redirect the user somewhere. If you try to create a unit test for a redirect you'll normally have trouble since SSP's redirect method eventually calls `exit`You can use `MockHttp` (which internally uses `AspectMock`) to change the behavior of the redirect method to throw an exception instead. You can then catch the exception and asserted the correct URL was being redirect to

```
        // Enable throwing an exception when redirects would normally be called.
        MockHttp::throwOnRedirectTrustedURL();
        $params = [
            'state' => '1234'
        ];
        try {
            HTTP::redirectTrustedURL('http://my.url.com', $params);
            $this->fail('Exception expected');
        } catch (RedirectException $e) {
            $this->assertEquals('redirectTrustedURL', $e->getMessage());
            $this->assertEquals('http://my.url.com', $e->getUrl());
            $this->assertEquals($params, $e->getParams());
        }
```

Mock Auth Sources
-----------------

[](#mock-auth-sources)

See MockAuthSourceTest. `bootstrap.php` needs to explicitly load the Source.php file

```
$kernel->loadFile($projectRoot . '/vendor/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp/lib/SimpleSAML/Auth/Source.php');

```
