Phalcon Demo Application
========================

[](#phalcon-demo-application)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8aa75c863e5f03cc46ff0da9a0afda30e3127032b2ae5f488c53d616eb9331c4/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f436f646563657074696f6e2f7068616c636f6e2d64656d6f2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Codeception/phalcon-demo)

We use **modified** [Phalcon INVO Application](https://github.com/phalcon/invo/) to demonstrate basics of Codeception testing. We expect to implement as many features as possible to showcase the framework and its potential.

Please write us if you have any feedback.

Thanks.

NOTE
----

[](#note)

The master branch will always contain the latest stable version. If you wish to check older versions or newer ones currently under development, please switch to the relevant branch.

Get Started
-----------

[](#get-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.2
- Latest stable [Phalcon Framework v4](https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/releases) extension enabled
- [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) >= 5.1.5
- Codeception >= 4.0

### Installation

[](#installation)

#### The Composer way (recommended)

[](#the-composer-way-recommended)

Using Composer, you can create a new project, write this code on your terminal:

```
composer create-project codeception/phalcon-demo --prefer-dist
```

After running this command, there should be an output, similar below:

```
Installing codeception/phalcon-demo (version)
  - Installing codeception/phalcon-demo (version)

Created project in
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)

...
...
...

Writing lock file
Generating autoload files
Do you want to remove the existing VCS (.git, .svn..) history? [Y,n]? y

```

#### The Git way

[](#the-git-way)

Another way to fetch project by using `git clone`:

First you need to clone this repository:

```
git clone git@github.com:Codeception/phalcon-demo.git
```

Install composer in a common location or in your project:

```
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```

Then install dependencies:

```
php composer.phar install
```

#### Setup Database

[](#setup-database)

A MySQL database is also bundled in this project. The connection to the database is required for several tests. You'll need to create the database and initialize schema.

You can create a database as follows:

```
echo 'CREATE DATABASE phalcon_demo CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci' | mysql -u root
```

then initialize schema:

```
cat schemas/phalcon_demo.sql | mysql -u root phalcon_demo

```

**Note:**

For these tests we use the user `root` with `password` as password. You may need to change this in `tests/codeception.yml`. You can override application config by creating `app/config/config.ini.dev` (already gitignored).

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

Phalcon Demo Application uses [Codeception](https://codeception.com/) functional, acceptance and unit tests.

First you need to re-generate base classes for all suites:

```
vendor/bin/codecept build
```

You can execute all test with `run` command:

```
vendor/bin/codecept run

# OR detailed output
vendor/bin/codecept run --debug
```

Read more about the installation and configuration of Codeception:

- [Codeception Introduction](https://codeception.com/docs/01-Introduction)
- [Codeception Console Commands](https://codeception.com/docs/reference/Commands)

If you cannot run the tests, please refer to the `.travis.yml` file for more instructions how we test Phalcon Demo Application. For detailed information on our application environment setting refer to `app/config/env.php` file.
