This target starts the PHP built-in server and execute the Behat tests. Development - getting started ----------------------------- [](#development---getting-started) First, you need to install all dependencies (you'll need [composer](https://getcomposer.org/)): ``` $ cd /tmp && curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer ``` The following command will download all the composer dependencies required for development and testing: ``` make build_dev ``` ### Running Tests [](#running-tests) The internal unit tests includes a database testing, so you need to install MySQL and SQLite with PDO drivers. You also need to create the following MySQL database with the right privileges: ``` CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS testrest_test; GRANT ALL ON testrest_test.* TO 'testrest'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'testrest'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; ``` You also need to install APC and memcached to test all features. To execute all the tests you can now run `make qa_all`. Please issue the command `make help` to see all available options and execute individual tests. ### Coding standards [](#coding-standards) This project follows the PSR2 coding standard. To see any errors in your code, you can use the `make phpcs` command. We also use a tool to detect any code smells. To run it, use `make phpmd`. Before submitting a Pull Request, please execute the `make qa_all` to be sure that no errors where introduced. Additionally, please check the target/coverage/index.html report to be sure that every line of code is covered by a unit test. If you add any new gherkin language feature please also add an example in test/features.
