AddClass units tests.

This test case demonstrates the following PHPUnit annotations:

  • dataProvider
  • expectedException.

PHPUnit looks for classes with names ending in 'Test'. Then it looks to see whether that class is a subclass of \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase. Drupal supplies us with Drupal\Tests\UnitTestCase, which is a subclass of \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase. So yay, PHPUnit will find this class.

In unit testing, there should be as few dependencies as possible. We want the smallest number of moving parts to be interacting in our test, or we won't be sure where the errors are, or whether our tests passed by accident.

So with that in mind, it's up to us to build out whatever dependencies we need. In the case of AddClass, our needs are meager; we only want an instance of AddClass so we can test its add() method.

     * This is a very simple unit test of a single method. It has
     * a single assertion, and that assertion is probably going to
     * pass. It ignores most of the problems that could arise in the
     * method under test, so therefore: It is not a very good test.

     * Test AddClass::add() with a data provider method.
     *
     * This method is very similar to testAdd(), but uses a data provider method
     * to test with a wider range of data.
     *
     * You can tell PHPUnit which method is the data provider using the
     * '@dataProvider' annotation.
     *
     * The data provider method just returns a big array of arrays of arguments.
     * That is, for each time you want this test method run, the data provider
     * should create an array of arguments for this method. In this case, it's
     * $expected, $a, and $b. So one set of arguments would look a bit like this
     * pseudocode:
     *
     * @code
     * array( valueForExpected, valueForA, valueForB )
     * @endcode
     *
     * It would then wrap this up in a higher-level array, so that PHPUnit can
     * loop through them, like this pseudocode:
     *
     * @code
     * return array( array(first, set), array (next, set) );
     * @endcode
     *
     * This test has a better methodology than testAdd(), because it can easily
     * be adapted by other developers, and because it tries more than one data
     * set. This test is much better than testAdd(), although it still only
     * tests 'good' data. When combined with testAddWithBadDataProvider(),
     * we get a better picture of the behavior of the method under test.

     * This method is similar to testAddWithDataProvider(), but the data
     * provider gives us data that should throw an exception.
     *
     * This test uses the setExpectedException() method to tell PHPUnit that
     * a thrown exception should pass the test. You specify a
     * fully-qualified exception class name. If you specify \Exception, PHPUnit
     * will pass any exception, whereas a more specific subclass of \Exception
     * will require that exception type to be thrown.
     *
     * Alternately, you can use try and catch blocks with assertions in order
     * to test exceptions. We won't demonstrate that here; it's a much better
     * idea to test your exceptions with setExpectedException().
