SimpleTester is a testing library for CodeIgniter, that wraps the Simpletest framework.

[b]Installation instructions[/b]

  1. Download SimpleTester 1.0 here:
  2. Unzip file to the application folder.
  3. Download the SimpleTest framework [url=http://simpletest.org/en/download.html]here[/url]
  4. Gunzip that file to application/libraries (a folder called “simpletest” should be created in application/libraries)
  5. Add “simpletester” to autoloading libraries in config/autoload.php
  6. Installation complete! Run your application. A small box should appear on the top right of the page, confirming that the default tests passed.
  7. Now you can check out the test file templates in application/tests, and the SimpleTester configuration file in config. Try to change a test in a template test file to see if the installation really works. By failing a test, a big red bar should appear on the top of the page.
  8. Put all your test files in “application/tests”. Use the template files for a quicker start.

[b]Note for machines with IP != 127.0.0.1[/b] If you develop on a machine where PHP doesn’t see the server IP as 127.0.0.1, you must change the configuration file to allow the IP your development machine has.
