I created a php unit test for myDoctrine ORM
entity class that has 13 public getter and setter methods. These getter/setter methods not only get/set entity property, but has some extra logic within, so writing tests seems like a no-brainer.
If a getter is namedsetToken
then my test would be namedtestSettingToken
.
Now Entity class itself does not getPHPMD.TooManyPublicMethods
warning since methods startingget
andset
are ignored by the rule, while my unit test class thows it since methods starts withtest
.
Looking at the PHPUnit documentation and examples online, it seems like a common practise starting test methods with prefix oftest
. So why doesn't PHPMD ignore test methods the way it does it with getters and setters?
test
prefix?test
prefix to have test methods start as get/set?I also noticed that there is a possibility to determineignorepattern
in the phpmd configuration file:
<rule ref="rulesets/codesize.xml/TooManyPublicMethods">
<properties>
<property name="ignorepattern" value="(^(set|get|is|has|test))i"/>
</properties>
</rule>
I trully avoid updating rulesets since I am trying to follow coding standards as much as possible. Could this still be the best practice?
