FAQPage Schema

How do I run isolated PHP unit tests in Drupal without a full bootstrap?▼

To run isolated PHP unit tests in Drupal without bootstrapping, use the UnitTestCase base class to test pure PHP logic independently, mocking dependencies to avoid loading the full Drupal environment.

Can I mock dependencies when writing unit tests for Drupal modules?▼

Yes, you can mock dependencies when writing Drupal unit tests by using PHPUnit's mocking features within the UnitTestCase base class to isolate PHP components and test them without bootstrapping Drupal.

What is the difference between UnitTestCase and a full Drupal test bootstrap?▼

UnitTestCase allows testing isolated PHP logic with mocked dependencies without initializing the Drupal environment, whereas a full bootstrap loads the entire Drupal instance for integration testing.

Do I need PHPUnit installed to run Drupal unit tests with UnitTestCase?▼

Yes, PHPUnit must be available in your environment, and your Drupal module project must be configured to run tests using the UnitTestCase base class for isolated PHP logic.

When should I use UnitTestCase for testing Drupal components instead of other test types?▼

Use UnitTestCase when testing isolated PHP logic in Drupal modules with mocked dependencies, avoiding the overhead of a full Drupal bootstrap for faster and more focused unit testing.
