phpunit-test

name	phpunit-test
description	Implements incomplete test stubs in tests/CpanelTest.php by replacing markTestIncomplete() with real assertions. Use when user says 'implement test', 'write test for', 'complete test stub', or references a src/Cpanel.php method lacking coverage. Do NOT use for adding new test classes or new test methods that don't already exist as stubs.

phpunit-test

Critical

• Never remove the @covers docblock — it maps to the method under test; keep it verbatim.
• $this->object is already instantiated in setUp() as new Cpanel(getenv('CPANEL_LICENSING_USERNAME'), getenv('CPANEL_LICENSING_PASSWORD')) — do not re-instantiate.
• All public methods return null on validation failure (not exceptions). Test the null return, not an exception.
• Use tabs for indentation (per .scrutinizer.yml), not spaces.
• Run tests with: vendor/bin/phpunit tests/ -v

Instructions

1. Read the stub in tests/CpanelTest.php. Locate the target testMethodName() containing $this->markTestIncomplete(...). Note the @covers tag to confirm which method is under test.

2. Read src/Cpanel.php and study the target method. Identify:

   • Required array keys (checked via array_key_exists)
   • Which validator is called: validateIP($args['ip']) (matches \d*.\d*.\d*.\d*) or validateID($args['liscid']) (matches (L|P|G)?\d*)
   • The return type (array from get(), or null)

3. Write validation-failure assertions first (no network needed). For each missing required key or invalid value, call the method and assert the return is null:

   $this->assertNull($this->object->methodName([]));
   $this->assertNull($this->object->methodName(['ip' => 'not-an-ip']));
   

4. Write a setFormat test (if implementing testSet_format) — no network call needed:

   $this->object->setFormat('json');
   $this->assertEquals('json', $this->object->format);
   $this->object->setFormat('invalid');
   $this->assertEquals('json', $this->object->format, 'Invalid format must not change the value');
   $this->object->setFormat('simplexml'); // restore default
   

5. For methods that make live API calls (require credentials), guard with markTestSkipped if env vars are absent:

   if (!getenv('CPANEL_LICENSING_USERNAME')) {
       $this->markTestSkipped('CPANEL_LICENSING_USERNAME not set');
   }
   $result = (array) $this->object->fetchGroups();
   $this->assertIsArray($result);
   

6. Remove the two lines:

   $this->markTestIncomplete(
       'This test has not been implemented yet.'
   );
   

   Replace with the assertions from steps 3–5.

7. Verify: vendor/bin/phpunit tests/ -v — the test must no longer show I (incomplete); it must show OK or S (skipped).

Examples

User says: "implement testExtendOnetimeUpdates"

Method signature in src/Cpanel.php:

public function extendOnetimeUpdates($args) {
    if (!array_key_exists('ip', $args)) { error_log(...); return; }
    if (!$this->validateIP($args['ip'])) { error_log(...); return; }
    return $this->get('XMLonetimeext.cgi', $args);
}

Result in tests/CpanelTest.php:

/**
 * @covers Detain\Cpanel\Cpanel::extendOnetimeUpdates
 */
public function testExtendOnetimeUpdates()
{
	$this->assertNull($this->object->extendOnetimeUpdates([]));
	$this->assertNull($this->object->extendOnetimeUpdates(['ip' => 'invalid']));
	if (!getenv('CPANEL_LICENSING_USERNAME')) {
		$this->markTestSkipped('CPANEL_LICENSING_USERNAME not set');
	}
	$result = (array) $this->object->extendOnetimeUpdates(['ip' => '1.2.3.4']);
	$this->assertIsArray($result);
}

Common Issues

• markTestIncomplete still present after edit: You replaced only the string argument, not the full two-line call. Remove both $this->markTestIncomplete( and 'This test has not been implemented yet.' and the closing );.
• assertIsArray undefined: Upgrade to PHPUnit 7.5+ or use $this->assertTrue(is_array($result)) as fallback.
• Test fails with null for a valid-looking IP like '1.2.3.4': validateIP uses preg_match("/^\d*.\d*.\d*.\d*$/") — dots are unescaped wildcards, but any IPv4 string with three dots passes. Ensure no missing required keys in $args.
• Cannot find class StatisticClient: Normal — the class_exists guard in src/Cpanel.php makes this optional. Tests pass without it.
• Credentials error in live test: Set env vars before running: CPANEL_LICENSING_USERNAME=user CPANEL_LICENSING_PASSWORD=pass vendor/bin/phpunit ...
