Jump to heading # Test

• first all PHPUnit, kernel and functional tests are executed (against an empty DB, these tests need to make sure to install all dependencies, but that's by design)
• then drupal gets installed and all existing-site-tests are executed. They work against the default content with an actual frontend and all configuration from code (quasi some kind of e2e-tests)

All this is happening in an isolated docker-compose setup which gets destroyed after test-exection.

To run the backend tests locally you have multiple choices:

1. either run them from PHPStorm against your local installation

2. or run it via,

   ddev ssh
   vendor/bin/phpunit

   use vendor/bin/phpunit --testdox if you want a nice verbose output.

3. if you want to run them isolated via docker-compose (w/o interfering with your local installation)

   phab -cci script build:frontend atag=<branch-name-wo-slash>
   phab -cci script push:frontend atag=<branch-name-wo-slash>
   phab -cci script test:backend atag=<branch-name-wo-slash>

Important: Tests need to be in the correct folder to be picked up. Please see phpunit.xml.dist
