Running Selenium Tests

In order to run the Selenium-based web tests, some configuration for the
Roundcube test instance need to be created. Along with the default config for a
given Roundcube instance, you should provide a config specifically for running
tests. To do so, create a config file named config-test.inc.php in the
regular Roundcube config dir. That should provide specific db_dsnw and
default_host values for testing purposes as well as the credentials of a
valid IMAP user account used for running the tests with.

Add these config options used by the Selenium tests:

  // Unit tests settings
  $config['tests_username'] = 'roundcube.test@example.org';
  $config['tests_password'] = '<test-account-password>';
  $config['tests_url'] = 'http://localhost/roundcube/index-test.php';

The tests_url should point to Roundcube's index-test.php file accessible by
the Selenium web browser.

WARNING

Please note that the configured IMAP account as well as the Roundcube database
configred in db_dsnw will be wiped and filled with test data in every test
run. Under no circumstances you should use credentials of a production database
or email account!

Run the tests

First you need to start a Selenium server. We recommend to use the
Selenium Standalone Server but the tests will also run on a
Selenium Grid. The tests are based in PHPUnit_Selenium which can be
installed through PEAR.

To start the test suite call phpunit from the Selenium directory:

  cd <roundcube-dir>/tests/Selenium
  phpunit
